Inflation…17%

[Harpy Eagle]

You just said the GOP would acknowledge there is an issue at the border. How is that not better?

Talk is meaningless. The GOP has been talking about the problem at the border my whole adult life but never actually do anything to fix it.

And they will not as they are just as beholden to big business as the Dems.

Higher gas prices lift Fed's preferred inflation gauge but underlying price pressures remain mild

An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Federal Reserve rose in August, boosted mainly by higher gas prices.

How Much Did Supply Constraints Boost U.S. Inflation? - Liberty Street Economics

What factors are behind the recent inflation surge has been a huge topic of debate amongst academics and policymakers. We know that pandemic-related supply constraints such as labor shortages and supply chain bottlenecks have been key factors pushing inflation higher. These bottlenecks started...

Biden has righted the ship. OPEC is driving oil prices higher world wide even with US producing the most oil and energy ever in history as a net exporter. Home prices are high due to housing shortages.

The answer is more investment in home building and alternative energy production.

Home prices are high due to housing shortages.

And 5 million illegal aliens that Biden invited in.

Libtards are well known for fighting new construction.
Why will investing in more expensive, less reliable energy result in lower prices?

We are talking apples and oranges. I d like them at 2017 numbers with politicians acknowledging there is a problem versus what we have now where Biden and the Squad say there is no problem. Why is that so hard for you to understand?!

What is happening now would have happened in 2017 if not for Trump.

Your graph shows a pretty huge jump between 2017 and 2019.

There is no way to know what would have happened if not for COVID.

There has been a housing shortage for a couple decades.

You know what helps a shortage?
Letting 3 million illegals move in every year.

I guess I am lucky in that I am not competing for the same housing as they are.

They have? First time I heard anyone say anything was Trump in 2015?

You don't have to compete for the same housing for them to cause an increase in prices.

In MA there is a massive shortage of starter homes. If I were to put my house on the market today, it would sell today at likely 20% over asking.

Are you joking? The GOP talks about illegal every election cycle.

There is a shortage of those everywhere because builders have stopped making them in any significant numbers.

Almost all the new houses being built around here are in the 340s at a bare minimum.

Never heard McCain or Romney talk about it? Is there a link please

What is a “340”?

$340,000....you truly did not know that?

All comments from Romney...

Amnesty is a magnet. ... Programs that have said that if people who come here illegally are going to get to stay illegally for the rest of their life, that's going to only encourage more people to come here illegally.

...


We've got to have a fence, or the technologically approved system to make sure we know who's coming into the country, No. 1. No. 2, we ought to have enough agents to secure that fence and to make sure that people coming over are caught.

...


I believe that each state has the duty — and the right — to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities.

You don’t understand basic economics. You don’t understand simple logic. You don’t know the difference between men and women. Why would I waste my time on you, 85?

You’re a waste of space.

Hmm, no policy suggestions or solutions. Because you don't have any. Your crybabying doesn't ever fool anyone.

War of Fossil Fuels
Sending money to Ukraine

Fascinating. Can we see your math? Sounds like another white nationalist pile of crap.

Why would any Intelligent person put their house up for sale at 20% below market value?
Dear Lord, If you know the house would sale for 20% over asking price, then ASK that price.

You're trying to make a political point, but you failed again.
