[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can any State with at least half black and young voters combined ever vote R? [/quote]

Simple.

Young voters can’t afford a home, costs are crazy expensive for groceries, gas, rent. [b]The reckless spending by Biden has made inflation much worse that it should have been[/b].  And yes, inflation is still 3% now, but that does not mean prices are going down. They are just increasing at a slower rate,  but the 9-10 % rate of the previous 2 years  is still baked into the current costs.

Also, if you are black, what has Biden/Harris done for you?  Also as we get more migrants, they are moving into low wage jobs like construction where higher paid blacks are getting pushed out…

The bolded is simply false. If it were the case, the inflation in the US would be worse than everywhere else. Instead, inflation in the US has actually been better than everywhere but Japan. Please show where any of Biden's bills have "caused" inflation, or made inflation worse. I'll wait here.[/quote]

Inflation mess not avoidable here, but should have been even less than it was.

One such example is the IRA. The Inflation Reduction Act simple added gas to the fire of inflation.

How?

This act costs 800 billion.  This is unfounded money that was just PRINTED.   The classic definition of in inflation is that the dollar becomes less valuable to buy food and services, so you need to spend more money for the same items as prices increase.  When you add 800 billion dollars to the economy, then every existing dollar out there reformed less valuable and thus prices rise.

The IRA spent hundreds of billions for green energy projects that will take years to complete. And the component about hiring IRS agents to collect more revenue will take years to recoup any of the costs.

So in the immediate term when inflation was at its peak, adding 800 billion in printed money is like adding fuel to the fire.  This then causes the fed to raise interest rates higher to try to slow things down.  It’s not Biden/Harris that did a damn thing to cool inflation. It was the Fed and raising interest rates.  If Biden/Harris did not spend all this extra money, the Fed would not have to jack up rates as high as he did.
