Leaving Trump..........Election-wise. Tide is clearly TURNING!

[Luckyone]

Trump gave each State's Governor the job of deciding what degree of lock down was appropriate for that State. It was the obvious thing to do because a one size fits all approach would make no sense at all. New York is not the same as South Dakota.

Again...why did inflation never go above 2% during any part of Trump's four years?

Because the reasons that caused inflation were not yet prevalent then. As the pandemic got worse, so did the supply and demand aspect get worse.

Last week Kamala was up 4 points in MI... today its tied... 4 points in one week... so I'm not sure where you are getting your news from but its inaccurate.....

If you say it, it must be fact. You are the expert.

Polls are ranges. Harris didn’t lose 4 points in a week. Even you know that. Most polls have Harris ahead in Michigan comfortably but we will see.

What did Trump do to cause high inflation?

Fundamental misunderstanding of how inflation occurs. I assume you think there is an inflation button in the Oval Office that Trump pushes or doesn’t?

The tide is clearly and "tangibly" turning against Trump, regarding the election. More and more people are turning FOR Harris

Giuliani's daughter has announced she is voting for Harris.



Taylor Swift has stimulated a strong increase of young voters to vote for Harris



This is truly starting to look like a nail in Trump's coffin

Parody of a fact

What to Know About the ‘Walz’s for Trump’

A viral photo shows Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s relatives in Nebraska supporting his Republican opponent. They’re distant cousins.

Sure. But the previous picture was a parody. And the other retard put it up as fact.

Let me know if you are still confused.

Actually, it was the reaction to the Pandemic, the 4 stimulus packages, that poured a trillion into the economy--thus fueling inflation.
Not really a Trump thing, not really a Biden thing.
Everyone wanted that money...and everyone with any knowledge of economics knew that it was going to fuel inflation.
It amuses me to see this particular issue politicized--as the recent inflation spike was anticipated by everyone.

You pour money into the economy via outright cash infusions and you get inflation.
It's so simple, and yet, people continue to fuel their political rhetoric with deliberate ignorance.

You do know what causes inflation?

I ask you the same question...what Trump policy caused inflation?

 

[Luckyone]

You do know what causes inflation?

Yes, I do, do you? You do know that there are “root” causes that trigger inflation to start, don’t you?

 

[Man With A Plan]

Yes, I do, do you? You do know that there are “root” causes that trigger inflation to start, don’t you?

I do. The well worn definition is lots of money chasing fewer goods. So what Trump economic policy created that scenario, Lucky?

Did you want to address Larry Summer's warnings to the Biden Administration?

Larry Summers sends stark inflation warning to Joe Biden​

New YorkCNN Business —
Larry Summers is urging Washington to tap the brakes on stimulus — or risk unleashing a serious burst of inflation.

Here’s what’s in the second stimulus package​

WashingtonCNN — 6:39 PM EST, Mon December 28, 2020
President Donald Trump signed on Sunday evening a $900 billion pandemic relief bill into law that includes enhanced unemployment benefits and direct cash payments.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/21/politics/new-covid-stimulus-bill-text/index.html
RELATED ARTICLEREAD: Text of the new $900 billion stimulus bill
The measure is the second-largest federal stimulus package after the $2 trillion CARES Act that Congress approved in March.

Lawmakers passed the bill last Monday, just in time to get something done before the end of December, when several aid programs in the CARES Act were set to expire, including key pandemic jobless assistance measures and eviction protections.

President Biden Announces American Rescue Plan​

More than 20 million Americans have contracted COVID-19, and at least 370,000 have died. From big cities to small towns, too many Americans are barely scraping by, or not scraping by at all. The need to act is clear in the lines at food banks, the small businesses that are closed or closing, and the growing number of Americans experiencing housing insecurity. After nearly a year of the public health crisis, our nation remains in this dark winter of the pandemic and facing a deep economic crisis.

While Congress’s bipartisan action in December was a step in the right direction, it was only a down payment. It fell far short of the resources needed to tackle the immediate crisis. We are in a race against time, and absent additional government assistance, the economic and public health crises could worsen in the months ahead; schools will not be able to safely reopen; and vaccinations will remain far too slow.

Okay, I supplied you with the articles that show the following:

1) We had a pandemic, the likes we have never had before
2) No one knew exactly what to do to address the pandemic
3) Under Trump. 2 stimulus packages were passed
4) Under Biden, 1 stimulus package was passed and it was bigger than the first two but then again the Pandemic was worse than when the first 2 pandemic stimulus programs were passed.
5) Monday morning quarterbacking is always easy to do but making the right decisions when it is happening, is hard to do.

If we look back, there are several things to consider

1) Congress passed all 3 stimulus packages, meaning that blame for the stimulus was not exclusively the fault of Trump or Biden.
2) The stimulus packages did help Americans in a lot of ways, meaning that it was not necessarily a bad decision
3) Some of the blame for the "need" of more stimulus packages was due to Trump's bad handling of the pandemic, which led to a much greater need for the 3rd stimulus package.

Like I said up above, you are being a Monday morning quarterback. At the time of the problem, the problem had to be addressed and it was addressed with the idea of helping Americans get through the Covid ordeal.

It turned out that it caused inflation to go up and the stimulus did not help the way it should have (meaning that less stimulus would have been better). Then again, no one is perfect and as such, some things will not turn out as hoped. The good thing is that Biden cared about Americans and his decisions were made with that thought in mind.

Criticizing him for that decision, is being unfair, especially considering that all of the G7 countries ended up with higher inflation than the U.S.

 

[Luckyone]

I do. The well worn definition is lots of money chasing fewer goods. So what Trump economic policy created that scenario, Lucky?

He caused more need for Stimulus because the way he handled the pandemic caused more infection to occur, more deaths to occur and more expenses to occur.

With all due respect, Larry Summers was not being a "Monday Morning Quarterback" when he issued those warnings...he was stating that BEFORE inflation went crazy! His point...which made absolute sense...was that pumping another trillion dollars in government spending into an economy that hadn't yet gotten the second stimulus money delivered while at the same time the Fed pledged to keep interest rates extremely low for the next three years was bad fiscal policy.

Caring about people doesn't make bad policy better, Lucky and it's totally fair to criticize Biden for the decisions he made!

In what way did Trump handle the pandemic that caused more infection to occur? The truth is that the shut downs were a bad idea that caused more harm than they did good. Trump went along with the recommendations of Anthony Fauci for Covid policy which was understandable because at the onset of the pandemic Fauci was viewed as the EXPERT on the subject! It took awhile for everyone to figure out that Saint Tony cared more about his own celebrity that he did about the general public.

 

[citygator]

I ask you the same question...what Trump policy caused inflation?

I didn’t make that claim. Inflation happened due to 2 reasons. 1) Labor shortage 2) Supply shortages

One could argue the country was utterly unprepared by the Trump administration to handle those two issues but no country was really.
