Just the opposite. Let Musk clean house and set up an actual budget, and as our GDP rises, it will make up for the decrease in taxes paid. We'll bring in enough revenue to take care of our new, slimmer government.

Wall St. Journal and Huffpo?

It's only natural that rich Wall Street traders would favor a Democrat administration, seeing how a Democrat-controlled Federal Reserve has been injecting billions of dollars worth of quantitative-easing into the market.

I suppose you've never really wondered why the stock market levels have been so high, huh?

"Perhaps even more impactful for accelerating inflation in 2022 was the quantitative-easing (QE) programme initiated in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, which saw the Federal Reserve (the Fed) purchase massive quantities of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities—and, therefore, inject billions of dollars per month that eventually found their way into the real economy. A study published in January by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) conducted by Tomasz Wieladek, the chief European economist at asset management firm T. Rowe Price, found that not only did quantitative easing play a significant role in the post-pandemic rise in inflation across advanced economies but also that QE programmes worldwide have had stronger inflationary effects than conventional monetary policy across countries."

Price gouging.

Prices haven't come down. In fact, they are still going up. The 2.3% rate is the speed at which inflation is rising. It isn't rising as quickly as it was before. That's all that means.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Price gouging.

Nope. It's inflation.

MAGA is just a continuation of the GOP's decades long strategy of massively increasing government, massively increasing federal spending, and hording the nation's wealth into the hands of people like Elon Musk.

Lying propaganda. OBidens out of control spending is causing this.

Price gouging.

Then why weren't those "evil capitalists" price gouging when the "evil capitalist" Trump was President and we had "evil capitalist" Republicans in charge of the House and Senate?

 

[Lesh]

Ancient history at this point.

Trump’s policies would kick it UP

You mean Trump didn’t add 7trillion to the debt and dump 5 trillion into the economy?

Yeah he did

During his first term inflation was really low. During Bidumb/camela it was really high.

Who should we choose… hmm, tough one.

Yeah, just ignore that. And believe it will increase under Trump when it didn’t during his first term.
