    Yeah I mentioned her in that same conversation as an example of one that was prosecuted, once again proving you wrong.

    Oh I see, you think that her being prosecuted makes what’s happening to Trump ok….

    well, good luck with that. I might suggest you would few different if it were you being persecuted by government….

    but since it’s happening to someone you dislike, you allow it…I wonder if that has happened before in history 🤔

    Remember when you said this?

     

    It’s an odd thing to raise, since when I posted that she was already under prosecution.

    i surmise this is one of those instances where you pluck up an example to make it the rule, until that approach later refutes something you believe?

    Marilyn Mosby was the DA that let this filthy animal out to rape and kill again. And yup, Soros. One of the early puppets Soros installed. And she did As told. I wish it was someone he cared about instead.

    It’s a bad political argument to make but it would have risen regardless. That was baked in when trillions were given away, production slowed to a crawl, then open everything back up. It’s an issue everywhere.

    People want to elect clown man again I’ll take my tax cut, watch all these arguments flip - like stock market highs are bad and gdp growth is bad - and watch the clown show. 

    It may have risen, and I believe that were Trump in there, he would not have lied it away....IMHO.....   and dealt with it.  This is benefit of having someone not immersed in the political swamp.

    If we can get back to just simple common sense, I would take that, just an end to ongoing setup for misery.....

    Isn’t this the same thing over and over again?

    The economy is doing well by measuring unemployment, growth, consumer spending, etc. These numbers are healthy for the US economy. Yes inflation is a terrible problem and it will impact the poor more than the rich.

    Inflation would have occurred regardless because of the actions we took when everything was shut down. The country is doing well in comparison to other like nations who also dealt with the global impact of the covid pandemic. 

    I get the party trying to gain control using this as a main argument. It’s what is happening to people and they see it every day. 

    This article in the OP presents what I found interesting that people think one thing about the set of info that is just incorrect. Seems pretty clear it all comes down to stuff costing more. People not having money in the stock market, or being priced out of housing has been an issue for some time and will only become more prominent in many markets without a serious downturn or some type of intervention.

     

    Inflation may have arisen.....it can arise at any time..... something as simple as threatening the energy sector can cause it.  But that is not so bad, as long as you recognize it and deal with it forthrightly.....if instead, you ignore it however, then is progressively gets worse....and then later....if you pretend is just temporary......it gets even worse....it can get so bad that you harm people.

    Then, any good that may be arising does not matter.....because you have harmed so many people, you cannot win the election.

    Thanks again. 
     

    Well, first off of course I disagree with you on Biden’s bill which I think was mostly good spending, I think Tim Scott is completely wrong. In any event, and this is a point that I have made to you before, I believe it’s far too early to accurately the judge the effects of Biden’s spending bills. We won’t see how those affected the economy for years to come. It’s certainly flawed logic, IMO, to attempt to tie any spending that Biden has done to inflation, which is world wide since Covid. I agree that Biden’s spending bill was misnamed but that’s a minor issue. 

    Moving on to Trump, I asked you what policies he enacted that led to good times. Most of what you listed were results that occurred during his time in office, not policies put forth by him. I would argue that most of these results were tied to policies put forth by Obama- again it always takes a few years. As zi go down your list pretty much the only specific policy you can point to was the tax cut. This provided, I believe, short term gains but they were pretty illusory. We are paying for that tax cut now in terms of greater deficits which has made it more difficult for us to tackle the inflation issue. 
     

    So in conclusion I find your thinking wrong on this. Not that it will help Biden because it appears that far more of the public agree with you rather than me on these issues. 

    I get it that you disagree, all good, differing opinions will happen

    Yes of course. That doesn’t mean the economy isn’t doing well. Inflation was going to occur no matter who was in power.

    The Dems would be doing the same thing if dumbass actually won and was in charge. They would be saying look what happened when this guy ran the show. Time for a change back to one of us with whoever the GOP put up.

    Give credit to a decent economy under Trump for first years, many would never do this for Obama when he left the place way better than he got it, but acknowledge it was a shetshow when he left.

    The economy is doing well....for who....?  This is what seems lost on you.....the economy is fine if you are of means, but if you are not is is a disaster

    Step 3:  it’s happening but it’s not harmful

    Actually ....

    First deny  <------- WE ARE HERE

    then when caught.....minimize by saying "its just that one store" or "its isolated"

    as it spreads declare it to be a "right wing conspiracy theory"

    as it surges....blame Republicans....rinse.....repeat....

    Finally throw out the "what does it matter now" to pretend we should just drop it.

    I’d like you to be more specific here: 

    1. What Biden policies have “ruthlessly harmed us”? 

    2. What Trump policies were “working for us” that we need to get back? 
     

    Thank you. 

    Perhaps the worst thing was “Inflation Reduction Act” misnamed on purpose, since it did not reduce, but instead fomented inflation, there were others, and I am frankly surprised you have no awareness of this, but it speaks to your insistence that what is happening is not true...

