    Yes, but the tax cuts DID create money out of thin air, since they weren't accompanied by spending cuts. That money was then used through the fractional reserve banking system to create even more money out of thin air, through the money multiplier. So, I am not sure why you don't worry about that one, but you worry about Biden's spending. At the end it doesn't matter where the debt-based money creation is coming from, be it through tax cuts or government spending programs, it always creates a short term boom with a long-term hangover through debt deflation, recession or inflation, or a combination of those.

    Hey, if you want to keep calling me a liar, this discussion will be over soon. Since I am not cherry picking data to support my point, but you are. I have given data from CA, because my guess is that if you currently pay $6.50 for gas, it must be in CA. So, it is deceptive of you to compare today's gas price in CA with the NATIONAL average cherry picked from a year and month that is supporting your partisan mud slinging.

    BTW: Looking at your link: Gas was even cheaper in 2016 compared to 2017. Why didn't we hear praises of Obama back then, for keeping the gas price low?

    You missed the point. Psaki was a political propagandist.

    They allowed people to keep more of their money but they didn't create any money. Money is created by government SPENDING it into existence.

    Banks do not create money. That is MMT nonsense and you shouldn't fall for it. Debt doesn't create money either. Government does that. Sorry it is all about government.

    Dead wrong. Cutting taxes doesn't create money. It just changes who has some of it to spend. Government creates the money by spending funds it doesn't have. We do have a spending problem but that is what voters want. Voters are dead wrong about that.

    MMT is a very minority theory and it is nonsense. Banks cannot create money. They can only create debt. Creating debt doesn't change the amount of money in the economy. It changes assets and liabilities with the same amount of money. Accounting entries. No more money.

    Trump: $3.00
    Biden: $6.50

    The Biden Administration is intentionally making gas prices go higher but they wanted them to keep dropping so their fellow "Democrats" could get elected. The Green New Deal is a deal that benefits the wealthy and China. Class warfare.

    Let's get a little more factual here. at this link can check actual avg price by month. America's average price was below $2.69 throughout the Trump administration, today it's $3.87 and we're draining out Strategic reserves, thanks Brandon. Oh and this is from Biden's Energy Department.https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG&f=W

    Biden and the Dems have been an inflation disaster.

    "We Peaked A Little Early" - Democrats' Hope Turning To Despair
    [​IMG]
    “I think it’s clear Republicans have seized the upper hand," says Democratic operative

    They were doing fine until Crazy Biden's Red Semi-Nazi speech on 9/1/22 shocked the nation with his open vile slander of political opponents as "Enemies of the State." Dems could have probably saved themselves if they has promptly repudiated his slander, but to the shock of the Electorate, they cheered!

    Speak that horribly of your fellow Americans simply for seeing things differently and they deserve the rebuke that is coming.

    '22 DAYS UNTIL THE MIDTERMS.
    If you want UNLIMITED ABORTIONS, vote Democrat.
    If you want a return to an affordable cost of living, vote Republican!'

    'A Harvard/Harris poll released on Monday found 53% of voters say they're more likely to vote for a Republican, compared to 47% who favor Democrats.'

    GOP +6?

    The signal to return to sanity is felt throughout the electorate: 'Mark Longabaugh, a Democrat ad maker and veteran of the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign, tells' Politico:

    '“Look, man, I’ve been at this for 30 years, and it is always the period in late September and early October when an election starts to tilt and move. So, we’re at that moment, and I don’t think you can look at these numbers across the country and say anything but it looks like it’s moving in Republicans’ direction.”

    'RealClearPolitics now puts Dr. Oz in the lead in Pennsylvania, after adjusting for historical polling errors, and projects a 52-48 GOP Senate majority.'

    [​IMG]
    Betting Odds flip back to GOP Senate control this morning and have moved to 56% to 44% as of now.

    “I think it’s clear Republicans have seized the upper hand," says Longabaugh.

    And they will be good for ALL Americans.

    I guess we know who he most admires and wants to be like. At least he isn't hiding it anymore. Hiss team most likely wanted to keep it hidden a bit longer to keep duping the public into thinking he was working for them.

    Inflation is not a world-wide phenomenon. It's the central banks of each nation racing to keep up with the money printing of the United States because the last thing any of them want is a strong currency that guts their exports - and their economies. As goes the US, so goes the world.

    The Fed is a political beast that serves to monetize the deficit when no one else wants to buy. And buyers have been scarce while deficits have been growing exponentially.

    Just as progressives are brainwashed into believing that paper is money and government can create wealth by printing it.

    Well ofcourse it’s going to get worse, this democrat instigated recession has damages that will last decades. And will likely not be corrected for awhile.

    Nobody believes Biden and the Dems on this, or, on much of anything else.
