Do you believe

You don’t understand HOW they account for inflation.

The same way they always have...if you did not whine about it under the previous Admin you just come off as a partisan drone when you whine about it under this one.

Pointing out obvious fraud =/= whining. You're still a Libertarian?

No. Here’s why: “The third-quarter GDP increase was driven almost entirely by a surge in exports, which add to GDP calculations, and a steep decline in imports, which detract from GDP. The trade dynamic shifted rapidly from the first and second quarters, when surging imports and declining exports turned GDP growth negative despite strong activity elsewhere in the economy.”

Another relevant factor that left-wing media sources will not be presenting:

“Gross private domestic investment, a catchall category for money spent on things meant to grow the economy, fell 8.5 percent in the third quarter. The decline came as spending on structures sank 15.3 percent and spending on homes plunged 26.4 percent on the quarter.”

“Final sales to private domestic purchasers, which measures how much American households and firms bought from U.S. firms, also rose just 0.1 percent on the quarter.”

US growth rebounds in third quarter, but shows warnings signs

U.S. economic growth rebounded during the third quarter after six months of steady declines, according to data released Thursday by the Commerce Department. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew a…

Total picture gives economists reason to remain “fearful” but a better word is concerned. Promoting fear significantly increases panic buying and pays off for sectors looking to make profits from public fear mongering. Governmental transparency without half-truths is the only way forward.

When leftists and progressives are interviewed they continue to back their severely corruptive horse. Motives include saving face or being too dumbed down by their overlords, including overtly biased and non-credible media lie sellers. The marketers of falsehoods are solely fixated on winning elections at all costs. Corruptive media heads need a good house cleaning which will
create an opening for honest reporting.

Corrupt media sources will go under when a large enough majority of the populace demands it. Independent voters have the majority over Dems and Reps and need to unite with conservatives on matters of great importance to our country, before we’re too far left. There is still time to repair the damage done by Biden’s handlers aka Obama/Susan Rice.

Independents, right-leaning moderates, and conservatives outnumber the Democrats by a split of around 70/30 who do not support Biden’s totalitarian government. When there’s a will there’s a way.

Independents have been infiltrated by wolves in sheep's clothing. Many democrats on this board (Golfing Gator is one) who claims to be independent in order to avoid responsibility for the dumpster fire that is currently burning in DC.

Real life tells us that the cost of diesel fuel is so high that independent truckers are out of business and fuel supplies are low. Home heating oil will be rationed and Americans will suffer this winter.

I paid $1.69 for a loaf of Albertson's cheapest store brand today. Anything else would be much higher. And the loaves are shorter and the bread sliced thinner and it isn't as wide/tall a square as it used to be. Six slices had sides touching in our toaster oven before inflation--now there are spaces between the slices.

Without actually calculating, I used to just instinctively know what a store cart full of groceries was going to cost me--I would rarely miss the total by more than $20. This afternoon the groceries bought easily cost $100 more than they would have before inflation.

Saw two tweets today from people saying they are truckers and their areas are out of diesel and sellers couldn't say when they would get more. That is one of the most dangerous red flags we've seen yet. No diesel and the supply chain completely collapses. There will be massive shortages and prices for what products will be for sale will be through the roof.

Trains run on diesel too.

Yep, trucks, trains, most commercial transport ships mix diesel with heavy fuel oil. . .
A diesel shortage could bring our economy crashing down more than most common things we use.

Indeed. Considering the decade’s long split in political party percentages, with Republicans and Democrats hovering around the same percentage split at 33%, that leaves another 34% of a mixed bag. You’ve referenced the left side of that “catch all” category that almost on every issue, almost every time, supports the left ideology.

This piece of the left equation is important: the loud mouth section is so far left they’ve reduced their own numbers, but nothing reported by left suppporting pollsters. It will shock me if left moderates ever call out their loudmouth section publicly because most moderates (could be said for most left and right moderates) are quiet mice, even collectively. They will be speaking at the poles, however, and hopefully it will be an honest election, monitored with numerous observers in order to be honest which is sadly the case.

The fact we use voting machines is a real crime that will continue, however, it is very easy to fix the voting machine way before it lands at any precinct and during election counting as in, “whoops, another software glitch”.

As you mentioned, posters can self-label however they want and most do it in an honest fashion, but with exceptions. When words and actions consistently support the left that currently means supporting far-left progressive policies assuming they vote Dem. When words and actions support Republicans and they vote Rep they are voting for conservative values. The country is in dire need to move the political pendulum back to the right, significantly to the right, and we can thank the far left for waking up the silent middle
