Biden's insane spending drives inflation, Fed checks inflation with rising rates, rates go up, the energy goes up, groceries go up, materials go up, discretionary income goes down, and credit cards get used more. Surging debt under Biden. Yes. The real effect of Biden's several trillion spending sprees is here, and people feel it.
Why are you not laying any of this spending/inflation blame on Trump? In one term, he oversaw the 3rd largest increase in deficit spending by any Pres.
Yeah none of this has Joe’s fingerprints on it.
Ok - so what austerity measures would you have enacted? How would these help to smooth any of the shipping/logistics issues that were present in the past two years? How do you tackle people who stayed home for 2020 and opened up their spending when lockdowns were dropped, how do you curb their spending? Stop people from buying things? In the spending packages, how much of it do you think is unnecessary and how would you tackle supporting the small businesses that were hit hard by the pandemic? What sort of controls would you have in place (assuming your going to take an austerity approach) to stop against a deflationary cycle? How do you control taking a different approach than governments around the world, what is your message to the public and to businesses?
I’d overheat an already recovering economy with an American Recovery Plan and toss money to private schools, right wing donors, and handouts to demographically right wing categories. Then, once I lied about inflation being transitory despite being caused by my partisan handout bill, I’d push Trillions in infrastructure and say the cost is zero, when it clearly isn’t. Once people can’t afford gas and groceries, I dump another T into an inflation reduction act that requires the Oil and gas industry to hire more people just to figure out how to collect all the free and easy money from the Government as a thanks. Works right?
I like it, you're a solutions driven guy with lots of original thoughts. Always good to have solutions ready to go whenever you have criticisms. Thank you for providing backup to your criticisms of the Biden admin fiscal policy with what you would do if you could handle the situation.
Not sure about you Canucks, but this would be racist in many US public schools. Pronoun education, masturbation for 4th graders (I'm not being sarcastic here), and critical race theory have been deemed higher priorities.
If any of that is true, it doesn't excuse Drayer's inability to formulate a coherent thought.
Where did I say that? Are you saying Trump's fingerprints aren't on it or COVID's?
I just find it funny that when discussing Joe's failings, the response is the classic "what about Trump?" Remember, Trump did no wrong and walked on water. Best and smartest president in history.
I guess it’s bad when the right does it? You don’t spend Trillions on low return handouts at the taxpayers expense on partisan lines. You can make an argument for the infrastructure bill. Every other dime is an abuse of taxpayer money and a handout. The IRA is the worst and something I now spend lots of time unpacking during my job. It’s a joke.
When your family is filing lawsuits to take the stripper baby Biden’s last name away from the baby Hunter had while cheating on his dead brothers widow and that’s the smartest guy Joe knows… kissing ain’t their biggest quirk.
I know you are aware that the economy always transcends a single term of office and I'm not denying that his policy may have exacerbated the inflation rate. It's disingenuous (expected from uecker).
False.
I welcome all evidence backing up what uecker said.
He can't and no one else will go on to say what they would have done differently or what should have been done in a global economic crisis. Culture war type items are incredibly easy for entry level discussion. Monetary and fiscal policy, which ironically is supposed to be the Conservative speciality, is never discussed. I genuinely want to know what economic principles and theories they want to follow that would have resulted in better outcomes. But, we know they won't so it's just a circlejerk of whatever substack grifter is pushing as culture war of the week lol.
I did. I explained that it is dumb to overheat an already surging economy and that you are correct wherever the recovery lags because the government weighed its thumb too hard during the lockdowns. Printing cash for partisan handouts isn't exactly textbook monetary policy, and I don't have a policy team to propose a brief for you. I'm not going to pretend that someone who thinks those that don't subscribe to the line of excuses and left-wing theories is just ignorant culture warriors, so why bother going further?
Biden doesn't see red states and blue states, remember?

Wow, with such a string of unbridled, astounding successes so far, why would Biden need to trot out that tired old lie about cutting SS? I mean, what's next.... telling people that Republicans hate the poor, want to control women's bodies, or will take Blacks back to slavery days?
