When costs go up because we impose illegal economic sanctions on Russian oil, that is not "inflation".
Inflation is where prices go up after prosperity causes more spending competition for existing goods.

Prosperity doesn't cause prices to go up. The government printing money is what causes it.

 

[bripat9643]

Inflation has been on the rise since the supply chain crisis of 2020 or so. Russia's attack on Ukraine certainly didn't help though.

The Dim's trillions in deficit spending is what caused the inflation, douchebag.

When costs go up because we impose illegal economic sanctions on Russian oil, that is not "inflation".

Yes, it is. When costs go up for any reason, that is inflation regardless of the reason.

Inflation is where prices go up after prosperity causes more spending competition for existing goods.

First, competition reduces prices, not the other way around. That's why monopolies and collusions are or should be illegal cuz they can set the prices to whatever they want. But when you got so many different choices, that's when prices don't go up cuz the lowest prices generally win out.

See, inflation is where you have more money chasing after the same or lesser amount of goods to buy. Like when the gov't handed out trillions of dollars in stimulus money under Trump and Biden. The amount of goods and services (supply) didn't go up nearly as fast, hence inflation occurred. Demand-siders might claim that period as being prosperous cuz we had an increase in demand, but supply-siders would say that without a corresponding production increase in goods and services, that ain't prosperity.

Prosperity doesn't cause prices to go up. The government printing money is what causes it.

That is devaluation of the currency.
Actual inflation is tied to prosperity.

 

[bripat9643]

Devaluation of the currency is what causses inflation, moron. They are the same thing. The USA prospered for 150 years under the gold standard with no inflation. In fact, we had deflation.

Inflation is when all aspects of the economy increase.
That has to include wages as well.
But does not include just devaluing currency by printing money and giving it away.

The rising prices had nothing to do with lack of goods vs stimulus hand outs.
It came from intentional oil shortages from sanctions on Russian oil.

Inflation is when all aspects of the economy increase.\

It's when goods cost more, period. It doesn't require economic growth.

That has to include wages as well.

Wages generally inflate when other prices go up. In fact, it's the money paid to government parasites that cause prices to go up.

But does not include just devaluing currency by printing money and giving it away.

Sure it does. That's what the Dims do every time they pass a budget..

The rising prices had nothing to do with lack of goods vs stimulus hand outs.

ROFL!

It came from intentional oil shortages from sanctions on Russian oil.

It came from the federal budget.

Wrong.
Seller competition reduces prices, but buyer competition increases prices.

Stimulus money had nothing to do with the recent oil price increase.
That was entirely the illegal US economic sanctions on Russian oil.

The gold standard makes no sense, and is what destroyed Spain.
You also always want some inflation.

 

[Rigby5]

Not inflation if wages decreasing.

 

[Rigby5]

It came from the federal budget.

If that were true, then all prices would have increased.
But it was first only gasoline, and then slowly all things transported by oil.
So clearly then it was the illegal economic sanctions on Russian oil that caused the increased prices.
The printing money for stimulus covid checks was over 24 months ago.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

I love this country but

You can't say anything good about this country without the but. Talking from both sides of your mouth. Classic magaturd.

 

[Billy000]

Where as almost everyone I know has a job.

You need more employable friends.

If policy like this was the main driver of inflation, we would have had high inflation a long time ago. This policy might keep inflation from getting better, but it is hardly the main driver. It’s the pandemic that is the primary reason for this current inflation issue.

 

[bripat9643]

The gold standard makes no sense, and is what destroyed Spain.

Wrong. What destroyed Spain is having an endless supply of gold, which was a one time occurrence in the history of the world. There will never be an endless supply of gold again. Now we have an endless supply of paper money. Hence, we have endless inflation.

 

[bripat9643]

What the fuck does that mean?

 

[bripat9643]

All prices have increased.

Inflation never occurs everywhere at the same rate. It happens first where the money first appears, like Washington DC.

So clearly then it was the illegal economic sanctions on Russian oil that caused the increased prices.
The printing money for stimulus covid checks was over 24 months ago.

What's "clear" about that? Inflation started before sanctions on Russian oil, so you debunked your own theory.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Rejected.

You have destroyed this nation, turning it to a shell of its principles and to cultural rot, and you insist I dance around on its ashes.

Sorry, I'm simply too smart to fall for bread and circuses. But you have fun with that.

Nah. You sound like a typical miserable boomer pouting because society now questions the entitlements, cultural, political, and societal norms you likely benefited from and declared 'family values'. You believe you are a part of a 'silent majority' that existed long ago, if ever at all. Now that elections aren't going your way, you've completely lost it. I've heard these types of screeds countless times before. I don't find you smart at all, just common.

You mean she's unhappy because now dumbass voters like you are destroying society?

No shit!!!?

Why should anyone be happy about that?
