You misspelled all inflationary spending is detrimental which is precisely why we shouldn’t be doing any of those things

Trump spent but grew gdp accordingly.
He kept debt to gdp flat.

Not really true.

No, it wasn't. Trump's fiscal years were '18, 19 before Covid. That is not a flat line in the graph for those years.

Why is it so hard for Trump superfans to acknowledge the painfully obvious? Trump sucked sweaty Pelosi balls fiscally. Doesn't mean he's not the equally painfully obvious choice for rightminded Americans this November, but it doesn't do anybody any good to fantasize he's something he's not. Trump is a big government Republican.

Your "good" take is that inflation "has never slowed"? Care to show your work? It's a preposterous claim on its face.

I actually think the fed needs to raise rates a qtr point at the next meeting to just flush out the sticking points

4th qtr, plan for up to half point cut

Noting that 74% of respondents in a recent poll said they felt inflation in the “past year” was going in the wrong direction, author Greg Ip noted flatly “it’s not true,” adding:

I’m not stating an opinion. This isn’t something on which reasonable people can disagree. If hard economic data count for anything, we can say unambiguously that inflation has moved in the right direction in the past year.


I liken it to being cut. Consumers were being cut 8 times per day, now they are being cut "only" 3 times per day and some economists. journalists and admin officials are flummoxed that consumers aren't happy about the reduction in times they are being cut. Meanwhile, the real issue they are missing while focusing on this is that consumers don't want to continue being cut at all.

This drooling retard actually believes the shite that comes from the Biden administration and obviously doesn't go to the grocery store or buy gas.

You really feel like we're trending into recovery?

There’s a word for it: Stagflation. Welcome to the 1970s.

You beat me to it and I remember it well.

These young guys have no clue about the economic shite show we're entering into. They think interest rates, has prices, unemployment, etc., is bad now .... we're about to enter into really nasty territory.

We're nearing Cloward-Piven Strategy end game.

The DEMs would be essentially guaranteed to take everything in 2024 in a landslide, had they let Trump own this post-Covid inflationary era.
How would they go about letting Trump own it?

This stagflation was basically inevitable. He'd have been President for all of it (up to this point)
