No 

 

 

It's not even a little bit debatable. It's the reality. It's why groceries are so expensive. 

 

Along with everything else. 

 

Mandates and energy policy.

That's a political argument. Not an economic one. 

 

You think the GOP should make Trump Speaker of the House?

It's the argument of how political policy affects our daily lives. An apple should be about .75¢. it now costs $1.40 because of energy policy. That affects me. 

 

And it's a direct result of you voting democrat, because I know you didn't like trump's face, or the way he talked. But he was good with business and was able to keep the economy flowing. By not being overboard in policy. 

 

That's the difference between conservative and liberal. Conservative allows things to run with efficiency, following past record of efficiency. 

 

Progressive is always trying to change things to find a better way. Well, right now progressive policy is making things worse. Much worse. 

 

So thanks alot

Prove that Republicans are better running the economy... do it.

 

 

 

 

What do you suppose that chart would look like had Hillary Clinton win in 2016 

I will give you one hunt. That chart would look different than it does now. Can you agree on that?

Child? You're the one making all these GRANDIOSE statements about Republican run economies and then when questioned you decided to deflect and play games because guess what? YOU COULDN'T BACK IT UP.

 

And yet... somehow, the most AMAZING ECONOMY EVER required a bailout (Mar 6, 2020) Trump signs $8.3 billion emergency spending package - right after Trump told us everything was (Jan. 22, 2020) “totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine” and (Feb. 10, 2020) “I think the virus is going to be—it’s going to be fine” and (Feb. 10, 2020) - “Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

 

Trump handed an absolute economic disaster to the next administration just like they always do.

 

Idiots.

What did Trump do that gives him the total responsibility for the economic “disaster” he handed the Biden Administration?

Look junior, enough with the gymnastics. Your baba of milk now costs $2.25 when it really should only be about $1.50 and you are to blame due to your voting choice. 

 

I get it, you didn't like the last guy. We are all aware.

 

But YOUR GUY's mandates and energy policies are why your baba is "inflated" 

 

 

 

Own it

I'm not crying about the cost of gas or milk - that's you.

 

You said: Conservative allows things to run with efficiency, following past record of efficiency. 

 

And yet - here you are bashing me because YOU can't support you own argument.

 

Own it, precious.

And Putin's invasion was just, what, a penny increase? Right? 

Gas was around $2 a gallon in late 2020 in Orlando, and now it is $4 a gallon. I only blamed Biden for half, but I know math is not your strong suit

It's not Biden's fault prices are high. The Saudis and Russians ramped up production in 2014 to drive our frackers out of business, along with other factors. Production because of higher prices in now ramping up. Supply and demand work both ways

You can try and keep telling yourself that....and even if you're right...his numbers are in the toilet because of it. They have to strike a new message, because the "Blame Putin Dog" doesn't hunt for the American people.

Oh no doubt Joe will get blamed. But that does not mean it's the truth of the matter. 

 

Do you think Trump will be elected Speaker of the House?

Republicans are talking about making Trump speaker if they win the House. Do you support that? Hey, maybe he could bring gas prices down, lol

I could care less about this inside the beltway junior high gossip. It's exactly why this country's in the trouble it's in.

The stunner is these liberals aren’t celebrating higher energy prices.  Artificially overpriced fossil fuels are the only real economic path to green nirvana. 

Yes! Smaller cars will lead to lower gas prices! 

 

Come on America! Conserve!

Smaller cars?? That’s not going to stop the climate emergency! Bicycles made from hemp and bamboo…. Now that’s progressive. We all know Only people in government should have fancy gas powered cars and jets.

Regardless of what your politics are: how governments are reacting to the bump in fuel prices shows how inept they are. 
Example: California is considering a $400 “rebate” per licensed vehicle. Let’s say fuel prices are up 2 bucks per gallon. Let’s also assume (for the consumer market) 25 miles per

gallon. That means Gov Newsom will defray the added cost of driving 5,000 miles. Do we want people to drive those 5,000 miles despite fuel costing 2 bucks a gallon more? Even setting aside environmental concerns, any economist would tell you the answer is “no.” “No” is how we get markets to reach a new fuel price equilibrium. Let’s not mess with supply/demand curves. 
Plus: I don’t know if it would be some kind of fuel gift card or whether it would be a straight $400 per licensed vehicle direct deposit. If the latter, people who could shift to alternate means of transportation would get a windfall to buy a new OLED TV. (3 cars = $1200). So would teleworkers. 
Or waiving the gas tax: the gas tax is a user fee. If you don’t drive a gas engine vehicle, you don’t pay. So road maintenance will come out of …. Sales taxes? State income taxes? Won’t be done? How does this help?

Sometimes it seems like we are

governed by the economically illiterate.

He did when he was the president but i don't think so as speaker ... But he may be a good speaker because he doesn't know enough to stop talking that's for sure !

Things get too expensive.  Just start stealing.  Dems won’t keep you in jail if you get caught.  Go out and steal more.  What a mess.  

If i lived in a liberal city I just might try that, I though live a reasonable city where people who do that get arrested or shot
