I guess I'm at a loss then why Trump was needed to fix it. Certain Harris would continue this pathway, right?
The banking system installed in 1913 created the conditions for inflation. And until they replace the ‘funny money’ with honest money everyone will go on blaming the other side for it.
During election years, incumbent presidents are routinely blamed for every societal ill during the previous four years. And almost nothing is riper for the picking than a significant rise in consumer prices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), prices are currently increasing at a rate of 3 percent year over year and peaked at 8 percent during President Biden’s term in 2022.
That is significantly higher “inflation,” as the BLS defines it, than American consumers have experienced in decades. But as economically harmful as many of President Biden’s policies may have been, no president can cause prices in general to rise. Neither can Congress or “greedy corporations.”
Incidentally, “inflation” as an economic term originally meant the creation of new money and credit, not rising prices. Those wishing to confuse the public on which is the cause and which the effect has gradually redefined inflation as rising prices. Check any hard copy Merriam-Webster dictionary printed in the 20th century and see for yourself.
Only the Federal Reserve can cause a general rise in prices and only when it creates new US dollars that didn’t previously exist (inflation).
The Fed's Fiat Money Is the Real Cause of Price Inflation | Mises Institute
Politicians say "greedflation," and profits are what fuels rising prices, but the real culprit is fiat money creation fueled by the central bank.
It was 2.3 trillion and some economist say he didn’t go far enough. Trump added 6.5 trillion with 2.3 trillion coming in COVID relief.
Biden added 7.9 trillion to the nation debt.
1/3 of our national debt has come from the two presidents. Those are the facts.
That might be the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. How pathetic.
What a pos Mother. They are little kids that should only worry about what they are going to do on the play ground or what’s for lunch. Elections or politics shouldn’t even be spoken about unless to teach them the time lines of an election or that our political leaders are picked by voting for a candidate.
When I was a kid, never heard my parents speak about politics in front of us or about the candidates. They wanted us to worry about being kids and taking care of our school work. And never heard negative or positive about election results, just another day and time to go back to work. Again, what a terrible set of patents.
I don't know that i'd go that far. In fact, i might go the opposite directions. At least in early childhood, kids should be taught that the president, and the presidency, is someone/thing to respect. They can figure out which ones they like and don't like later, but they need to understand appreciate the importance of the office first.
70% of Americans? May want to check your math there.
Hopefully this will be the republican administration that leaves the country better off than when they started. History says otherwise but that is just history.
My apologies 65% while only 28% said it was on the right track. Time to start reading something other than liberal news today.
Two-thirds of voters say the country is on the wrong track ahead of the 2024 election
The latest national NBC News poll finds 65% of voters say the country is on the wrong track, the first time since September 2022 that figure has dipped below 70%.
False premise. On average we are more educated but that doesn't make us "better", nor do I think so. The average gay democrat is wealthier.
There’s definitely a lot of smugness lately and it’s not the democrats. Talk about feeling superior.
Interesting theory. You hear 4-5 year olds in the south complain about liberals. They are taught early.

They polled 100% of the country?

Interesting how you guys continue to blame inflation on Biden. Inflation started in 2020. Trump played a major role. The correction to inflation already happened and we have been on the right trajectory for inflation since 2022. Trump ran on the promise of reducing grocery prices as if Biden was the reason they were high and that Trump had the solution. We will see soon that he does not have the magic formula for lowering prices.
So more of you go to college where you are groomed in a certain way? At least you did only say you were more educated and not better.

That’s how surveys work. You should probably realize it’s not to far off though considering who won the election. If you want to keep living in doubt that’s fine. Doesn’t affect me one bit.
Does the election even count then if it doesn’t include everyone legal to vote? The results don’t get everyones opinion.
Umm... yes? Wasn't aware of the requirement of getting everyone's opinion for an election to be valid.
That requirement does exist if you want to claim 70% of the country believes something specific.
This is a very good post.
Good job @Aardvark86
The hyberole and overreaction by both sides is exhausting.
The very short answer to all of this is there seems to be very few adults left in the room if you will. Agree to disagree with the person next to you and move on.
There is a severe shortage of self-accountability by society right now. Its impossible to put a tangible percentage on it, but I just personally feel there are a lot of problems people could fix about their lives my making different choices themselves (no I am not just talking about "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" either), regardless of who is in office, but yet its always easier to want to blame someone else (i.e. whoever is in office).
***and yes I do also realize there are indeed issues that people face that are directly related to who is in office as well
