And the Fed is reluctant to raise interest rates to stop it. With nearly 31 trillion in national debt, raising the rates will cause even more of the fed budget to go towards paying the interest on that debt. Eventually we end up like Venezuela.

“BIDEN DID THAT!”
They try to blame it on everyone and everything else, but Biden and the democrats brought this all on!
Here is a short rundown on some of the things that were accomplished by a conservative.
*The interstate highway system
*The Berlin Wall came down
*The Cold War ended
*The collapse of the USSR
*Established NASA
*Desegregated schools in Democrat run southern states
*Established an international relationship with China
*Gave women the right to vote
*Gave blacks the right to vote
*Defeated the Confederacy, ending the Civil War
*The Emancipation Proclamation
*Brought the troops home from Vietnam
*Brought down the ISIS caliphate
*Reduced our dependence on foreign oil
Agreed. And, you better make it canned and dry goods. Why? because Joes pandering to the climate dumb-dumbs and the activists wind and solar energy sources are not going to come any where close to supplying the energy needs of the current human population.
Joe despises the fossil fuel companies, however they enjoy his $110/barrel oil. What Joe doesn’t understand, is that during high gross profit times, oil companies are more willing to spend money on 3D seismic data to pursue additional drilling projects in newly acquired lease blocks. His administration makes such pursuit cost prohibitive. Simply put, Joe couldn’t find his own a** with both hands. And we pay for that.
We know that this is all Biden’s fault…..EVERYONE knows that this is all Biden’s fault but the democrats will continue to refuse to admit it. Blame here, blame there, blame everywhere except where it obviously belongs.
I just can’t understand how a considerable portion of the population can see things disintegrating right before their eyes and still kid themselves that everything is fine. It is troubling and quite perplexing.
Well, their votes are bought. As long as the masses keep getting most everything for “free,” they keep voting dumb.

The Biden regime has sown the whirlwind as Schumer says. I doubt they can conjure up enough fraud to save themselves in Nov. ( perhaps using dominion machine hacks though) I think even low information voters are starting to see reality now. I guess they thought the Ukraine war would somehow allow them to seize even more power and put them out of reach of the electorate but Russia is smartly going slowly and methodically. Biden regime will go long before Putin, just like with “ Assad must go!” and Obama etc. LoL

All other producers forced to either eat additional shipping cost or pass them along to consumer. Guess which option they chose?
Thanks Phil. I read that WAPO was literally accepting Biden’s talking points but I really thought that story was The Onion kind of satire. Turns out they really are selling that baloney! Fun stuff. In the world of reality, Trump shoveled money (too much) into the economy while it was weak, Biden shoveled money into the economy as it came out of recession, kind of like stomping on the car accelerator as you approach the intersection. Lots of economists warned that last 2 trillion was a stupid idea. It was. Additionally the Federal Reserve kept rates ridiculously too low. A government spending sugar high combined with easy money, and there is our inflation. And they are being very upfront that they need to force a recession now on us to “help” us. Such fun.

Never before has this nation experienced such a perverted and incestuous relationship between government and big business. Our strength as a nation has always been the separation of the two. A century and a half ago, if a company screwed up, they went under. And perhaps something stronger arose out of the ashes. Today “too big to fail” is our mantra and just like Japan in the 1990s, we prolonged our pain.
The Fed policies of multi-year quantitative easing, record low interest rates, and printing trillions of dollars out of thin air are the primary cause of this inflation. And inflation was a foregone conclusion.
If the Fed raises interest rates, how will that affect repayment of the national debt? It will get ugly.
Now the Fed is adopting a policy of quantitative tightening, and I believe their first attempt to unload MBS resulted in zero bids.
No one is buying what the Fed is selling. Actually, the taxpayer is buying. They just don’t know it.
Yes, there have been bad Fed policy choices. The current chairman, Powell, is not even an economist instead going through law school. Earlier than that, he was an expensive Georgetown prep-school brat rubbing elbows with the rich and famous where he made his lifelong connections. Started as a lawyer. From his speeches seemed to literally know nothing about 1970s inflation until he had to start speaking on it. His skill set is how to make connections, not how to actually do anything. The US does have a social class problem that way.

We all better buckle up as the ride is going to get way rougher before it gets better. Thank you to all who where so foolish to vote in greenies, progressives and socialists under SOROS funding. If your stomach does not turn every morning with the latest crap they are shoving down our throats well something has to be wrong with your thinking process. You were so stupid to believe the leftist media about Trump (no he is by no means correct in how he delivers messages) but you and your pocket book, property and wallet best wake up and fast.

Eighteen months ago, the US was an exporter of energy which was profitable. Now, under the Biden plan, we are an exporter of inflation.
There is no profit in that….
Joe(and everyone who voted for him) did that.
If you cashed a stimulus check in 2020 or accepted a PPP loan, you only have yourself to blame for contributing to this “transitory” inflation.
@Wally,
There are many of us on a fixed income who did neither are are suffering the consequences
And the Fed is reluctant to raise interest rates to stop it. With nearly 31 trillion in national debt, raising the rates will cause even more of the fed budget to go towards paying the interest on that debt. Eventually we end up like Venezuela.

Name one thing conservatives have done to accomplish anything
I’ll start: Conservatives freed the slaves.
This is too easy!
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
Here is a short rundown on some of the things that were accomplished by a conservative.
*The interstate highway system
*The Berlin Wall came down
*The Cold War ended
*The collapse of the USSR
*Established NASA
*Desegregated schools in Democrat run southern states
*Established an international relationship with China
*Gave women the right to vote
*Gave blacks the right to vote
*Defeated the Confederacy, ending the Civil War
*The Emancipation Proclamation
*Brought the troops home from Vietnam
*Brought down the ISIS caliphate
*Reduced our dependence on foreign oil
Well, the responses to DR sure shut him up….
From what I hear, he’s sitting in the corner blubbering away along with JWB.
None of the democrats have produced anything constructive….
Stack it to the rafters. It’s all planned Let’s go Brandon.
Agreed. And, you better make it canned and dry goods. Why? because Joes pandering to the climate dumb-dumbs and the activists wind and solar energy sources are not going to come any where close to supplying the energy needs of the current human population.
And invest in precious metals – brass and lead.
For the 82 percent that didn’t vote….you are obviously leeches on society and deserve absolutely zero. You’re simply a waste of oxygen.
DON’T TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. 18% of registered voters care… The rest of you? Whine away! I sneer at you!
No president has ever been so good for energy companies and so bad for the poor and working class!
Joe despises the fossil fuel companies, however they enjoy his $110/barrel oil. What Joe doesn’t understand, is that during high gross profit times, oil companies are more willing to spend money on 3D seismic data to pursue additional drilling projects in newly acquired lease blocks. His administration makes such pursuit cost prohibitive. Simply put, Joe couldn’t find his own a** with both hands. And we pay for that.
We know that this is all Biden’s fault…..EVERYONE knows that this is all Biden’s fault but the democrats will continue to refuse to admit it. Blame here, blame there, blame everywhere except where it obviously belongs.
I just can’t understand how a considerable portion of the population can see things disintegrating right before their eyes and still kid themselves that everything is fine. It is troubling and quite perplexing.
