The Absurd GOP

[Deesse23]

Inflation is the democrat's fault, when Biden took office, the rate of inflation was 1.9%.

When Biden took, office a massive pandemic was in full swing...remember? Then Russia invaded Ukraine, messing up energy prices. But i guess thats also Bidens fault.

It's always interesting how they think the economy only fairs well under the Rs. You'd think they'd have choked on that Faux nonsense by now.

[Fireball]

It's that cult of worship. The talking heads on Faux news can bitch about how the libs are ruining the country and then switch to employment news showing yet another 200k+ upswing in employment, in practically the same breath.

[Angrboda]

Yeah, Biden ruined our economy.  And he made other countries' economies worse.  That's some powerful shit.

LOW INFLATION (BUT NOT ALWAYS FOR GOOD REASONS)

Inflation was much lower under Trump, never topping an annual rate of 2.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The annual rate reached as high as 8% in 2022 under Biden and is currently at 3.4%.

There were three big reasons why inflation was low during Trump’s presidency: the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis, Federal Reserve actions and the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump entered the White House with inflation already low, largely because of the slow recovery from the Great Recession, when financial markets collapsed and millions of people lost their homes to foreclosure.

The inflation rate barely averaged more than 1% during Obama’s second term as the Fed struggled to push up growth. Still, the economy was expanding without overheating.

But in the first three years of Trump’s presidency, inflation averaged 2.1%, roughly close to the Fed’s target. Still, the Fed began to hike its own benchmark rate to keep inflation low at the central bank’s own 2% target. Trump repeatedly criticized the Fed because he wanted to juice growth despite the risks of higher prices.

Then the pandemic hit.

Inflation sank and the Fed slashed rates to sustain the economy during lockdowns.

When Trump celebrates historically low mortgage rates, he’s doing so because the economy was weakened by the pandemic. Similarly, gasoline prices fell below an average of $2 a gallon because no one was driving in April 2020 as the pandemic spread.

Many remember solid economy under Trump, but his record also full of tax cut hype, debt and disease

Actually it's not

1. Trumps not going to fix anything 

2. Inflation isn't Biden's fault 


3. The border isn't Biden's fault 

4. Ukraine is Russia's fault 

5. The war in the middle east has been a thing for decades

6. illegal immigrants have been coming to America long before Biden was in office

Sure, between 11-18 million illegal immigrants cross our border every 3+ years. Inflation is the democrat's fault, when Biden took office, the rate of inflation was 1.9%. In the past almost 4 years now, the price of EVERYTHING is through the fucking roof. Things like energy and groceries have gone up 50% since that senile POS took over(has he really been making these decisions on his own? Doubtful. Who's really been running the country for the last 2 or 3 years?), and those prices haven't gone down, and may never improve. 

We're struggling just to make ends meet, with the price of everything being so expensive. I'm retired on permanent disability, and my wife works in the title industry, and our total yearly income has gone down in the past 3 years because the real estate industry has been struggling with high interest rates. Getting the democrats out of power won't be anything but good for the country. 
I know you disagree, but that's why we're very lucky to live where we do, we can all say what we'd like to say, even if it's not very popular.

If Biden isn’t really running the country, why are you blaming him? And, if someone else (presumably some secret Democratic cabal) is secretly in control with all that power over immigration and inflation, why would they let Harris lose the election? As an aside, aren’t you concerned over Trump's/Musk’s pledges to pare back Social Security and Medicare?

Think before you post.

Yup it's not the Dems fault socio-economic factors in South America during and post covid lead to a huge rise in immigration again that's not Biden fault and Trump would have had the same problem. Also most his policy were a total failure Title 42 didn't work and possibly against international law and Trumps wall can be overcome by something you can get a home hardware .

Inflation is not the Dems fault as the president doesn't control the rate of inflation nor does he control the price of gas or groceries or interest rates and no Trump being elected won't change any of that because he can't change any of that because it's not within the presidents power to do so in fact things could get even worse under Trump with all his stupid talk about Tariffs. So you're blaming the wrong people for your problems (Also, Biden is perfect capable of making choices)

 I know you disagree, but that's why we're very lucky to live where we do, we can all say what we'd like to say, even if it's not very popular.

I disagree because it simply isn't true that this Biden's Fault if had won in 2020 you would have these same problems nor is he going to fix any of them. Hell, this is a guy who after 9 years of saying he has a healthcare plan can't even tell you what it is or how it's going to work.

Kamala Harris suggested during the election their should be some level of price controls on essentials everyone shouted that down as communism

That’s actually not the worst idea. Sexual assault by coyotes and other human traffickers is a thing.
