Families are now spending $600 more per month than they were three years ago, but the president says it is not his fault.

With some paying upwards of $700 more per month for their health insurance this year, a one-time $500 "refund" hardly begins to address the affordability crisis. We spoke to @wowt6news.bsky.social about it.

Inflation rises to 3.7%, and now the odds of another interest rate hike have grown. This will mean higher borrowing costs for all of us from credit cards to car loans and mortgages.

Speaker Mike Johnson suggests economic challenges right now have nothing to do with the war, tariffs, or any other policy choices.

Once again, it is apparently the media's fault that consumers are frustrated by the rising cost of living.

The chaos caused by sweeping tariffs and sky-high diesel prices is leading to local farms losing money or breaking even, if they are lucky. Here's a glimpse of what metro farmers are experiencing right now.

Some leaders say we are in a "Golden Age" right now, but consumer sentiment has fallen dramatically in the past 20 years.

Nebraska's entire federal delegation has voted multiple times to allow tariffs and the war in Iran to continue. It is pushing prices higher for goods across the board.

Nebraska For Us @nebraskaforus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Tariffs are certainly a tax on consumers, which is why we have been worried about the fallout from the start. Still, Congressman Bacon voted multiple times to keep the tariffs in place.

An executive order won't change the fact that farmers have paid significantly more for diesel and other goods this year. Frustration remains high as harvest season is underway.

It's another example of how these rising fuel costs have downstream effects. Area districts will have to deal with higher prices to get kids to and from school.

It feels like a broken record at this point. We keep hearing fuel prices will plummet, but gas prices are still at $4.36 a gallon in Nebraska. "Wage growth" will not make up for the sharp increase in our costs.

Nebraskans are feeling real economic pain right now. Our leaders in Washington do not seem to fully understand what we are experiencing at the gas pump and the grocery store.

As frustration rises among Nebraska's farmers and ranchers, it seems the federal government has no good fixes for the economic damage already done.

A statement from State Director Angie Lauritsen as brand new data shows SNAP enrollment has fallen 26% in Nebraska in the last year. Medicaid cuts are beginning to pick up, too.

Get ready to pay more to heat your home this winter. Prices will go even higher, and the war in Iran is playing a role. It's a war Congressmen Don Bacon and Mike Flood have voted multiple times in support of.

We're trying to find this "Golden Age" they're talking about. Prices have not fallen as promised, and tariffs and the war are making the pain worse. Gas is above $4 per gallon, and diesel prices keep hitting new records.

As if Medicaid cuts weren't enough, now the federal government is cutting health care for ACA recipients. They say there is fraud without providing proof. It's a common theme harming those who need assistance the most.

The president claims oil prices will soon fall, but diesel prices once again set a record in Nebraska today.

We should apparently be grateful we are not paying $20 a gallon for diesel right now. It set a new record in Nebraska today at $6.23, compared to $3.42 this time last year.

Gas is up to $4.39 at some metro gas stations, while others have diesel as high as $6.29. Now, there are fears the war in Iran could escalate and drive prices even higher.
