Biden Refuses To Accept Responsibility For High Inflation

[Ray From Cleveland]

You note the Republicans won't do it but still carry their water for them by claiming they are more likely to do it.

Make up your mind.

I don't know if the Republicans will do it or not. What should I do, vote for Democrats who I know without a doubt will not do it, but may even add more bureaucracies or expand the ones we got like the IRS?

You don't think these things through very well, do you?

Fuck biden and his friends in china.

Almost everything this Administration is doing is an outright attack on the general welfare of the United States and her citizens, e.g.:

• Flooding the United States with millions upon millions of poverty-stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled, and criminal foreign nationals;
• Allowing deadly drugs to pour across our border which is killing our nation's youth;
• Hollowing out our military’s seasoned and well-trained officers, troops, seamen and pilots by discharging them for not being injected with an ineffective and experimental “vaccine”;
• Depleting our militaries' weapons of defense by transferring them into the hands of foreign nationals;
• Emptying out our strategic oil reserve which is specifically intended for use in a national emergency such as war;
• Shutting down our nation’s ability to produce cheap fuel needed for our nation’s manufacturing competitiveness;
• Imposing unrealistic regulations upon our nation’s businesses and industries which in turn is destroying our manufacturing capabilities and global competitiveness;
• Flooding our country with a worthless paper currency causing consumer goods to double and even triple in price;
• Working to transfer our nation’s technology to hostile foreign countries . . . etc., and etc, ...

Indeed! And the list goes on and on and provides sufficient evidence to conclude this Administration and the Democrat Party Leadership is engaged in traitorous policies, and intentionally working to bring the United States to its knees.

JWK

I never thought I would live to see the day when American Citizens would stand idle and allow the United States to be invaded by millions upon millions of foreign nationals without a shot being fired.

No, I'm not pushing the Democrats. They are as bad. What you should do is no longer vote for a politician that tells you they will do something and then doesn't.

You don't think these things through very well, do you?

Very well.

Yes, the Right are, due to the amount of shit Lefties threw at Trump over the years. So they're just doing the same to Biden as the idiots on the Left did to Trump, but the Left don't like it. Strange times we live in.

So no comment on the actual cause of inflation, excess demand over supply caused by the pandemic. Run along pal.

More Communist propaganda. Of course people are living off of something, and if they're not working, where are they getting their money from? The Communists main goal is to get as many foreigners in this country as possible, so by paying people to stay home, they make the excuse that we need more foreigners.

114 billion a year is hardly a huge amount of money? That is our expense for food stamps every year. And no, we didn't always provide federal unemployment, we only used it when unemployment is high during a bad economy and state unemployment ran out for a lot of people. But never did we provide federal unemployment while people were also collecting state unemployment until we got hit with covid, and that was to help keep the economy going. But that wasn't the case with Dementia. Businesses were opening up and looking for workers when he signed the bill in March of 2021.

There you go again calling the good guys commies. I didn't find any thing in that commie websight that proves us 'good guys' as commie. Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm questioning the "thinker" part...

So, you are agreeing that I am independent?

 

[Independentthinker]

It's not a matter of what I think, it's a matter of policy causes and effects.

But since you asked, I do think we did fine overall.

People like to concentrate on individual economic factors that stick out but when considering possible unemployment and contraction, we could have done a lot worse overall.

Inflation is coming down and if we can keep it going down without major disruption to GDP growth and record low employment then historically this becomes an American success story.

Tell that to the people who have lost their businesses, lost their jobs, can't afford their groceries or their rent.

To be clear it wasn’t about Covid. It was about F’ing up testing:

'I don't take responsibility at all': Trump deflects blame for coronavirus testing fumble

Trump has spent weeks downplaying the virus' outbreak.

www.politico.com

President Donald Trump on Friday deflected blame for his administration’s lagging ability to test Americans for the coronavirus outbreak, insisting instead — without offering evidence — that fault lies with his predecessor, Barack Obama.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump said defiantly, pointing to an unspecified “set of circumstances” and “rules, regulations and specifications from a different time.”

Ummmmmmmmmm, did we forget that Trump got operation warp speed to get the vaccines quicker? Did we forget that democrats told all Americans not to get the Trump vaccine because it was rushed?

 

[Dagosa]

So, you're saying that even though Biden is responsible for inflation, he should not take responsibility for it because others didn't take responsibility for things in the past.

Yup……Biden is God now, the second coming. Oh, the third coming. Trump was the second.

 

[Independentthinker]

Not true.

True. Every policy democrats do is pro-labor/anti-business, pro green and anti energies - all of which make things more expensive.

