So What Is Really Driving Inflation?

[Indeependent]

We have to pay for the last 20 years of war some way. Rather than blame it on ourselves, lets blame the gubmut.

Citizens force the gubment to go to war?

The same way Trump did, do nothing but give empty platitudes when we went through the pandemic in which Trump stopped society and commerce for his National Health Emergency. You see what is happening today was caused by past actions not forward actions and I know you think that Biden is the man who should get the blame because he is president well Trump can live under the same auspice when he was president.

But, the biggest laugh is when you idiots think we actually are a socialist/fascist/communist nation because there is no way you could include capitalist into this mess all you short sighted dumbasses can do is say, Go Biden....

Bullshit, Trump did what he had to with your tent controlling the House, dealing with a shut down economy because your tent demanded it.
A lot of money WAS spent under Trump. A lot of money hasn't been spent, and its on the sidelines. Your tents socialized mentality
is creating a lot of froth with the freebies. One Bill passed is 1.2 TRILLION minimum another on deck is comes in at a staggering 1.75 TRILLION
but, odds are it will end up over 4 TRILLION. Little is paid for. So don't go pointing your finger at Trump, dude. This is squarely on the back of your tent.
If there was anyone who is a dumbass, it's that fucked up yellow kid avatar. Socialist bastard

One of the reasons is the price of fuel. It takes fuel to bring the products to the market. And if that goes up, the brokers will have to go up on what they charge to bring those items to the markets. And wages have jumped very high and which companies have to raise the prices on their products to feed their employees the amount they are asking for, while production is slow. That most companies are buying material from across seas because manufacturing companies here are being shut down like pipe manufacturing companies who were making pipes for the pipeline.

Not the point. The piper has to be payed.

The Fed isn't even the gubmint.

 

[foggedinn]

Sure, blame it on the fed. Whoever or whatever your target for blame is today, there is still no such thing as a free lunch. I was just hoping that there might be one or two conservatives in the room who understood that.

The members of the Fed like making money by giving speeches.

 

[debbiedowner]

The news says COVID.

People, mostly housewives, quit the workforce. A lot of jobs are unfilled.

Employers raise wages in the hopes of hiring someone.

So they have to raise the price of what they produce to pay those wages.

etc, etc.

Yes, the news is correct, it was Covid the fed pump up 2020 and part of 2021. Shutdowns, no one to make products in mid 2020 world wide. When things began to open and the help with trump's first stimulus and then biden's, humans wanted to buy products that weren't available because of deaths, people quitting their jobs. Higher wages has very little to do with it.

Simple supply and demand and it would have happened regardless of who the President was. You can't blame either trump or biden but yes, Covid and either the accidental or intentional escape from the lab.

You, don't understand supply and demand and playing catch up do you? Blame it on Covid.

 

[debbiedowner]

Trump's not the president.
Brandon's handlers are, how are they going to fix it?

But did the supply chain issue not begin under your god? Yes, it did, so soon a mod forgets.

 

[Burgermeister]

Scarcity, demand, and high energy prices.

Not sure what your point is....as usual. The PANDEMIC hit right, so what did you expect?
With something like 6 TRILLION and counting of dollars being created out of thin air,
it will cause inflation. But, I think that will go right over your pin head.

It was not the supply chain, it was panic buying.
I even looked up Bounty and they said they had more than enough but the trucks couldn't load and deliver fast enough because of the panic.

It's not rocket science, Skews! At least it isn't to anyone who's taken basic Macro Economics. When you pump Trillions of dollars into an economy you have more money chasing the same amount of goods and the cost of those goods goes up. Then you throw in the supply chain fiasco caused by this Administration's total lack of a plan to address the bottlenecks and you've got even fewer goods to meet the demand generated by all of that money you've injected into the economy which makes prices go even higher!

So did you want to take a crack at explaining why any rational person would be calling for Trillions MORE in government spending? That makes sense to you?

Well said!

Who prints up the currency and is monetizing the debt, Gomer Pyle?

Agreed! Maybe she should go out and increase her debt by 30% and see what happens to the purchasing power of her paycheck.

Democrats holding up shipping containers this creating a shortage which will raise prices.

Democrats increasing fuel costs which scares people and results in higher prices.

Millions of people who didn't work for a year now don't want to go back to work and are having to be paid extra to work, plus a generation of shitty kids that demand skilled labor wages for unskilled labor jobs. So companies have to pay more which means they have to charge more for their products and other companies know a lot of people make more money so they increase the cost of their goods.

[Harpy Eagle]

The Fed printing up trillions of dollars, with no corresponding economic growth, is what's driving inflation, no matter what the gaslighting fascist fuckwit "noted economists" at Raw Sewage say.
