    because there is no policy responsible for this, or the right would be screaming it from the rooftops every chance they got - and you're not, so there is that

    Interesting
    So, there's no way that could be the cause of worldwide inflation. Nooooo, it's Biden polices.

    I've already established your inability to think for yourself.

    Have a good day. You're just boring me now.

    Yeah having Europe totally dependent on Russian oil and doubling his economy played no role.

    Must be hard navigating the world looking through a paper towel tube.

    Sometimes I wonder how leftists have enough money for a computer.

    Of course the other side of that coin is that I know the same about you. Example: I said I'm ignoring your strawman question and you use your critical thinking skills to imagine that I googled your ridiculous strawman to get your imiaginary conclusion.
    You have told me everything I need to know about your ability to process information.........you can't.

    For this reason, I wish the democrats had kept the house. This way they'd have no excuse. As it stands, in 2024 you'll be hearing all about how it's the republican controlled house that didn't allow them to get anything done. That will be the reason they'll blame for the continued poor economy. Had they kept the house they wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse and I think there would've been a better chance of some realizing how destructive their policies are.

    despite what RW media blabs. the founders were all members of the enlightenment, meaning they believed in the growing wisdom of man as he learns, it is the left who follow suit, the right seems to believe in the "law of the jungle" the left took what was considered precautions to lesson the death rate among covid sufferers, nobody can say for sure whether this accomplished a whole lot, i have read the stereotypical RW posters say florida had a low death rate, which is false and there was/is much manipulation among politically appointed health services as well, nenerthe less enjoy reading RW trashing of the dems, namecalling etc, it lets me know i am on the correct path

    If the entire House and all 100 Senators were democrats they'd still do the same thing.

    We might not survive 4 years of that though.

    Look, you're really boring me so you just go do whatever it is you do.

    Yep, we really won't survive 4 years with Black Friday sales rising 12% year-over-year, much greater than inflation:

    I wonder why the OP isn't opening a thread about THAT. Oh, it doesn't fit his and your fear mongering and the "Biden did this" claptrap.

    Uh huh.

    What's the consumer debt at.

    Oh yeah everybody's dancing in the streets for $6 gas and 40% inflation.

    You must be kidding me, right?

    Excellent! The concession speech of the intellectually dishonest.
    I accept.
    When faced with facts and arguments to back them they always become deceptive, dodge, pretend to answer questions while not answering them,saying things that don't make sense but pretend they do. Sad but typical.

    Not really. It coule be they want to go overseas to manufacture the same products, but at a cheaper price. Or maybe they are wanting to hire a whole bunch of illegal aliens to perform the same work as US Citizens but at cheaper price. But not enough of the reasons is in the story. However, if it is financial and they file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then that is years in the making, not overnight Sec. You know that and I know that. It is just that inflation hastened the decision more quickly than anything else.

    Let me see if I got this right; real inflation is over 12%, closer to 18 or 20, and businesses made 12% more than they did last year. Do you see what I'm getting at?

    Math? Says the guy who claims the inflation rate is 40%. At least, use some numbers closer to reality, if you want to retain a modicum of credibility.

    I guess, however, that Trump has trained you well with his typical over-exaggerations. How can we expect our politicians to be honest when their voters are not honest?

    LoL. I don't remember exactly but I was probably talking about oil prices causing a 40% inflation driver across the board.

    Even the dummies at Vox know that much.

    https://www.vox.com/science-and-hea...ight-climate-change-end-fossil-fuel-inflation

    Or I could have been talking about the 40 year high on inflation. I dunno.

    You think whatever you want.

    Hey, at least we're not Germany.
