Democrats literally being inflated out of office.....Grocery and Gas trump all other issues by a mile.

[Ray From Cleveland]

Gas is all on the dems, but the food prices have an isty bitsy to do with the conservative war on brown people named Jesus, Julio, and Juan. We have a worker problem, legal or otherwise, dogging the food processing chain.

Dementia has been the President for nearly a year and a half, all the while opening up the southern border and food prices began to increase. Republicans have zero ability to control this so it has nothing to do with cheap labor. For crying out loud, one of the very first things he did after sneaking into the White House was to immediately stop the wall construction. And watch at the end of the month what happens with food prices when Title 42 ends which the BP predicts will make the border even more unmanageable. The price of food will continue to increase.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

OK so here's the question Mr Republican candidate: If democrats are responsible somehow for inflation it should be easy to explain how republicans will bring prices down other than the usual means of causing a deep recession.

Economists are predicting a recession with or without the Republicans in charge. They claim there is simply no way around it.

The Republicans can only sweep Congress but all bills coming from Congress have to be signed by the President, so they only have so much power over inflation.

There has never been a direct connection between American fossil fuel regulation and world-wide oil supply but it does not stop you people from continuing to make the claim. Gutting regulations will allow petroleum companies to perhaps make greater profits but as we have seen in every other industry larger profits are never followed with lower prices to consumers.

Well...that's not what he's talking about per se. There is an easily made connection between shipping cost and product cost however.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Remove regulations on gas and oil would be a nice first step.

Really?
Who is going to do that?
The president?

You will be told that there is no problem. You will be told that you're panicking unnecessarily and that you are being fooled and misinformed. You will also be told by the cashier at the grocery store on that very same day that your debit card was just rejected your total was too high. Now you know damn well that you just did this identical order a few weeks ago with no problem...so what exactly is the problem? Well it is many fold and many faceted. Start with the devaluation of the dollar due to poor money policy. It just doesn't do what it used to do, doesn't buy what it used to buy. Add to that the increased prices of transportation due to hydrocarbon restrictions ( which are voluntary btw not for you and me but for the people making the restrictions ) and the supply and demand imbalances caused by the pandemic and you have the prefect recipe for RUNAWAY inflation...annnnnnd it's running away even though lefty wants to deny it. Lefty cannot deny that grocery prices have spiked 9% in the last 12 months and that is runaway by anyone's standard.

Will Roe V Wade upstage this? Maybe for a few weeks but that's all. In the mean time both pro-life and pro-choice folks still have to go the gas station and still have to do food shopping. Have you seen the faces of the folks in the grocery store these days. Reaching for a piece of steak and then disgustedly throwing it back? Tentatively reaching for this or that and then quickly pulling out the calculator then checking their wallets? Oh yeah...it's coming.

Inflation is a huge problem intentionally brought on by Biden and his last ever democrat controlled Congress.

No, honey boo boo. We have literally millions of your the Js newly and illegally crossing the border thanks to Globalists Flying Monkeys known as democrats.

Inflation is caused by democrats spending new TRILLIONS!!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

People under lockdown reduced demand and prices fell. That is true. Nonetheless, you seem to be missing the big lesson here--industries where you are seeing inflation the worst are the same businesses that are being more aggressive with pricing--gas stations and grocery stores. Restaurants that need the same food chain are not pricing as aggressively and plastics that use the same petroleum are not as well.

So, you blame the US government for private companies raising global prices?
Wow, I didn't think Biden was such a badass.

Biden told them to raise their price?

I blame our government for inflation. It's not a hard concept.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Biden told them to raise their price?

Biden added new trillions into the economy, raising the price of everything.

WTF?
When did the government, ANY government of the world, tell private companies to raise their prices?

 

[Smokin' OP]

Biden added new trillions into the economy, raising the price of everything.

So, that raised the price of everything in the world?

The economy creates goods and services. The government prints the money that's suppose to keep pace with those goods and services.

When government prints trillions with no new value created in the economy, you get inflation

So, Biden convinced the leaders of the entire world to print trillions of $$$ pump that into their economies too?

And that is the issue. Start by making us energy independent again. But we listen to environmental and false science bullshit artists who have become enriched by all of this over the decades while the general population currently suffers.

Biden and the Prog globalist factions shut down much of the West and turned anyone disagreeing with them into a potential terrorist and criminal. That has affected the world. They are currently muddying up the supply chain and have returned the oil industry back to OPEC and their world designs as to force us faster into the electrical vehicles and green movements as to enrich the real privileged. And more guns have been purchased.

The duopoly runs the central government. The President is a minor figure in the mix.

We always get recessions when Republicans are in charge

No.

We're talking about American products priced in US dollars $$$
