Inflation ran hotter than expected in February as high prices persist

Breaking news for you – UK, Italy , Germany, France , Canada , Japan are part of a planet called Earth. USA is also part of planet Earth.

 

The pandemic was four years ago, Biden the Miracle Worker chased all those nasty little viruses back to China - haven't your heard?

Nothing but restore 12 million jobs lost because of the pandemic and hand Biden, what should have been a slam dunk recovery plan.

. The subject of this thread is IN-FRIGGIN'-FLATION. Get a clue.

 

Let the Democrats continue to ignore inflation and sweep it under the rug. It will bite them in the general election. The question is, how much? It doesn't take much to buzz through $100 at the food store these days. You don't even need to buy a nice a cut of beef to get there.

The American citizens of all colors are hurting, but the Democrats don't give a rat's tail about them. Food, rent and home ownership costs are at all time highs. The Democrats are mostly concerned with giving illegal aliens free stuff, the pronouns you use toward the LBG+ community, prosecuting Donald Trump for anything they can think of and funding the war in Ukraine.

 

You said they’d have nothing on inflation. Now it has to be February?

 

get a clue why we have inflation

Spring - Summer of 2020 When Trump was President

 

Inflation was 9% in 2022 yet GOP lost the senate in midterm and barely gained 4 seat in the house. Oh GOP also lost two governorship in 2022 midterm.

It seems like American people understand why we have inflation or they have more important things in their mind like – democracy, pro-choice then $2 gas.

 

You don't have to tell me that the GOP is dead. The combination of political stupidity, the unpopularity of Donald Trump and Democrat sponsored voter fraud are fast making this a one party country.

 

Euh........ Yeah..... Because the idea is to demonstrate that the US rate is lower than most G7 countries.

Jesus.

Take an economics class.

Come back when it's done.

 

All I can say is:






A "yeah, but, Trump" defense is mindless jabberwocky.

 

You may not believe this, but I want a moderate and strong GOP as much as I want a moderate and strong Democrat. We need both parties to be strong but moderate.

 

you are right ‘But Trump” defense would be mindless if Trump was gone from American politics and only time we would see him is during national memorial service next to other former president.

Unfortunately Republican party nominated Trump to be POTUS again. So no longer it is “ why do you bring Trump in every subject” . Trump is now the center of US politics.

 

The subject of this thread is not to rehash Trump's term - it's about the humongous inflation we've suffered through since Biden took over. IF you want to compare Trump's performance on that topic, fine. But according BLS he averaged about 2.5% for his entire four years. Please stay on topic instead of waste space with unrelated and uninformative crap.

 

oh you want me to compare trump economy .. here it is

• The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%. Largest job lose by any US president in 100 years.
• The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
• The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
• The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.

now going back to inflation. the reason we have inflation today is because incompetent Trump didn't do anything when COVID-19 started. unlike W Bush or Obama, he didn't bring together WHO and CDC and world leader to address the issue. Unlike Bush and Obama, he didn't contain the spread of CIVID-19. Rather he was telling American " nothing to worry about , Corona virus will go away by Easter". Really ?

we have inflation because the world was shut down for 2 years. we have inflation because many small businesses in USA and around the world went out of business. We have inflation because MF putin started a war and skyrocketed the gas price.

But you sit here and bash Biden because that is the objective of the thread - bashing Biden regardless if it is true or not.

 

Radical Democrats breed radical right Republicans. The Democrat Party is completely controlled by radicals. There is no moderation in them on any issue. The border is dangerous, and the Biden puppet regime will do nothing to fix it, or even curb it in any way.

Unfortunately Donald Trump’s cult totally stuffed him down our throats. He has little chance of winning, and will probably bring the rest of the party down with him. This might be the last election with two viable parties. If the Democrats federalize the elections, they will control them from here on.

 

Food and energy are omitted from this figures. Your position is one of luxury. Im glad you are not affected, but those Dems to care the most about are having a hard time.

 

We produced a lot, but Biden kept the prices so high we had to sell it... Americans couldn't afford it.

 

Nothing gets cheaper.

 

What price should Biden set oil at?

 

As they are all over the world.

 

Those Dems claim to care about the most are worse off.

 

Except that's 3.2% on top of the 17% so far in the Biden era. That's not inflation, that's the rate of growth of inflation.

 

Dems claim they care most about the British and Germans?

 

Yeap go with that lol, makes sense that Biden couldn’t fix something that started four years ago. Incompetence is an understatement!

 

And you're blaming Biden. Why? What did Biden do to cause this?

 

Yeah, but what caused it to go from 5 to 18? Beef is home grown. Why the jump?
