She's a walking Trump ad.

Inorder to bring inflation down you would need deflation. We haven't had deflation recently.

they brought down the rate of inflation which means prices are rising at a lower rate. It is now 2.9% which is getting closer to fed target of 2%.

Hmmmm,

Harris/Biden did not do a darn thing to bring down inflation!

Nothing! What did they do? What?


The person who brought down inflation was the Fed. By raising interest rates and cooling down the economy. The inflation rate, although better now, should have been even lower if Biden did not spend like crazy past few years and print and devalue the dollar. One example is printing $800 billion for the IRA that did NOT need to be spent at the time.

Even if the inflation rate now is 2-3%. The prices are Still rising!!!!! The prices are not going down and the previous years of 5-9% inflation are still priced into you cost of milk, eggs, wood, housing products.

For those who are actually interested in policy and economics, rather than reflexively slinging mud at their less preferred candidate, academics say that neither Trump nor Biden was really to blame for inflation.

‘Neither Trump nor Biden is to blame’
Global events beyond Trump’s or Biden’s control wreaked havoc on supply and demand dynamics in the U.S. economy, fueling higher prices, economists said.

There were other factors, too.The Federal Reserve, which acts independently from the Oval Office, was slow to act to contain hot inflation, for example. Some Biden and Trump policies such as pandemic relief packages also likely played a role, as might have so-called greedflation.

Again and again,

There would have been inflation in the USA after Covid period! Supply chain issues and the pandemic were to blame.

But, Biden made it worse than it had to be by passing bills that pumped hundreds of billion DOLLARS into the economy that were printed out of thin air. That devalues the existing dollars in the economy and thus worsened inflation!!! Simple economics.

Not that simple.

Trump had the Cares act in 2020 that dealt with the Covid shut downs and then in 2021 Biden has the American rescue plan which was a continuation of that. Both were needed to keep economy going.

After that the massive. Infrastructure bill that was signed by Biden for 1.2 Trillion ( 500 billion as to go into investments for the future) and the 800 billion IRA by Biden that was essentially a green energy bill did. It did not to be SPENT!!!!! That is 2 Trillion, TRILLION printed out of thin air. So yeah, the spending on these 2 bills ramped up inflation so much higher than it should have been, period.

If Trump said that, it would be mocked

Not really. He's such a fire hose of obvious, demonstrable lies, there's no point.

He used IVF as a term instead of IUI because IVF is something most people have heard of whereas IUI isn't.
He attained a rank and served in that capacity for months, and then retired, at the rank below.

These are not "lies" and certainly not like any of Trump's thousands of obvious lies.

He had "Command Sargent Major" stamped on his Congressional challenge coin. That's stolen valor. He claimed to have "carried a weapon of war, in war". That's stolen valor, not bad grammar.

That isn't stolen valor. He achieved the rank and served in the rank, but retired a rung lower.

He did not achieve e9. He wasn’t promoted to e9 then demoted at retirement. He never went beyond e8. He is a gross liar. You are an enabler.

He served in an e9 capacity for several months, but did not do the coursework to codify the rank, so when he retired, he retired at his previous grade. this is pretty well documented.

Again-being frocked in anticipation that you will attend the SMA is not a promotion. The promotion occurs after successfully completing SMA. He served as an e9, made the e9 list, but was always an e8. That’s facts.

The coursework was attending SMA, which he either declined to do or dropped out of. He doesn’t specify which he did.

You don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t get promoted until you complete the coursework. He was never promoted to e9.

He wasn’t an e9 except in name for a few months. He wasn’t an e9 who was demoted to e8 at retirement; he was an e8 that acted as an e9 for a few months. He was never promoted.

Okay, okay. If it makes you feel better and stop creaming your pants, Walz acted in the capacity of an E9. Less than 1% of the American public has ever achieved the position of E8, more less represented the USA in the capacity of an E9, even if it was short-lived. The man was an E9 at some point, but never fully retained the rank. Copy. Now let's talk about shiit that really impacts the American people. Jeeze, we need a lot of week killer for this thread.

