    We all know inflation is Biden's fault.

    He's causing inflation everywhere. In Canada, it's 6.8%, and in the UK, inflation is 9%!!!!!!

    All because Biden refuses to give more leases for oil companies and giving $1,400 to poor people!

    The world is very mad at Biden. No more excuses. no more blaming it on Russia and Covid for "supply chain disruptions". It's time he takes the blame. Also, inflation is still happening in the universe, and our universe is expanding in an accelerating rate. This can not be sustained for obvious reason. What is Biden doing this? Why isn't he working with the oil companies to let them drill for dark energy?

    People blaming Biden are just looking for a reason, and have no idea how economies work - record profits for oil companies have more to do with inflation than anything the President did or does.

    I know why it gets its hate and some of it is deserved for sure. But it does have its perks I won't lie - if you are into water sports its fantastic.

    I was in West Palm Beach 2 weeks ago for a meeting...........it was awesome! We got to hit the beach one night and I was awe struck when we flew in and I looked down at the beautiful blue water. Kudos....I saw lots of old folks with their trump shirts and I didn't realize I was that close to trump`s residence :eek:

    Don't worry too much. The seawater dilutes the syphilis and you're unlikely to contract it.

    Normally, I'd agree with you but
    Trump shutting down NAFTA which disrupts all North America trade has an impact.
    Trump imparting tariffs on China driving up prices for electronics and raw materials such as steel has an impact.
    Trump going hog wild against illegal immigration impacting farm and factor workers has an impact.
    Trump gutting the infection disease department in the white house delayed our response to covid, surely had an impact.

    Each of these items, which don't have immediate impacts, but certainly plays a role into what's happening today. Is it precisely measurable? Hard to say but it's obtuse to say the items above are meaningless.

    They don't go into the water.

    Although I did see a kayaker struggling to get his Trump flag on a pole to stay up while he paddled. Guess he lost his American flag.

    The 2 Cares acts plus PPP small biz assistance added more a trillion or so in the money supply and kept up demand, but I can't imagine not spending any of that money at all.

    People like to think the government can fix natural disasters like hurricanes or covid by throwing money at it, but there's really no way to tell how much is too much or even if it made a difference at all.

    Question here is would you rather "feel right" about containing inflation where government spent nothing, let small biz and homeowners fail...or "complain endlessly" about rising inflation despite keeping your home/biz and getting a raise despite rising prices.

    If people like to b**** that things aren't perfect, then I'm guessing they'd riot in the first scenario...

    Given the choice of **** sandwiches and the amount of debt we have at all levels, deflation is way worse than stagflation.
