Political Discussion
It's a result of the trillions of govt dollars you want spent on pet projects like climate, solar, wind, renewables, health care, college, and all the other "free" subsidies you constantly want. That's what is causing inflation. Constant whining for more free stuff. |
The Dems continue to try to gaslight the voters on the cause of inflation. Biden was warned by HIS own economists before he had the Democratic House pass bills that caused inflation to spike. And, he continues to spend more money by issuing EOs that are likely unconstitutional. Then, Biden has the cojones to say that inflation was 9% when he took office. Even the MSM fact checked him on that lie. Voters aren't buying his bull$hit. |
If we don't spend money dealing with climate, then cities like Miami and Houston will just b under water and cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix won't have any water. What is it worth to our GDP to make sure these cities are viable in a hundred years? Re: solar/wind/renewables - see above. Re: healthcare - I guess you just want people dying in the streets? re: College: people are investing in themselves to better their condition and opportunity. The people who are getting debt relief have more than paid back their financial debt, just not the exorbinent interest. Do you complain about the "free" subsidies that farmers, corporations and real estate developer receive? The defense contractors? The beltway bandits? No? Because what THEY get in subsidies is FAR more substantial. |
If Biden's policies had caused the inflation, then the US inflation would be far worse than anywhere else in the world. It isn't. Ergo...? |
I don't understand why democrats can't understand that it is not the current rate of inflation that is the concern but the accumulated inflation over the last three years. In 2023, the average rate of inflation was 4.1%. In 2022, the average rate of inflation was 8.0%. In 2021, the average rate of inflation was 4.7%. In 2020, the average rate of inflation in the United States in 2020 was 1.23%, which was a 0.58% decline from 2019. Between January 2020 and January 2024, consumer price inflation rose 19.6%. Did anyone's salary go up 19.6 % to compensate for inflation? I don't think so. The Biden economy will be remembered for inflation and the biggest wealth transfer in history from the middle class to the rich. Boomers are also to blame, they hold most of the nations wealth and have completely screwed it up for the younger generations. They think things are going well, they’re not. The Boomer democrats who get their news from the View and CNN are the least informed crowd. |
Inflation is happening worldwide because that is what happens when the global economy comes to a stand still. Please explain how a president rebounds an economy without inflation? |
They can’t. Trump would have had inflation too, probably worse because of the tariffs he likes so much. |
Exactly. |
| Trump willl RE-OPEN EVERY RED LOBSTER THAT CLOSED DOWN. WE WILL GIVE THEM THE MONEY THEY NEED |
|
You know who should bail out Red Lobster? The investors in the hedge fund that bought Red Lobster, sold all of the land and buildings where the restaurants were, and then leased everything back to the restaurants with ever-increasing rents. |
Blackrock, by any chance? |
