The “Affordability Crisis”…Dems and Mamdani pretending it’s not related to illegal aliens. Why pretend?

[kyzr]

I can see why Dem politicians ignore the reality of what causes an AFFORDABILITY CRISIS but why do libs like g5000 who seem to have a genuine concern for solving the problem play along with their game(s) of pretend?

g5000 is a misguided Never-Trumper, he votes with the dems, so ******* stupid, he must like to lose elections.

The others are garden variety democrats, with a few communists mixed in, they think electing democrats will give them more free shit. It never works, but until CA and NY, and WA go bankrupt they keep playing the DNC lottery.

You've been hoaxed, son.

High rents are due to a lack of housing supply, high mortgage rates due to Trumpflation, and zoning restrictions.

I know you are about to say wetbacks are taking up all those $400,000 houses, right?

Right?



.

A lack of supply caused by illegals.
Biden was the cause of inflation with his war on oil and massive debt based spending.
Inflation is slowing under Trump. How about that.
Biden 9.1% inflation
Trump left office 1.4%
Today 3%
See a pattern yet

Illegals fueling public housing shortage

Housing shortages are plunging New York City and Los Angeles into crisis. Affordable rents are scarce. Families are doubling up. Shelters are jam-packed. And over 100,000 people are sleeping sprawled on the streets of these two cities. The waitlist for public housing is over four years long in...

When Biden took office inflation was 1.4%. In 1 year it was 9.1%. How did that happen.

Very simple.

Inflation was caused by a sudden drop in demand due to the pandemic, followed by a tremendous surge in demand afterward.

It was also caused by the Fed holding interest rates too low for too long.

Consumer expenditures (demand) rose to an all time high after the pandemic.

When the pandemic Trump completely bungled abated, all that pent up demand spiked, and it overwhelmed the supply chain which had collapsed during the pandemic.

Add to that all the Trump and Biden stimulus which added trillions to the money supply.

Trump says he wants a bigger stimulus package than the $2.2 trillion amount that Democrats are seeking​

Due to the demand surge, we had a sudden, massive increase in the velocity of all that money.

Basic economics, but apparently too complicated and too many moving part for most partisan hacks to understand. So, "BECAUSE BIDEN!"

Sadly, the MAGAs have been deliberately dumbed down over decades by their propagandists to the point they have the intellectual bandwidth of a bumper sticker. Everything is "BECAUSE BIDEN!"

Trumpflation has nothing to do with illegals, bigot.

There is not Trumpflation dumbass. Total Biden inflation was 23% over 4-years, that is the basic problem, inflation outpaced wages and US families lost $950 a month in buying power under Biden, Trump needs to dig out of that hole.
YOU NEVER-TRUMPERS CAUSED THIS UNAFFORDABILITY CRISIS IN 2020 by electing Biden, dumbasses.

WRONG. The law of supply and demand says the 12,000,000 illegals caused the grocery prices to explode.

Mass corporate layoffs have nothing to do with illegals, bigot.

True.

Trump's tariffs and the massive federal debt are to blame for most of our economic problems. That and the fact Trump is absolutely clueless how to run an economy.

The Fed fucked up not Trump, and they are still ******* things up. Rates need to come down, and illegals deported to get housing back to affordable.

I've said many times that part of me wants Trump to fulfill his lie that he was going to build the wall, just so I can laugh my ass off as you poor dumb confused bigots discover it had ZERO effect on the economy.

The wall is complete, and Mexico is paying for it via the new Remittance tax.
The wall helps keep drugs and criminals out.

You should be asking yourself about that, and ask yourself why you keep going back to them to be lied to again and again and again.

New Data: Biden’s First Year Drilling Permitting Stomps Trump’s By 34%​

New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658.

Nearly 2,000 of the drilling permits were approved on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office-, followed by 843 in Wyoming, 285 in Montana and North Dakota, and 191 in Utah. In California, the Biden administration approved 187 permits — more than twice the 71 drilling permits Trump approved in that state in his first year.

Donald Trump DOUBLED the federal deficit BEFORE Covid. He overspent in FOUR years nearly as much as Obama overspent in EIGHT.

Where was your whining then, hack?

Even as Trump was doubling the deficit, Trumptards were still whining about Obama's overspending despite the fact he had HALVED the deficit!

Still whining about Obama years after he was gone while Dear Leader was doubling the deficit.

Ignorant and racist is no way to live.