    Good Trump things

    Sadly, I have to head out to get ready for my trip to GITMO....dealing with some ancillary outcomes of the Biden fock up I spent a month fixing over in Syria.....but will catch back up when i get my R&R in puerto rico

    That’s exactly what you implied when you said it was “isolated” to Dem areas. Also it’s aisle. HTH

    Yep, that is where I see it causing the harm....if it exists in the hills of butfock Arkansas, but is  not harming people, we can get to that later. right now defending these people from democrats takes priority

    OK so you admit that Trump inherited a good economy, that's a start.  OK nice job.

    And he didn't fock it up for a few years, we agree on that.  But his 2019 job numbers were the lowest in 8 years.  We started to see a little slowing right before covid.

    Then the economy went to sh1t.

    You think Biden inherited a good economy? :lol: 

    The economy was losing jobs when Biden was sworn in.

    He turned that around, and then some, adding more jobs post covid recovery than Trump added pre covid.

    Interesting though that you admit Trump inherited a good economy and didn't fock it up, as opposed to creating a great economy on his own, which is laughable.

    Biden inherited a rather good economy, the economy was generally good under Trump, except for the Covid-induced recession

    Now, if you are all on on Biden, and consuming liberal media you might have the misperception that the economy was worse, but as with the standard lie from Biden along these lines, the truth ends up not being what you presume.

    His handling of a COVID-induced economy has no precedent, but  his mismanagement of inflation was avoidable, and his lying about it really stands out.

    Am I supposed to dignify your claim with an actual response? Nobody over the age of 10 thinks racists only come from one political side of the aisle. 

    :doh: 

    I guess, not....perhaps I should treat your posts with the same lack of respect you are so inclined to offer to others.....

    And since I never said it was one side of the isle, lets put your misrepresentation aside....Democrats do the most harm, so that is where our attention should be focused.

    How much do you think the increase in the cost of goods is on a poor economy compared to corporation just charging more because they can?  It seems as if corporations are making more than ever and can lower the cost of their goods if they wanted to.  I just read that Target is going to start lowering their prices, as if they couldn't have done that a long time ago.

    I have worked in the corporate wing for years......we never price to gouge, we price to be competitive.  When costs rise.....whether that be from taxes.....or policy changes.....regulatory elements.....salaries..... whatever, we bake that into the cost.

    Corporations are not taking advantage, they have metrics to meet.  So when they raise prices it is to meet the stated plan.   When government floods the market with money, you have more money chasing fewer goods....and you get inflation.  That translates into costs. The government is effectively handing out money to people, and charging them for that money through inflation.....and then end up paying much more than they were handed.

    It is only too easy to say those mean corporations are just making too much money, but that is not true. 

    Democrats do not understand simple economics, we see this in their policies and they tell us with their words

    This lack of economic understanding explains why they cannot grasp how damaging their policies are....

    Wages are going up though, are they not?  That should lead to an improvement as long as inflation doesn't go up.

    When things cost more, wages going up are less of a "feel good".  If we place the current economy next to what they had under the prior administration, people will favor the prior one.

    Making less money, but being able to buy more just feels better than making more money, but not being able to afford what you want or need.....

    Yeah that is happening more so than ever probably. My point is economy was doing just fine under Trump but Covid happened. It impacted the global economy. We are doing pretty well. 

    I understand people being pissed that stuff costs more than it did 5 years ago and that is a much easier thing to make an issue than we are doing better than pretty much everyone else. 

    This has a level of complexity. I think for a slice of people, inflation is an inconvenience.... but for those in the lower strata....who were already living week to week on their meager income....inflation is absolutely devastating. We should always look at inflation as a wrecking ball hitting the lower classes.

    Aren't there still a lot of jobs available though?  I feel like people try living above their means more than ever right now.

    Credit card debt supports your assertion about living above their means, but we would need to break out spending patterns, I recall reading that people are leveraging credit cards just to get by.....inflation has a disproportionate harm to the lower classes who were already living close to the edge.

    For example, when inflation arises you or I simply adjust our spending.  Maybe we eat out less, or hold off on a large purchase, or become more selective in basic necessity acquisitions....

    For the less affluent, its a matter of eating.....period.....making rent.....just sustaining the simple things to exist. So when I see Democrats, notably Biden, shrugging it off.....I mean, that is some seriously sinister way of thinking.... on their part

    And you believe that racism is ONLY in places where Democrats are dominant? :lol: 

    Only....no.....I think there is certainly racism to be found everywhere, on the campus of columbia.....and harvard.....we can see it on MSNBC every day.....if I were to head to certain areas of downtown Baltimore, I would experience violent racism....so I think we can presume it lives out there....but I think it is worse anywhere you find Democrat policies that are dominant

    There was plenty pushed through with Donald in charge. People want to feel no pain. The economy was not doing well in 2020 after Covid hit.

    Again we are not in recession. Inflation is a huge problem. Our economy is doing pretty well though.

    I would tend to not dispute these assertions. Though I will allow that there are some opinions out there which add more context, I think your points have merit. I might add that the economy is doing well for those who are more affluent, and less so for the less affluent.
