    Default Inflation at a 31yr high, board Dems.

    Anyone but Trump, right?

    Inflation began to enter high gear towards the end of last year so it's not anything Biden did or even Trump. If you understood anything about economics, you would understand that.

    Second, there is only one way to get quickly inflation under control. Quit printing so much money and raise interest rates. That would, of course, bring down the stock market from all-time high after a sell-off.

    Democrats won't do it before the midterms to keep the stock market up. They are hoping to hell that inflation begins to drop next summer with supply on the rise.

    Ultimately, it's a lose-lose situation for Democrats in power. If they do nothing to keep the stock market rolling at all-time high, Republicans will politicize high inflation leading into the election. If they do try to bring down the inflation faster by raising the interest rates, the stock market will come tumbling down, and Republicans will politicize the tumbling stock market.

    Well, the only saving grace is natural supply vs demand. Next 8 months will be important to watch. I believe it will determine the midterms.

    nice post Blade ... inflation is based on our economy ..
    when no one was producing and selling , inflation occurs. (see 2020 cvd19)

    This same shit happened during the Clinton adm. after Bush left office.
    If Biden needs a blue print that would be the one , Clinton balanced the budget even under those situatons.
    I know it's much more complicated than that , but all this spending by the fed's is to encourage spending by our country to encourage product productivity.
    we will never get out of debt.
    But I have good news for everyone .. as long as we do not get into another disastrous pandemic in about 6 years we will feel like kings.

    Dems are stupid. They literally think that mean tweets is worse than the situation we are in today. There is no way the previous President allows this to happen. We can't even get product off the ships, into trucks, and onto store shelves. This is America. Not Venezuela or Cuba.

    There is absolutely nothing Trump could have done to keep inflation down. Anyone with even basic knowledge of economics would know it.

    Ports are filled with a massive waiting list due to more supplies needing to be brought off the ships than the number of workers available. It's essentially a bottleneck from what I read economists say, and supply is just beginning to catch up to demand but the effects won't be felt until a few months down the road. Companies won't hire anyone extra because they know it's a temporary thing. If they hire too many people now then they will be forced to fire a lot of people on the backend.

    it's not even inflation. when food, particular raw food, price remains stable, the rest of the pricing change is completely dependent on service (brain labor). it's creating more tiers/class in order to justify the speed of a free flowing economy.

    as to how necessary that even is, I would argue based on depreciation, the difference is truly marginal. how big of a difference is between courtyard and Marriott? nothing when it's an overnight stay.

    just think, what exactly IS inflation, without bad neighborhoods. Unless somehow the human population is growing at a pace faster than the available goods, then sure, as many suspected, abortion is the way to stop inflation.


    is new always better? it's only better when one has lost the ability to take care of things.

    And why aren't workers available old chap?


    Could it possibly be from Joe Biden's vaccine mandates for larger corporations?


    No way Donald Trump enforces vaccine mandates.

    I'm so sick of you ignorant ****s commenting on these matters as if you're rooting for sports teams.

    OP, shut the **** up.

    Inflation has been happening for a hundred+ years and it was going to happen in a big way because of the spring of 2020 no matter who was in office at that time, who was going to get elected in the fall and who the was president right now. None of this matters.

    Washington spending is out of control and it has been for decades. It has nothing to do with R or D. SHUT UP.

    Shut. the ****. up.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Stop making threads. Stop commenting. Just shut up.

    Nope, that's not it. If the port companies hire more workers, they have to provide benefits, guaranteed hours, yadaa yadaa yadaa.. Why would they do that for a temporary 1-year bottleneck and fire everyone once the demand is met? Hiring people actually takes time, costs money interviewing everyone and doing background checks. I guess you can acquire temporary workers, but I don't know the process for that.

    Anyways, it's not just the ports. It's the whole damn shebang.. Raw resources, manufacturing, producing, shipping, all of them facing shortages across the globe. Shutting down everything for a year does it to you, especially if you then have to open up all at once with pent-up demand.

    MAGATS are outraged at Washington? Why Washington? Why not corporations and other corporate venders? Washington does not sell us all those goods and services. Vendors are increasing prices. Need new light on this.

    Are we really playing party games now? Anything that was passed had to go through Republican-controlled Senate & signed by Lil Donny, a Republican president.

    Also, last I checked Lil Donny wasn't the president of Planet Earth but only the USA. Explain how that accounts for inflation in Europe, Asia, South America, and Canada?? I will wait.