The Economic Policy Institute conducted a study in 2023 and posted it on their website on February 20, 2024, titled: “Immigrants are not hurting U.S.-born workers. Six facts to set the record straight." The six facts are as follows:

• The unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers averaged 3.6% in 2023, the lowest rate on record. Obviously, immigration is not causing high unemployment among U.S.-born workers.
• The share of prime-age U.S.-born individuals with a job is at its highest rate in more than two decades. In 2023, the prime-age (ages 25–54) employment-to-population ratio (EPOP) for U.S.-born individuals was 81.4%, up from 80.7% in 2019 and now at its highest rate since 2001.
• The prime-age labor force participation rate (LFPR) for U.S.-born individuals is also at its highest rate in more than two decades. In 2023, the LFPR for prime-age U.S.-born individuals was 83.9%, up from 83.3% in 2019 and now at its highest rate since 2002. Further, the increase in the U.S.-born prime-age LFPR over the last year was the second highest on record—below only the increase that occurred the year before last.
• The prime-age LFPR of U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s degree grew at a record pace in each of the last two years and is above its pre-COVID trend. We focus here on prime-age men without a bachelor’s degree because though the immigrant population is comprised of men and women of all education levels, immigrants are somewhat disproportionately concentrated among men without a college degree (in 2023, the immigrant share of the overall labor force was 18.6%, but it was 20.0% of men without a college degree). That means that if recent immigration were affecting labor market outcomes of U.S.-born workers, it would be more easily detected among workers in this group. However, the LFPR of these workers is also beating expectations. It is clear the labor market is both absorbing immigrants and generating strong job opportunities for U.S.-born workers, including those in demographic groups potentially most impacted by immigration.
• Though the immigrant share of the labor force reached a record high in 2023, immigrant labor force growth is not occurring at an unprecedented rate. From 2019 to 2023, the immigrant labor force grew 2.3% annually on average, according to our analysis of CPS data. That is strong growth, but it’s roughly one-third the rate the economy experienced between 1996 and 2000 (which, just like 2022 and 2023, was a period of very low unemployment—and strong employment growth—for U.S.-born workers). Immigrant inflows into the labor force over the last year alone were also not unprecedentedly high—for example, the pace was slower than in 2022 and slower than three of the years from 1996–2000.

Immigrants are an integral part of our labor market, filling gaps caused by demographic changes in the United States and contributing to strong economic growth. The immigrants that make up 18.6% of the U.S. labor force are playing key roles in numerous industries and are employed in a mix of lower, middle, and higher-wage jobs. And as the Congressional Budget Office recently reported, immigration is contributing to strong economic growth—with future immigration forecasted to boost real gross domestic product by 2% over the next 10 years—as well as increasing government revenue. Immigrants are also complementing U.S.-born workers by contributing to overall population and workforce growth. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that if the U.S. were to have lower-than-expected immigration levels, the population would begin to decline in 20 years, and if there were suddenly zero immigration, the population would begin to decline next year, deeply harming economic growth.

2. Biden's 23% total inflation caused the affordability crisis. Letting 12,000,000 illegals into the US caused grocery and housing inflation via the law of supply and demand.

Dipshit lied about Biden's "war on oil". I obliterated that bullshit.

As for the rise of the price of gas, I have destroyed that "BECAUSE BIDEN" bullshit, too. Many times.

After the pandemic, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and other OPEC countries kept their oil outputs at pandemic levels. Despite the surge in post-pandemic demand.

Even an idiot like you should have been able grasp that affects the entire global market. If only your lying propagandists had told you about it.

Like I said. Too many moving parts for your bumper sticker intellect to grasp.

OPEC+ production cuts deepen with extensions from Saudi Arabia, Russia and other oil giants

Some members of oil cartel OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, and allied producers like Russia are again deepening their voluntary crude supply cuts.

apnews.com

Announcements from several OPEC+ countries extend reductions of some 2.2 million barrels a day, the secretariat for the multinational organization noted Sunday. Saudi Arabia led the pack by extending its previously-implemented cut of 1 million barrels a day through the end of 2024’s second quarter.

The extension, which was first shared by the state-owned Saudi Press Agency citing a Energy Ministry source, means the kingdom’s crude production will stand at about 9 million barrels a day through the end of June.

Also on Sunday, Russia announced an additional voluntary cut of 471,000 barrels per day for the second quarter — across a blend of production and exports.

Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman will be continuing reductions as well, according to OPEC’s secretariat, in smaller amounts.

The OPEC+ countries participating in production cuts, which have gradually piled up since October 2022, have pointed to goals of balancing the oil market — noting that volumes will be gradually returned subject to market conditions.

Saudis to cut oil production by 500,000 barrels per day​

​

Saudi Arabia said Sunday it will cut oil production by 500,000 barrels per day from May until the end of 2023, a move that could raise prices worldwide.


OPEC+ makes big oil cut to boost prices; pump costs may rise[/HEADING]

The OPEC+ alliance of oil-exporting countries decided Wednesday to sharply cut production to support sagging oil prices, a move that could deal the struggling global economy another blow and raise politically sensitive pump prices for U.S. drivers just ahead of key national elections.

Energy ministers cut production by a larger-than-expected 2 million barrels per day starting in November after gathering for their first face-to-face meeting at the Vienna headquarters of the OPEC oil cartel since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Meanwhle back in America, Biden was increasing US oil production to the highest level EVER.
