    And you're fixated on the misconception that politic con's are a one party problem ;)

    It's ideology like that, that's Givin way to the government and Country we see today.. Being mired in Left, Right finger pointing is the problem and it will never solve the problem..

    Inflation is created by there being too much money chasing too few services and products. Trump and the Democrats created the current inflation with free handouts. Each individual was given a total of $3,200 in stimulus checks and each child another $2,500. Add to that $600 a week above what an individual would normally be paid for 39 weeks of Unemployment Insurance. Then another 50 weeks at $300. Compound that by the supply chain shortages, and you're talking about real money. What did people do with that money? Did they pay their overdue rent? No, they used the money to buy things the really did not need. That created the supply chain crisis.

    So, the FED chairwoman, who is not a Republican by any measure of the word, started raising interest rates to reduce the amount of money on the streets. All that has done is to stagnate the level of inflation, but it is not reducing it. That is because the DNC is on a printed money spending spree. It will take a conservative President to right the ship (no pun intended).

    I don't think so. You are reading WAY tooo much into that.

    Under Biden, I have had all that and more, including getting my sleep back, but not so under Agent Orange.

    yes, Covid related global supply issues caused prices to rise

    The FED dumped trillions into the economy in 2019 to keep the Trump economy afloat, before covid, then covid hit right after, double whammy

    He wasn't in politics until 2016. He's ALWAYS been a con man. YOU put in political terms. Hardly justifies your point. In fact, it makes it worse.
    YOU brought it up. I only mentioned the character of Trump.

    No
    It's main cause, in this case, is supply problems. Too much money is not a problem.
    Um......no.

    Politics is all you want to play. We know the Repubs are hard at work thwarting government. These are the same folks who created the speaker debacle last month. Repubs can't manage to administrate, legislate, or do anything positive for the American people. They have demonstrated this in spades this year.

    1) The FED "Chairwoman" you are talking about is actually secretary of the Treasury. The FED Chairman, Jerome Powell, was nominated by Trump, just saying.

    2) A conservative president to right the ship? How? With another tax cut? It takes a certain type of belief to think that Trump and the likes will get the deficit under control, when "conservatives" spent more in four years under Trump than in any presidency in the past.

    Dems Fear This One Simple Question Will Doom Biden

    “Were you better off four years ago than you are now?”

    'This is the most important question ever asked in a presidential debate. During the final week of the 1980 presidential race between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and GOP nominee Ronald Reagan, the two candidates held their sole debate on October 28.'

    'Reagan used his closing remarks to look into the camera and ask Americans the question — one that became the defining moment of the election: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”'

    'He then followed with: “Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we’re as strong as we were four years ago?”'

    'President Donald Trump and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use variations of those questions to pummel Biden. And with good reason.'

    I asked the posters on the Left over a year ago: "What is the value of Bribed Joe if a year from now he is trailing The Trumpster outside of the margin of error? They did not seem to think such an eventuality was even possible:

    General Election: Trump vs. Biden vs. Kennedy vs. West vs. Stein Harvard-Harris
    Trump +9.

    Not sorry you feel that way but it's rude to say I don't understand something and imply that it's too complex to explain. That is simply a dodge to show you can't defend your position. It's that simple. If you find it "rude" to be called out on that.......not my problem. Get a better argument.

    Whatever gets you thru this life. But how many folks you know take a job for 4 or 8 years of their lives and come out multi millionaires with full retirement. A couple of mansions on prime real-estate and more...

    Time to be honest with yourself, the whole bunch of them are corrupt ;)
