Inflation surges 7% in December, highest rate in 40 years

Please refer to the last sentence in #843. It's in plain English and pretty clear.

Yes very clear, you cannot defend your position or support refusing to admit when wrong, Got it

This thread is about inflation and you want to talk about 2020 pandemic results. This thread recognizes the failure of Biden to generate economic policies that actually helped the American people touting wage gains eaten up by 7% inflation rates and no policies that actually generated the numbers you claim Biden generated There is a difference between liberal and conservative economic policies on display today in your state vs all the red states, you cannot seem to accept that. Your irrational hysteria on Covid has led to the disaster we have in the WH now and you refuse to recognize that

Your comment that is pretty clear, Say nothing or post nothing negative about Biden regardless of reality

I will have these exchanges with people actually interested in the topic on not the ranters who have little else to contribute other than BIDEN SUCKS.
 
 
You notice He isn't taking everything under consideration. for one thing the northern Border opened in late Oct early Nov. and the Canadians came over here big time and bought things they have been waiting for
You can see it in places like Buffalo, Detroit, Niagara Falls
and the people from Canada that have Condos and Houses in Fla that haven't been able to come down here for a year are now here and they are spending a lot of money
this isn't an excuse but it does play a part in the drain on supply and driving costs up
in 2019 Canadians spent over 23 Billion dollars and that stopped for over a year and when they could come over here again they spent big bucks
as I said that isn't the reason for all this inflation but it does have an effect on it
Have a nice day
 
come on now YOU KNOW ALL the inflation in the world is Biden's fault and it effects the US inflation rate Just ask Con
he will tell you
BIDEN DID IT
Have a nice day
 
as you can see most people on here feel the same way talking to Con.He just can't see it
Yes it is like talking to a wall in fact you probably would get a more intelligent response if you did talk to a wall
Have a nice day
 
Remember the fable about arguing with a donkey.

Some people here pretend that they are engaging in a serious discussion/debate but they are not. For a serious discussion, both sides must accept common facts. The facts about inflation and it being global is surely evidence that it has nothing to do with American policy but some ignore that and won't express why they don't agree. Just throwing out 'it's because of Biden liberal policies,' answers nothing. Likewise, when all presidents get rated on whatever is going on in their term(s), fair or not, but one poster claims one particular president should only be rated on his good years, the discussion is no longer (if it ever was) serious.
 
Yep, there is a reason the Democrat Party mascot is a donkey. Some people supporting that donkey are incapable of explaining why or admitting when wrong. Donkeys always seem to make excuses and place blame vs accepting responsibility. this thread is an example of arguing with donkeys. 7% inflation caused by massive gov't spending that have done nothing to boost supply or competition, both issues the donkeys don't understand.

Global inflation is always an excuse by the left ignoring that global inflation has the same cause overseas as here, too much gov't involvement in the economy Our Private sector economy recovers a lot quicker with incentive that foreign governments because they are too dependent on gov't spending which causes the problem in the first place. Biden and other donkeys cannot grasp that reality There was no need or justification for the American rescue act and massive infrastructure spending in 2021 for all that did was fan the flames of inflation, throwing cheap money into the economy without increasing supply

Donkeys need to wake up
 
'Make excuses and place blame vs accepting responsibility,' hmmm? You mean like the excuse that Trump's economy in his last year doesn't count? Got it.

Our Private sector economy recovers a lot quicker with incentive that foreign governments because they are too dependent on gov't spending which causes the problem in the first place
While government spending is a large part of the Nordic economy (it's about 1/3 in the U.S.) France, Germany, etc. all have large private sectors. Your excuse doesn't fly. Europe had low inflation and now it is higher. That can't be explained by they have too much gov't involvement in the economy or foreign governments because they are too dependent on gov't spending. Their government spending hasn't changed in 2021.
 
Todd was quoting a poll. That's called reporting news, which is distinctly different from what Fox does, spin -- as they are doing in your article, implying this is Chuck Todd's viewpoint.

I thought you said that you are only posting about inflation in this thread? I guess you are, until you are not.
 
Some people on here need to look in the mirror before they post
Just about EVERYTHING Con. says other people are doing he does and doesn't have a second thought about it
It is Okay for HIM to do something but not other people
Good luck with him
Have a nice day
 
1.6 is 60% higher than Trumps average of 1.0%.

I seem to remember 3 years of postings about how only results matter.
 
Do you make up information as you go along? I posted the link showing Govt spending as a percentage of GDP which you ignored. There is a loyalty to liberalism that is indefensible as you don't even try. Making excuses for your apparent dependence on Gov't is what you and most of the other donkeys do.

Yes, you indeed are statistics challenged as well as economically challenged, blaming Trump for the bipartisan economic shutdown which the donkeys claim was to stop the spread of the virus, you cannot seem to grasp that reality or the difference between economic results from policies and economic results from the pandemic. Such loyalty and diversion from reality and the thread topic

he directly refuted what you posted.

As you collect your monthly government check and use your government paid for healthcare
 
I was and continue to post about Biden's incompetence now being recognized by even other donkeys. Why do you continue to support Biden and regarding the thread topic, what policies did Biden implement to address the inflation results? His incompetence created the inflation results but sure bought votes
 

AS I pointed out and you ignored as you always do while never answering direct questions. the causes for inflation are increased demand and supply problems, the more products and services the less inflation as we saw during 2017-2019. Rising wages increased costs and gov't spending added fuel to the supply problem. To curb inflation you get rid of liberal economic policies of spending in the name of compassion and promote the private sector to increase competition, the more competition the more supply products and lower costs.

As for Europe, 5% inflation is lower than our inflation rate as is their economic growth and activities facing the same issues with liberalism there as here, more gov't spending and less competition and growing supplies
