I hope you have a little additional money set aside... Just in case there's high inflation between now and when you turn 90 in a few years...
Need to know what others did with their 16 cents

Are the Dems mocking Americans? Or do they really think that Americans are that dumb to get excited about saving 16 cents on hot dogs (which they lied about anyway)?It's tragic to believe you have 16 extra cents and after you have fun with the windfall it turns out you didn't have 16 extra cents
White House Doubles Down on 'Saving' Americans Money This Independence Day
Last week the White House released a video arguing President Biden's economic policies are saving families 16 cents on their Independence Day cookout.
Planning a cookout this year? Ketchup on the news. According to the Farm Bureau, the cost of a 4th of July BBQ is down from last year. It’s a fact you must-hear(d). Hot dog, the Biden economic plan is working. And that’s something we can all relish.

But is the 16 cents in savings even true?
According to the data, which Spencer has detailed here, Americans are experiencing the most expensive Independence Day in years.
According to AAA, the nationwide average for unleaded fuel hit $3.09 per gallon, the highest ahead of the Fourth of July weekend since 2014. And as more states and businesses relax restrictions put in place due to the Wuhan coronavirus, this weekend will see 43.6 million Americans — the most travelers so far this year — hit the road, per AAA. "Today, 89 percent of US gas stations are selling regular unleaded for $2.75 or more. That is a stark increase over last July 4 when only a quarter of stations were selling gas for more than $2.25," a spokesperson said.
It's not just at the pump where Americans are feeling the impact of inflation, they're also seeing common food items get more expensive.
Comparing Labor Department average price data on common goods over the last decade, trips to the grocery store this summer will also be among the most expensive in years.
Jen Psaki claims the price of hot dogs has decreased under Biden.
They're at a 10-year high.

Regardless, the White House is doubling down and touting the "savings."

If you haven't gone wild with that extra 16 cents you thought you had... you might want to hold onto that empty space in your pocket...

Likely the reason why Jen Psaki got picked as the spokeswoman for the Biden admin is that she looks like Raggedy Ann and no one who ever had a Raggedy Ann doll or story book could ever imagine Raggedy Ann lying.It's tragic to believe you have 16 extra cents and after you have fun with the windfall it turns out you didn't have 16 extra cents

I wanted to buy the good hot dog buns but they were more than .16 cents above the store brand, so I just got the store brand as usual. The .16 cents went toward the higher cost of the corn.

I bought a face mask with my $0.16, which blew out the window when I rolled it down. I can’t afford to run the AC in my car now that gas has increased a $1.00 a gallon under the current demorat regime

I have to buy a car this Fall so I guess I will apply it to a car. It should pay for the lint on the carpet.

I bought the car yesterday and the dealership said to drive my 2021 vehicle and enjoy it but to keep the 16 cents because there was nothing on the car it could be applied to - not even the lint!
now I’m stuck with it again.

I'm going to invest my 16 cents in cryptocurrency. 16 cents will buy me 4 Stellar Lumens (XLM) units. Currently it's trading at 4 cents a unit, but has hit as high as 83 cents. If it does it again, my 16 cents will be worth roughly $3.20 and I'll be able to buy a Double-Double at In-N-Out!!!

Had to buy a new clearance light for my truck. One went out. Cost a whole lot more than $.16 cents!! Oh well...

Back in the good old days you could buy nuts and bolts and screws and whatnot out of bins and pay a penny or three for each item. Nowadays when I just need a screw or nut or something and don't want to spend several dollars for a pack of 4 I go to our one store that still sells stuff like that loose and will likely pay 60 cents or more for just a single little screw. I don't even think I could buy a washer for 16 cents anymore.

You can get a decent-sized bag of assorted washers for $2 or $3 at Ace.

In which city? I'll need to figure in the cost of airfare too.
