Is it also a ridiculous ascertain that the rest of the worlds economies are causing inflation in America?

Did you even think about that before you posted it?

Lol, it's so crazy that a tiny US minimum wage increase caused the entire world to face an inflation crisis. If only we had listened to you!

The MARKET raised the minimum wage in my neck of the woods... Hell, QSR's can't even find enough workers at $15/hour..

Liberals: So, conservatives, our free-spending policies may have created the most severe inflationary period in over 40 years, but what are you going to do about it?

NatMorton: Look, I just made something up and pretended Liberals were saying it.

As, across the country, this seems to be their #1 talking point, I've yet to hear what they believe they could do to stem this problem that is affecting all nations across the world.

Indeed, when seen through this international lens, the United States is doing significantly better than most other countries.

So other than braying endlessly about this in every local, state and federal election, I'm waiting for some tangible, practical suggestions on how this can or should be addressed.

Your source link includes (chart) data showing inflation rates from late 2019 and early 2020, yet the article‘s title says 2022. For example: it shows the US inflation rate at 1.5% and 1.7%, which is far below (current) 2022 inflation rates.

At this point, it isnt OUR problem

It is YOURS

And come November, the voters will weigh in as to how important they feel it is

Why would we give you answers to your problems?

I dont remember anyone from the progressives/liberals/democrats trying to throw the GOP a lifeline during Trump's tenure

Let's say both the house and senate are under GQP control after November... What exactly do you think they will do change the economy?

It started when the entire world conspired to oust Trump from office and went from there.

It's pretty amusing (and dizzying) how quickly the GQP jumps from wanting a free economy to a command economy based on the latest stock market close...
 
Folks, if you can't agree Biden's policies helped fuel inflation, can you at least acknowledge his team botched the situation when they argued for months that the early signs we all saw represented only "temporary inflation?"

The same factors that caused the inflation in every other country on earth. Global supply of goods dropped radically due to a global pandemic. Your assertion that a modest minimum wage increase in the US did all this is unfounded and unsupported.

No, more like FED, BIDEN, FED, BIDEN, FED, BIDEN, FED, BIDEN, FED, BIDEN, FED, BIDEN, ...

Wow, it's totally amazing that a sitting US president's domestic policies can cause a global inflation crisis in every country on earth. What power!

Never said Biden caused global inflation. I said his policies made inflation here worse, and they did.

They don't work for him

Since energy is a large component of the inflationary pressures right now, should we return the ban on oil exports that was listed after 40 years? You know, the one the GQP and oil industry assured us we had to remove to open our energy markets to the global energy markets.
