    all salient points but you missed the biggest one.

    Full Democrat control brought on a war on energy and thus, all prices rose from it.

    Democrat voters voted for this and thus must have wanted it.

    The alternative was mean tweets but an understanding of the private sector.

    The media pushed the false narrative and the dead, illegal and legitimate voters came out in waves and voted Democrat which resulted in the train wreck that we have today.

    Step number 1 is admission of a problem. Democrat voters need to get to step one

    That's facially ridiculous. In fact, it's laughable.

    Petroleum is a globally traded commodity.

    What's laughable is you thinking you have made an argument.. What does Petro being a globally traded commodity have to do with the fact that the Blue Energy policy succeeded in drastically reducing investment into the oil sector. Did you think oil grows on trees like all the money Biden is Printing ?

    And we were the #1 producer and #1 consumer, so do tell who controls that market.

    *LOL*

    Post a source for those claims, and then a source for how that = "controlling the market". You have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

    The OP is a clear example of rightists wanting big government to make life easier for them.

    Okay. I read the link in the OP, it says that a clear majority of people - and it doesn't name what party they are members of - are cutting back due to inflation. The comment from the OP is "In my opinion, it's high time that the media accept a lot of the blame for advising people to vote Democrat. No good ever comes from full Democrat control and the harm of that is now widespread. Democrat voters also need to accept the part they played in causing this train wreck." - so he's saying that this is the result of listening to a press which is in the tank for the DNC, and also says that voting for Dems never leads to anything good. Nowhere in any of this is any kind of argument that RW-ers want big government, much less that RW-ers want life made easy for anyone outside of the country needs relief from inflation. This is - I think the term is circular logic?

    "Rightists want big government to take care of them!"
    "Quote this."
    "The OP says so."
    "It doesn't say this."
    "Rightists want big government to take care of them!"

    I like you WS but I think your argument is deader than Amber Heards career.

    why do you argue every time a Democrat voter says.............."hey look, a squirrel" ?

    their votes brought upon this train wreck. The damage is everywhere except to DC insiders. What is sad is that they will again vote Democrat despite the harm that it causes.

    Now you're getting the point I was trying to make originally.

    You can't control this and folks are going to do what folks are going to do regardless of how much sense it actually makes. Best thing people can do for themselves is to learn some basic life skills and better financial responsibility to better prepare themselves for WHEN this happens again next time.

    So then the entire OP is a troll attempt to blame Democrats and Biden for Global inflation? The OP stated that voting Democrat is to blame for all the woes, yet didn't give any real examples of why he/she believes this other than typical rightists nonsense.

    So since the OP didn't give us any example on how Democrats & Biden are causing global inflation and links a poll that shows folks taking personal responsibility for their spending, what exactly does the OP want big government to do to help these people spend more money? I have to assume that is what the OP wants since he/she didn't give us any examples of what they believe the Democrats or Biden are doing to cause these folks to spend less.

    "Bidenomics: 83% of Americans cutting back on personal spending due to inflation, poll finds"

    good deal, inflation caused by excess spending, deflation is caused by reduced spending

    the right gonna have to get out and spend if they want inflation to continue on

    dumping many many trillions into the economy causes inflation

    Trump was on the verge of a recession in 2019... BEFORE COVID

    the fed doesn't do this during a great economy... that the economy was great pre-covid is one of the biggest lies the Republicans ever told.

    How does "reality" even have your number?

    I talk to "Reality" frequently. It tells me that I'm right all the time. Which is why I also call it "Capt. Obvious".

    I’m cutting back on everything else except maintaining my old gas engine car and driving it as many miles as I did before Let’s go Brandon became President.

    No it’s not. It is what Biden is doing with his energy, regulation, and tax policies

    it was all fake, dumping trillions into the economy to make it artificially high


    Trump was on the verge of a recession in 2019... BEFORE COVID

    the fed doesn't do this during a great economy... that the economy was great pre-covid is one of the biggest lies the Republicans ever told.

    Fake News. A recession is NEGATIVE economic growth. Trump's 2019 year was a solid 2.3% growth. In Obama/Biden's 8 years, they only managed to exceed this level 2 times. Are you claiming that Obama/Biden was on the "verge of recession" for 75% of their two terms?

    do you expect a rabid Democrat voter to accept responsibility for putting into power full Democrat control? They caused this train wreck.
