Drag Queens...
Drag Queens...Hunter Biden's laptop. Impeaching Biden and Mayorkas. Investigating the balloons. Rihanna's Satanic halftime show. Doctor Fauci.
Duh.
Drag Queens...
So far, the market is embracing the news.And gas stoves. Don't forget about gas stoves.
Defense has been cut for years. What else do you have?What do the Republicans have on the table to reduce spending? Going to cut defense?
Under Obama, yes. It's gone up every year since.Defense has been cut for years.

Stock market news today: Stocks close mixed after CPI shows inflation picked up
U.S. stocks moved back and forth in volatile trading Tuesday as Wall Street weighed the implications of hotter-than-expected January inflation data on the path forward for interest rates.finance.yahoo.com
Why lie? I've posted the data.Under Obama, yes. It's gone up every year since.
You know what they say about statistics.Defense has been cut for years. What else do you have?
How else do you encourage people to work? You have to take away the purchasing power they have already worked for so they don’t slack off.because used cars already jumped.. So it's a reduction in the rate of increase.
That's inflation, everything goes up, some come back down some -others just explode in price.
when it finally ends (soft landing or not) you wind up with much less purchasing power.
Fixed income are getting hammered, but even wage earners are falling back,, and I don see an end anytime soon
Why would you look at total dollars? It's quite clear what's causing the deficit to balloon. And it's not defense spending.You know what they say about statistics.
U.S. Military Spending/Defense Budget | Historical Chart & Data
Military expenditures data from SIPRI are derived from the NATO definition, which includes all current and capital expenditures on the armed forces, including peacekeeping forces; defense ministries and other government agencies engaged in defense projects; paramilitary forces, if these are...www.macrotrends.net

So as a percentage of GDP, it's gone down. By total dollars, up, up, and up!
The Fed is working to carefully slow the economy without falling into recession. It is generally working, but remains a dangerous enterprise. The employment news of earlier this month might has sounded good to most of us, but not the Fed as a full employment economy is inflationary by design.8 Fed hikes and inflation decreases from 6.5% in Dec to 6.4% in Jan. Not very good.
At least this should put pressure on team Biden to negotiate on lowering the deficit rather than add to inflationary pressure with even more government spending.
I don't see a plan to reduce inflationgood question

I'd like to see details too - maybe someone can find them ?
But I like that they're making points and Demcorats/Biden have failed horribly in 2 years on almost every front
And last but not leastAnd gas stoves. Don't forget about gas stoves.
If I make $200k a year and spend $150k, that's 75%.Why would you look at total dollars? It's quite clear what's driving the deficit. And it's not defense spending.
The root causes of the inflation was already in the economy before Biden was elected. There is a 6 to 12 month lag before it can be measured. The reverse is also true.Pathetic.
People are quibbling over a half a percent rise or fall from month to month and continue to ignore the continuing difference between now and when Biden was installed in the WH. In early Jan. 2021, inflation was a bit over 2%. Even with these latest numbers...and their "new method to compute US CPI"...inflation is still more than THREE TIMES AS HIGH. Food prices, energy prices...hell, prices for EVERYTHING...are still rising. Some at double digit rates.
So whoop-di-do! Inflation went up month over month by half a percent instead of going down half a percent as some propagandists expected. Big ****ing deal.
Man you conservatives really don't get economics.8 Fed hikes and inflation decreases from 6.5% in Dec to 6.4% in Jan. Not very good.
At least this should put pressure on team Biden to negotiate on lowering the deficit rather than add to inflationary pressure with even more government spending.
Also, that graph is TEN YEARS oldUnder Obama, yes. It's gone up every year since.
Every time the Dems have a major screw up the response is always to shift blame to the Republicans asking what they will do.What do the Republicans have on the table to reduce spending? Going to cut defense?
The last time the GOP got in charge they massively cut taxes instead of reducing the national debt. Why do they deserve power?Every time the Dems have a major screw up the response is always to shift blame to the Republicans asking what they will do.

When it comes to the current inflation fiasco the solution is to stop sending these Democrats to Congress.
Wrong.The root causes of the inflation was already in the economy before Biden was elected. There is a 6 to 12 month lag before it can be measured. The reverse is also true.
Show your work.Wrong.
The root causes of our current inflation began the day that Biden was installed in the WH.
Show your work.
That's not work, that's partisan politics with no supporting evidence.
