    Putting too much air in the tires. Sorry, we all get one joke per day.

    But seriously, Exxon posted one of its greatest profits last year.

    A combination of excessive borrowing and spending by government during an economic shutdown that should never have happened,

    With Biden in office, a release of agencies to start massively producing new regulations and rules that had been on hold or canned previously,

    Piss poor response to economic issues where government had a major role like in transportation and ports,

    Bad planning and execution on energy by Biden,

    Pushing the greentard agenda. Nothing drives up prices and creates scarcity like greentard stuff does.

    It was that plus 12 years of pumping money into the economy, about 6 years too many.

    Guess who ended QE? There were Republicans screaming for all 8 years of the Obama administration that it was going to cause inflation. Trump thought that also, its why he refused to end it....

    Biden bit the bullet and ended it, resulting in inflation.

    Always blames Democrats, never the Republicans or, especially, Trump.

    Sane, honest people can look at how other First World nations handled the Pandemic to see what worked best.

    Russian aggression and a pandemic for the most part

    Oil companies gouged and then other corporations used the energy cost rises to do some gouging themselves

    Too much dollar making, too low of interest rates, and COVID Martial Law.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    Interest rates were historically low for way too long. Money was cheap so we had too much money chasing too little products.
    Thus inflation.

    In fact, Putin's war slashed the availability of gas and oil. That is the big problem. Oil prices make transportation and shipping a lot more expensive.
    Of course, the Putin/Trump war cut available food to the world. That raised food prices. That too filtered through the economy adding costs along the way. There was no way to put a lid on inflation with that going on.
    It is slowing down now because alternatives have slowly shown up.

    Not a business guy so I don't know what QE is but once our government started simultaneously cutting taxes (revenue) and spending more money under Bush the Lesser, our debt has rapidly increased.

    Those are all the things that saved America, gave us a chance, and kick-started the economy!