To be fair, he didn’t *order* them to kill Pence exactly — he just made absolutely sure that the enormous violent mob he’d assembled, the mob with the weapons and rope and gallows who were chanting “hang Mike Pence” while breaking into the building where Pence and his family were hiding, the mob he’d whipped into a furor with inflammatory and increasingly violent rhetoric about “revolution”, was 100% certain that Pence was to blame for what he said was the ruin of our nation. And then he sat and watched it all unfold on television, and waited, and waited, and waited, all while doing nothing to protect Pence or anyone else.

Again, my brother-in-law was A superintendent of a school and retired and was a substitute in that school for several years.... When people asked what his career was, should he say oh a substitute teacher?? And discount all of the hard work he put in for years and years in that school and rising to the highest rank? I don't understand why the last position you had determines who you are for the rest of your life. If you earned something you get to use that title....

Oh come on. The first billion were those famous "Trump Checks" that your boy insisted his signature appear on the checks before issuing. Those fraudulent PPP loans that dumped billions of dollars in the system came from Trump. Biden closed it in early 2021. Simple economics you say.

Who needs clean water, safe roads, safe bridges, reliable energy, climate reducing methods, and high band internet for rural areas. Nah, just wait another two to three decades. NBD

Wrong timing. You don’t need to spend 1.2 trillion in the middle of a pandemic and when inflation is through the roof.


Hey, I want to buy a retirement house right now, but I got a kid in college now. When he graduates in 2 years, the. I’ll buy that house when the time so right.

So yeah, infrastructure is needed, but not in the middle of a pandemic recovery and raging inflation.

Yeah, what’s a few more people without electricity after big storms and who cares how many 35W bridge collapses we have to experience. Always later! That’s why I vote Donald Trump, because I like kicking the can down the road into never and I’m easily reassured by a pat on the head and being told “in two weeks.” Then I know we can think about a problem never. What’s it to me if entire cities don’t have drinkable water? You can buy it, duh-doy. Frankly, if an airport landing strip isn’t bumpy enough to knock off the landing gear, are we even flying, really? Make my country unlivable and miserable for as many as possible and vote for the GOP!

Her replies didn’t have the depth or nuance I expected from someone who has been part of Biden administration for 3.5 years.

When she talks about spending HOURS in the situation room, I suspect she was being honest—more than one. Less than five.

Okay, she's a mediocre candidate.

But she's still much better than the alternative. Trump is a nearly an octogenarian (and will be part-way through the next presidential term) and is rapidly declining both mentally and physically. This job is one of the most stressful and aging jobs and he will not be able to survive competently for a four year term. Biden was much more stable both physically and mentally in 2020 than Trump is now and look where Biden is. The same will happen to Trump. It is quite likely that should Trump be elected, Vance would have to execute 25A to have Trump removed from office for age-related incompetency and then we would be left with Vance who is even less qualified than Harris to assume the office. At this point, Trump is not fit for office and he will only get worse, not better.

Trump did not pay attention to his daily briefings when he was last President. He will have even less attention span for them now and we would be risking a aging senior who needs to have elder care making uninformed decisions for national and international events and having access to the football. Additionally, an aging senior who has alienated our European and NATO allies, has courted relationships and proudly touted relationships with Russia's Putin and North Korea's Kim. You are risking world-wide political instability entrusting the US international relations to someone in his state of age-related decline.

I hate to have to 100% agree with you. I'm so angry that these are our 2 choices for president.

I'm a never Trumper and will vote for Harris because of the two she's the better (I am in Maryland so even if I was MAGA it wouldn't matter at the voting box). But I wish we had 2 better choices. Walz seems like much better VP than Vance though. MUCH better.

Part of the reason you always think we have crummy choices is that there is a huge industry devoted to tearing down politicians.

