Notice the dates listed above each column. Then think about who was in the White House setting policy during those dates
White boards are now reliable news sources. Noted.
The President does not control inflation. Did you credit Trump for gas deflation during the pandemic when no one was driving? Liberals and conservatives alike have to shake this BS idea that POTUS controls the economy. The US economy is the largest on the planet and doesn't turn on a dime. If anything, it's probably more useful to look at current conditions in light of the last President.
And how you gonna present what baker's write on walls as evidence?!
What do you make of this?

Simple question. When did you really notice the high prices for everything. During Trump or biden? That's better than a graph. And Trump made us fucking energy independent which caused all energy prices to go down. So now we get fucked because the very same oil/gas we had right here comes from the middle east. I guess global warming makes an exception for WHERE oil and gas coms from
Biden is to blame for Donut-flation for sure. What's Trump's plan to fight rising cost of goods that has affected every world economy despite being all Jelly-filled Joe's fault?
Drastically cut back on wasteful federal government spending. Fire outright thousands off the federal payroll. We could literally take any segment of the federal government and fire 50% of the people and you wouldn't even notice a difference.
I agree that those who are really rich pay a lower tax rate then us average people. But that is a side issue when considering how the biden regime policies caused massive inflation
Who do you think pays congress to oppose bills that require corporations to pay a higher tax rate? Cause the answer is the Republican members.
Don’t believe me? Go look at their voting records. I’ll be here waiting.
I do not know the percentage of Republicans vs Democrats that fuck us to help corporations, but it certainly isn't only Republicans.
You’re correct. It’s mostly republicans.
The existence of corporate Democrats does not excuse wrongdoing by Republicans.
How did Biden cause inflation?
Check out all the government spending soon after he took office. Study the spending bills from the totally controlled Democrat congress that he signed. Then check out how any of those trillions spent (our tax dollars) benefited you. Government spending causes inflation. If you start with 5 one dollar bills they are each worth one dollar in spending power. If the government PRINTS 2 additional dollar bills now your five dollars is worth less. It's that simple. It was so absurd they told that they needed to print even more money to reduce inflation. They must think very little of the intelligence of their audience to think anyone would believe such a complete contradiction
Yes, but...is government spending the only cause of inflation?
It is always the major cause. Just think about it. Imagine if you could just fucking print as money currency as you wanted. The more they print the less what you have is worth. Simple math
If it was always the major cause, then what impact did lesser causes, like inflationary price increases by corporations or supply chains issues, have?
I don't intend to pursue this into oblivion just to say, "Ah ha! You don't know all!" I'm not going to do that. I swear.
supply issues were caused by covid bullshit. If you have an insane reaction to a really bad strain of flu that is deadly to those already circling the drain, then you close down factories and obviously cause supply issues.
Right, but my question is what effect do you think that had in inflation relative to government spending and why?
