    Biden started this huge shitball rolling downhill on day 1 with this:

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...limate-crisis/

    There was no significant inflation before Biden took office.

    He got in there like a monkey fucking everything he possibly could up.

    Including the Afghanistan withdrawal deal with The Taliban.

    The price of fuel is tied to everything and rising fuel costs is what Biden set in motion on his 1st day in office.

    I'm not. If you're reread, you'll see that in the response above I considered both the possibility that the money would be more productive if taxed, and that it would be more productive if untaxed. Although I think some things are better handled through the government, I think others are better handled through the market.
    it's not your place to consider how all money is used.

    thats the central planner arrogance. now run along and go fuck yourself.

    Right, and the geocentric theory is still relevant, been at it two years now and after umpteen lawsuits, busted conspiracies, investigations, audits, recounting and recounting again, nothing to prove anything you believe

    When Trump’s own personal fixer, the Roy Cohen Trump sought, who defended Trump to ludicrous ends, even got him a push on the Mueller Report, after instructing his field ageists to find fraud, said the election was not crooked and Trump lost fair and square, that was it, game over

    And the irony is Trump is already playing the same Big Lie again, telling Oz to do the same in Pennsylvania, declare yourself the winner, and if you lose, it was cause you were cheated

    Democrats would be considered conservative in most of the world. They are the closest to being pragmatic moderates, and they have the success that you would expect pragmatic moderates to have. Meanwhile, Republicans would be considered extremists, outside the mainstream in most of the world.

    America has an economy very dependent on consumers, so the Republican anti-middle class policies hurt all the economy even more than expected.

    So, Biden is responsible for GLOBAL INFLATION?

    That's a fairly partisan take.

    Inflation was inevitable after COVID - and it's global. Most people are blaming Biden, but most people don't know much about economics.

    democrats have always been the same. Even with their past they are proud enough of it to not even try and change the name. Once again you limp wristed racist, you are proud of that heritage. Typical welfare collecting, dumb fuck white racist liberal.

    Most people are fairly intelligent. The same "most people" that are blaming Biden because that IS where the blame lies.

    judges are corrupt.

    the evidence was clear.

    you can't always rely on masonic corrupt judiciary to sell your lies.

    that's all coming to an end.

    not suprising.

    innately, she's cretinesque.

They just move money from one pile to another, so the key question is how well that money gets spent in either pile. If, for example, you cut taxes and as a result the private sector spends money less productively than it was being spent in the public sector, and the GDP growth rate falls, that's bad. If, instead they spend it more productively and GDP growth rates rise, that's good.

    Still, there are other ones I can think of that aren't economic. I spoke to teen birth rates, already, above. Murder rates and incarceration rates are also good indicators to look into. Maybe infant mortality rates?
    You honestly believe the private sector spends money more foolishly than the government???? That is beyond ludicrous!

    No, it isn't. No matter how bad a President is - they can't create global inflation within a few weeks. And the underlying current of inflation was already rolling when he took office.

    A better argument if you're determined to blame Biden would be that he made domestic inflation worse than it needed to be, even though it was inevitable. But saying he created global inflation in a few weeks is as partisan as takes get.
