1. An amazing job, the Democrats have done with the economy....
No...you don't really think the dunce Biden came up with any of the policies, do you????
It's Democrat policy, and we can all see the result.


2.The inflation rate in Trump's last year....1.4%

US Inflation Rate by Year: 1929-2023

The U.S. inflation rate by year is the percentage of change in prices from one year to the next. It responds to business cycle phases and interest rates.

3. The reported inflation rate is 8.3-8.6%
But you know that Democrats lie about everything......it's at least 50% higher.




4. Wondering how easily anyone can afford it, there is this joke...

A Jewish man gets hit by a car...​

in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital the paramedic asks "are you comfortable?"
the Jewish man shrugs. "I make a living."




5....and there is this story of guys who could afford it no sweat...
Here's "rich."

“There's a great story about Rodgers and Hammerstein in London in ... “They walked through Berkeley Square on their way to lunch in some swank restaurant in Mayfair. They passed this Rolls-Royce dealer and there were two identical white ...Rolls-Royces in the window.
A couple of hours later, as they strolled back through the square, they went into the showroom for a better look. They decided to buy the two Rolls. Hammerstein reached into his pocket for his checkbook, but Rodgers said, 'No, no, let me get these. You got lunch."
Michael Sloan, "The Equilizer," p.471-2

That's rich.

  1. Trillions and trillions and trillions in stimulus are pumped into the economy since 2009
  2. An extra $2T trillion poured into the system to save short term credit markets in 2019
  3. We ALL go all those years waiting for all this stimulus to create MASSIVE inflation
  4. COVID hits and the economy falls into complete structural disarray
  5. COVID subsides
  6. Demand explodes globally coming out of the COVID lockdowns
  7. Supply chains immediately collapse worldwide
  8. Inflation hits and quickly compounds on itself with supply chains paralyzed
  9. The Fed waits far too long (maybe 6 to 8 months) to gradually control the inflation
Now, back our regularly scheduled ignorant, hyper-partisan, one-sided talking points.

For some perspective: What was the income tax rate in US history?

In 1944, the top rate peaked at 94 percent on taxable income over $200,000 ($2.5 million in today's dollars)

Earned income was subject to maximum marginal rates of 60 percent in 1971 and 50 percent from 1972 through 1981. Includes surcharge of 7.5 percent in 1968, 10 percent in 1969, and 2.6 percent in 1970.

Close..

  1. Trillions and trillions and trillions in stimulus are pumped into the economy from 2009 - 2014... by the Obama administration. Meanwhile over 2,000,000 people lost their homes while the companies that owned their mortgages were bailed out 100%, including projected profits. Which is why in 2009, numerous investment bank executives got record bonuses.
  2. An extra $2T trillion poured into the system to save short term credit markets in 2019 - uh... that was 2020.
  3. We ALL go all those years waiting for all this stimulus to create MASSIVE inflation
  4. COVID hits and the economy falls into complete structural disarray -- primarily due to the fact America depends heavily on foreign raw materials and critical goods. So the investor class can make more $$.
  5. COVID subsides - uh... you didn't mention the Biden admin giving away $3 trillion in free money during a supply crises.
  6. Demand explodes globally coming out of the COVID lockdowns - yeah... because of the free Covid giveaways.
  7. Supply chains immediately collapse worldwide - because of run on goods because free money was everywhere, and people didn't even have to pay their rent.
  8. Inflation hits and quickly compounds on itself with supply chains paralyzed -- the supply chain is not as much of a problem now, the problem now is shortages of raw materials and critical goods, that again, we depend on China/India/Pakistan/Korea etc. They are taking care of themselves first.
  9. The Fed waits far too long (maybe 6 to 8 months) to gradually control the inflation
 

Poll: Nearly 60% of U.S. Manufacturers See Inflation Leading to Recession​


Almost six in ten American manufacturers believe ongoing inflation will lead to a recession in the United States, a new survey from the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) finds.

Inflation under President Joe Biden soared to 8.6 percent last month — the highest in 41 years — and American manufacturers are expressing a gloomy outlook over the next year for the United States economy.

In the latest NAM survey, more than 59 percent of American manufacturers said they believe inflation is likely to spur a recession in the United States. About 52 percent said they do not believe the Federal Reserve will be able to avert a recession.
Likewise, American manufacturers expect raw material costs to rise 6.9 percent and prices for their products to go up 5.9 percent over the next year. About 75 percent said inflation was worse today than it was six months ago and more than 53 percent suggested the higher prices are making it harder for them to remain competitive and profitable.

On United States–China free trade, more than 88 percent of American manufacturers said it is important for the federal government to support domestic manufacturing — including almost six in ten manufacturers who called such an effort “very important.”