So basically never, because there will always be something else where the USA is concerned. Like I said, congress has been trying to get an infrastructure bill passed since the 90's to no avail. Bush, Obama and Trump tried, but Biden got it done. I am not sure if Clinton tried or not. And during all this time, bridges were collapsing; lead pipes were bringing contaminated water into our homes and businesses; roads were like swiss cheese; large swaths of America did not have access to internet access; the electric grid was hit or miss; and don't even talk about the climate issues. But hey, I guess the country could wait another 20 years, and for those who did not live in or near big cities, they were just SOL. I get it. Maybe Trump shouldn't have given huge tax breaks to the wealthiest amongst us and there would have been a little bit more money in the coffers.

She's a walking Trump ad.

Inorder to bring inflation down you would need deflation. We haven't had deflation recently.

they brought down the rate of inflation which means prices are rising at a lower rate. It is now 2.9% which is getting closer to fed target of 2%.

Hmmmm,

Harris/Biden did not do a darn thing to bring down inflation!

Nothing! What did they do? What?


The person who brought down inflation was the Fed. By raising interest rates and cooling down the economy. The inflation rate, although better now, should have been even lower if Biden did not spend like crazy past few years and print and devalue the dollar. One example is printing $800 billion for the IRA that did NOT need to be spent at the time.

Even if the inflation rate now is 2-3%. The prices are Still rising!!!!! The prices are not going down and the previous years of 5-9% inflation are still priced into you cost of milk, eggs, wood, housing products.

For those who are actually interested in policy and economics, rather than reflexively slinging mud at their less preferred candidate, academics say that neither Trump nor Biden was really to blame for inflation.

‘Neither Trump nor Biden is to blame’
Global events beyond Trump’s or Biden’s control wreaked havoc on supply and demand dynamics in the U.S. economy, fueling higher prices, economists said.

There were other factors, too.The Federal Reserve, which acts independently from the Oval Office, was slow to act to contain hot inflation, for example. Some Biden and Trump policies such as pandemic relief packages also likely played a role, as might have so-called greedflation.

Again and again,

There would have been inflation in the USA after Covid period! Supply chain issues and the pandemic were to blame.

But, Biden made it worse than it had to be by passing bills that pumped hundreds of billion DOLLARS into the economy that were printed out of thin air. That devalues the existing dollars in the economy and thus worsened inflation!!! Simple economics.

I remember Trump insisting on signing the checks.

Not that simple.

Trump had the Cares act in 2020 that dealt with the Covid shut downs and then in 2021 Biden has the American rescue plan which was a continuation of that. Both were needed to keep economy going.

After that the massive. Infrastructure bill that was signed by Biden for 1.2 Trillion ( 500 billion as to go into investments for the future) and the 800 billion IRA by Biden that was essentially a green energy bill did. It did not to be SPENT!!!!! That is 2 Trillion, TRILLION printed out of thin air. So yeah, the spending on these 2 bills ramped up inflation so much higher than it should have been, period.

Yes, I guess the country could have waited another two decades for that passage. After all Congress had been trying to pass an infrastructure bill since the 90's. Who needs clean water, safe roads, safe bridges, reliable energy, climate reducing methods, and high band internet for rural areas. Nah, just wait another two to three decades. NBD

Wrong timing. You don’t need to spend 1.2 trillion in the middle of a pandemic and when inflation is through the roof.


Hey, I want to buy a retirement house right now, but I got a kid in college now. When he graduates in 2 years, the. I’ll buy that house when the time so right.

So yeah, infrastructure is needed, but not in the middle of a pandemic recovery and raging inflation.

Oh, and you are never buying that retirement house. Never! There will never be the right time for you. Why? Because there will always be another reason. Maybe the kid wants to attend grad or professional school. Not the right time for that retirement home. The market dipped too far down or retirement portfolio not high enough. Not the right time for that retirement home. Interest rates are too high. Not the right time for that retirement home. Timing does not always get better just because you push the problems until another day.
