What is the Republican Policy that will stop inflation?

I'm a registered Republican (so I can vote in primaries) but in all actuality I'm a libertarian.
We're already there, dummy.
Giving people money so they don't know it isn't helping the situation.
The Fed is already doing your plan, in part. They don't want to kill the economy, but by slowly increasing interest rates they are slowly reducing the rate of loans being issued which reduces economic activity which reduces inflation.
Yes. And, the Dems are undermining it by calling for and passing more spending.
This is bullshit. You dummies act like Republicans don’t spend. We tell you what you’re going to say ahead of time. Democrats are the only ones who ever balance the budget. You’re literally wrong about every one of your political takes.
Hey, Huey is correct for once.
Now if the government will stop injecting new money into the economy maybe the fed's strategy has a chance to work.
Student loan forgiveness is an example of the last thing the government should be doing right now.
I wish you’d change your moniker. I like that character
Some suggestions:
- Karl
- Bernie Bro 729
- Jimmy Carter Fan
- Joe Biden’s fictional backstory

Still no Republican plan. Wanting to cut spending has been a Republican myth since Reagan. Cons spend. Always have.

We're probably not in a recession. Private market spending is up, labor is up, many markets are still red hot. It's hard to claim a real recession with that stuff going on.
I don’t care. I don’t give a crap about a political party. I care about efficiently running a business that leaves everyone satisfied in the end. Right now- everyone isn’t satisfied. Abortion! Guns! 1/6! are all meaningless to me. This country runs on businesses. And this administration has left me in a shitstorm from hell.
Probably not. Though, Nick Locarno would kick Tom’s ass. Maybe I should change my moniker to that. I’d totally get into nova squadron.
JFC. Again, what “plan” should they have? The only thing they can do is stop the Alzheimer’s patient from signing more CCP takeover bills.
Red hot? Lmfao that’s how I know you’re an SSI only individual. You can go out and by government bonds right now (at a limited level) that have decent returns, and that’s it folks.
The plain truth is that we're already doing what we can to curb inflation. Fed is increasing interest rates, government spending is going down. Beyond that, it's a waiting game. What we definitely don't need is an over compensation to take our -0.6% into a -7 or 8% by over reacting. Entertaining what bandit and trad want would take us to these depths.
Housing inventory is still low. Same with the car inventory. Same with oil. Demand for these markets is still outstripping supply. Hard to claim recession with that going on.
I’m sure. I just know Republicans are full of crap whenever they mention spending. They don’t fool me. Massive spenders since Reagan. Most going to military contractors, and bailouts for wealthy people. PPP was wasteful spending because millions were stolen by Mnuchin and Trump and siphoned to corporations. Republicans are completely full of it when they cry about cutting Democrat spending. Again, it’s right up there with they’re coming for your guns, lies. Idiots believe the same effing lies for decades.
We have a Nintendo like low for unemployment right now. In states like Iowa there is still a massive deficit of workers vs job openings. The labor market is insanely strong right now. None of that signals recession.
Not passing more spending would take us to these depths? Not giving away tax dollars to pay off peoples’ personal loans? Not spending billions on DEI? This would surely sink us further?
Fing housing? Are you insane? Housing hit its peak awhile ago and it’s only down from here near-term. You hear that everyone? If you can’t buy groceries, just buy some houses and cars. Solid returns there.
Hey, I agree. Ppp was largely wasteful. But, it did save a bunch of mainstream america jobs. Of course, had the country behaved like Florida, it wouldn’t have been necessary.
They just fired what few fiscal hawks they had remaining during their primaries. If they think the Walker and Oz's of this world will balance any budgets, they are sorely mistaken.
Housing prices are still going up. That's a sign demand is still outstripping supply.
No, it’s a sign that every fing thing you buy in this country is going up. Real estate flattened (in real terms, dm me if you don’t know what that means) months ago. Hell, probably early spring.
No, they're really not.
"Asking prices" have increased much more slowly, but they're not dropping.
"Selling prices" are a different story.
You're claiming the Rs can fix inflation. My question is how? The GOP threw out all their fiscal hawks. So who will do the actual lifting to curb spending? Because all that remains are a bunch of Trumpers which you have already said worthless are when it comes to deficits.
Well now you’re getting to why I feel entirely unrepresented by our gov. I am claiming Dems are a bigger economic problem than republicans but neither are good.
Inventory is still near record lows. And that is unlikely to change which is why experts say a crash is very unlikely. Even with slowing price increases, they are still increasing.
Again, "asking prices" are rising more slowly.
"Selling prices" are declining.
Today's mortgage rates basically knocked $100,000 off of the prospective buyer's price range.
It going to take a month or two for the data so shake out, but it's not good.
Everything is going up because of demand. Only when supply is greater than demand will prices go down.