Corporate profits hit record high in third quarter amid 40-year-high inflation

Corporate profits in the nonfinancial sector hit a record high of $2.08 trillion in the third quarter even as 40-year-high inflation continues to squeeze American consumers. Profits adjusted for in…

blind?
its record profits.

Blind? They have record profits many times. You're so blind you can't see that the profits they had years ago were record profits at the time.

You're missing a lot. Their agenda is nearly identical to theirs with few exceptions.

Inflation is a global problem brought on by the pandemic supply


Inflation is a global problem brought on by pandemic supply chain.

So explain to all of us how Biden is responsible for glibal inflation?

Wait a minute, I thought Biden said he would get the pandemic behind us. Are you saying he lied and didn't? Democrat policies which led Russia to invade Ukraine, are pro-labor and anti-business, and pro green and anti- energy all make things more expensive.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

No, I'm not pushing the Democrats. They are as bad. What you should do is no longer vote for a politician that tells you they will do something and then doesn't.




Very well.

No politician ever said they would go after bureaucracies. That's why I said it's the one thing I was disappointed at Trump and Republicans about. That's besides the fact I'm not a one issue voter.

 

[Independentthinker]

Democrat policies have not made inflation worse. Republicans pumped trillions of dollars into the economy through massive tax cuts to the rich even when the economy was healthy.

LOL. So, you're saying that the tax cuts helped our economy, which led to more employment, which led to more taxes being paid by both businesses and their employees was bad?

 

[Independentthinker]

Trump is the one who agreed to the surrender document. He allowed the Taliban to continue to fight and take over land while withdrawing US troops. Trump did nothing to ensure the Taliban kept their side of the bargain.

Ummmmmmmmmm, what is it with you election deniers? Biden won the 2020 election and has been president during the time Biden let the Taliban take over Afghanistan.

No politician ever said they would go after bureaucracies. That's why I said it's the one thing I was disappointed at Trump and Republicans about. That's besides the fact I'm not a one issue voter.

How did they do at addressing the debt under Trump?

 

[The5thHorseman]

So, you are agreeing that I am independent?

No......I was clearly being sarcastic.

You're a former 2 time Scrub voter feigning repentance...

For some reason all of you who do this seem to think it's just a name change.

 

[Independentthinker]

Companies are making more money than they have in a long time. In some instances, decades. You are the only one covering things up.

Companies have made record profits during the last 250 years and more. Of course the most recent ones are record profits. That is how it is supposed to work. Hopefully you make more profit than you did the year before and the year before and the year before. It's called capitalism. By the way, those record profits pay investors returns in several different ways, some of which are in 401K's for the average Joes and Janes. And, the better companies do, the more employees they hire. But, socialists don't understand that.

The federal government doesn't pay for our police you uninformed voter, it's paid for by local taxpayers.

What to cut? How about the 87,000 new IRS workers Dementia wanted to hire? How about the hundreds of billions towards something we have absolutely no control over like climate change? How about the millions of dollars they are going to spend on a Mooochelle Obama trail, a museum for LGBQRST people, a wax museum for black people? 6 billion to pay the utility bills of low income likely Democrat voters. Nearly 2 billion to maintain federal buildings we don't use instead of selling them. $200,000 for Starbucks espresso machines for the defense department. $168 million to help illegals avoid deportation for breaking our laws, and not one dime towards border security. 2 million dollars to inject cocaine in beagle puppies, and another one million to watch mice get drunk. $700,000 to study the romance between parrots.

Rand Paul’s ‘Festivus Report’ airs $482 billion worth of federal waste grievances

Sen. Rand Paul is airing his grievances in his 2022 Festivus Report, which outlines nearly a half-trillion dollars worth of wasteful federal spending.

www.foxnews.com

You are the one who is uninformed. Start with the FBI and DEA among others. In addition, many communities receive money which can be used for local law enforcement.

To start with, there are no 87,000 IRS employees. Some of these employees will replace workers who will retire. In addition, the IRS needs some extra employees to answer the phones and provide taxpayers with information. Workers are required to process returns so they can reduce the backlog of returns. In addition, auditors are needed to ensure that the rich are obeying the tax laws. The CBO estimates that reversing the hiring of IRS employees will increase the deficit by $114 billion. There are no hundreds of billions in climate change spending. There is nothing wrong with increasing the power generated through clean energy. I support $6 billion to help low income people pay their utility bills. That is not waste. The rest of what you suggest is chump change. I can see what you want to do. You want to make us believe that it is painless. Why haven't Republicans produced their list if it is so easy?

Rand Paul's list is not on his website. I suspect he is padding the list with questionable claims.
