Inflation down AGAIN

[Marener]

already addressed

You still haven’t answered my question.

You don’t address. You make excuses.

By the time Biden came into office, inflation was unavoidable. You can’t increase money supply by 50% without spiking inflation.

Pretending like Biden was solely responsible for inflation is incorrect, but politically very advantageous.

 

[WEATHER53]

CPI is what is used to measure inflation you idiot

Worse is the incorrect thread title is allowed to remain

 

[Lesh]

Take away Covid. Then do the money supply and why didn’t you answer my question?

Since January 2021, when Joe Biden came to office, there have been more than 10 million encounters - about 8 million came over the southwest land border with Mexico.

So if we see maybe 30% that equates to over 20mil coming in

Take away Covid?

There would never have the inflation you’re bitching about

So it’s not price gouging as Biden/Harris claims. LOL

Of course there would have been. Migrant crisis, two global conflicts, war on fossil fuels, nothing? lol

Theres definitely some opportunistic increasing in prices going on. About half of inflation seen on food items came from increasing profit margins. Companies can increase prices easier if everyone is doing it and they feel like consumers will put up with it.

Data supports this. Not that you care.

Conagra Brands, which makes Slim Jim, Reddi-wip, and Marie Callender's meals, posted a nearly 60% year-over-year profit increase so far this year.

I don’t like the word price gouging. It’s emotionally loaded. Not entirely inaccurate but I just think it’s not the way it should be used.

Inflation is complex and not always all that well understood. It comes from many places and many factors. Saying “Biden did it” is the weakest and laziest way to talk about it.

U.S. Inflation Reaches Lowest Point Since February 2021

Cooling inflation, solid hiring and healthy growth could erode former President Donald Trump’s perceived advantage on the economy as measured by public opinion polls.

Inflation dropped again
Gas prices are down
250,000 jobs created (180K is considered good)
GDP growth over 3%
Unemployment down again

The economy is doing well!

How does that make up the last 4 years of high prices that wiped out savings accounts and racked up literally a TRILLION dollars in credit card debt for the American people? Answer...It doesnt make up for at all.

 

[Aldo Raine]

This is one of the best assessmenmts about gas prices that I have read here.

You trump supporters should stop lying. The prices woud be the same, if not more, if Trump was president. Gas was cheap during the pandemic. Because nobody was driving.

Remember when oil companies were searching for places to store oil and actually paying them to store it?

How did inflation “wipe out savings” when the government was handing out all those checks?

Because they used that to pay their rent and groceries while left wingers forced everyone to not work for months, but it didnt cover all their expenses, which is why millions of people went into debt. At the same time, Democrat spending caused prices on everything to sky rocket.

Most got paid right through Covid, those that didn’t got very generous unemployment benefits.

If they pissed that money away that’s on them. I banked it

Wasn’t Trump president then?

Yeah, they said it. I disagree with it.

I don’t know what your question is and at this point I don’t really care. You’re in intellectually dishonest and terminally partisan.

My question is why should I vote blue when the Democrats have not asked for my vote since 2012 and to your point promote arrogant arguments and lies such as price gouging is responsible for inflation. Even Ana Kasparian left the party.

If they don’t want my vote why should I give it to them?

Yeah, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I prefer to think about this as logically as I can, which is why I provided data about food prices being driven by profit seeking.

If you want to make an emotional decision, there’s nothing I can do about it.

So you have no answer

Republicans ask for my vote. Democrats do not want my vote. You cannot refute this

Genuinely, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

Are your feelings hurt or something? You just sound whiney and emotional.

I can only discuss actual facts. Not the weird emotion nonsense you’re posting.
