Bidenflation still out of control

I happen to agree with those people who feel that Mr. Biden is, well, dumb.

You apparently are impressed by his "double major." Good for you! I am not very smart, but I AM smart enough to never, ever gainsay someone with a different opinion.

It doesn't require a smart person to proclaim that his political enemy is dumb. Anyone can do that.

A double major is never easy. To top off a double major with a Juris Doctorate from Syracuse is evidence that he is quite intelligent.

I hope that you are right.

A whole lot of ordinary Americans are really hurting right now because of inflation.
 
I was sure that I was told this was transitory, and thus not worth worrying about?

Was I lied to? Didn't the fist bump with a murdering dictator solve this?

People all around the world are hurting right now because of inflation, so Biden doesn't seem any dumber than most other leaders.

I'm hurting too but Biden didn't do it. This is a worldwide situation, plus the war in Ukraine isn't helping things. Trump's ineffective response to Covid19 in 2020 plays into this because it set the stage for inflation to occur when it eased.
 
So we are the only nation with inflation, right?

I think that it's not that Biden caused inflation, it's that his ineffective response to coivd, and his inability to battle inflation, is why people are critical of him.
 
As I posted in another thread, the US economy, which Joe screwed up, heavily influenced the rest of the world.
So ya. It's all Joe.

I remember you guys in 2008 defending Bush because there was a worldwide recession, not just an American one. And in 2020 when covid hit; you said it wasn't Trump's fault, it was a global pandemic.

It didn't work then, why do you think it'll work now?

The Latest Inflation Report Is Even Worse Than It Looks​

Over the summer, President Biden declared, “Today, we received news that our economy had zero percent inflation in the month of July — zero percent.” What this meant was that prices were flat in July relative to June. In August, inflation ticked back up, but only modestly — at 0.1 percent.

A deeper look at the numbers in both months, however, showed that in order to have relatively flat inflation over those two months, it took a substantial drop in gas prices — 7.7 percent in July and 10.6 percent in August. Food prices rose significantly in both months, as did the cost of medical care and shelter. In the September report, gas prices were down 2.7 percent. With less help from gas prices, month-over-month inflation picked up to 0.4 percent overall in today’s report."


You know what that means?? more green energy spending, er uh I man another inflation reduction bil!!

It can't be out of control. It's just temporary.

It's important to remember that inflation -- or really any bad social or economic consequence -- can never, ever be the result of liberal policy making. There's always another reason.

Dude, people like you have been defending Trump and Bush with the same arguments for over a decade. We've seen your talking points before dude. No one is buying it.

Was it really all his work?

Biden Admits Plagiarism in School But Says It Was Not 'Malevolent' (Published 1987)

Or work from someone else that he bought? Or selling influence? (His more recent scam).

Where do you go to college, both with undergrad and graduate degrees?

BTW, If you claim to know so much about economics, then explain to us how Biden caused it and how it can be rectified. Certainly, you are capable of doing that with the monumental knowledge of economics that you believe you possess.

The federal government, whether it is being run by Democrats or Republicans, can do very little about the economy and inflation. In a free enterprise system, the economy is controlled by us, not the government.
99.5% of voters do not realize that. They want the government to stay out of the economy while, at the same time, they want the government to fix the economy when it's broken.

Stephen Collinson writes, "The House select committee investigating the US Capitol insurrection long ago dropped the notion of being a narrowly focused quest for the facts as members use their probe to try to defend democracy in its intensifying struggle with Donald Trump.

"The panel returns to the public eye, warning that the ex-President is a clear and present danger to free elections.

"But are the American people listening? Are they more concerned about the cost of French fries? Do the committee’s efforts to undermine Trump’s cadre of election denier candidates in 2022 and vow to ensure he never again tastes presidential power have any chance of success?

What does Collinson mean by that? He is asserting that voters are more concerned about inflation and the economy than they are about Trump.

The problem for the voters is -- because there is very little Congress can do about the economy and inflation -- there is a great deal voters can do about the political party responsible for Trump. They can vote that party out of office in November.

Trump attempted to overthrow our elected government. The Republican Party is responsible for Trump. He is the leader of the party, and the leading Republican for the Presidency in 2024. There are scores of Republican nominees running for federal and state positions on a platform of Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Thus the Republican Party is responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government and Trump's Big Lie which he and Republican lawmakers profess today. Free elections are the bulwark of a democracy. Hence, the Republican Party is assaulting our democracy.

Do we reward them with control of Congress in November?

Proof of the accuracy of this report is that Republican lawmakers and the forum's Republicans will say nothing.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Do you have a source for either article that aren't behind a paywall?

If you have a paywall problem, I'd suggest an Internet search engine.
This came up fine on my side, and I'm sure there are multiple sources of reportage for this.

That you have a paywall problem does not equate to 'it didn't happen'.
