    Facts matter. Your dollar is worth 20% less because of Joe Biden’s inflation. Democrats’ reckless spending created inflation. Jimmy Carter and then Biden topped it.

    the biggest culprits have been tariffs under Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0

    tariffs caused inflation, as articulated again and again by Fed Chair Jerome Powell

    Inflation is at a low level - around 3%. Tariffs have had far less of an impact than liberal economists predicted. Biden’s fiscal policy blunders were far and away the biggest cause of inflation. Nothing else is close. Your knowledge of the economy is at a grade school level — maybe lower!

    GOOD DAY

    So you want to give another extension to the temporary COVID-emergency subsidies? You know that's what you are asking for right? Do you think we are still in a COVID emergency, my guy?

    Your type of thinking (spend spend spend forever) is what drove inflation. $2 trillion/year budget deficits that caused a record-breaking expansion in money supply. More dollars means each one is worth less. Which means it costs more dollars to buy the same good or service. Which is the definition of inflation.

    Your post makes me ask: Why are liberals such slow learners?



    GOOD DAY

    slow? That implies they do learn.

    Obama —> Hillary —> Biden -> Harris —> Watz. AOC, crockett and Newsome are the front runners for the next election.

    ACA subsidies were extended in 2022 outside of covid. Your dumbass cult hero gave argentina 40 billion dollars which wouldve been the amount needed to cover the subsidies. Government spending is up and the deficit is up from last year.

    It's just hilarious how the MAGA cult have audacity to cry about spending while their cult hero is spending like a drunk sailor

    1. The Argentina investment will be a home run and will pay back in multiples.

    2. Extending the COVID-era healthcare subsidies would cost $350 billion according to the CBO... and that's just for 10 years... you know the liberals will push to either re-extend them after the 10 years, or simply make them permanent... so well over a trillion dollars is the cost. Not $40 billion. Your math skills are laughable, amigo! Low level debater -- can we start a junior varsity D&D forum for you to learn in?

    1. The Argentina peso has already lost 5% of its value since we opened a currency swap line with Argentina thus by definition we have already lost money on the trade. Again your dumbass conspiracies work on low iq individuals like @Space Ghost but with anyone with half a brain.

    2. Democrats did not ask for a permanent extension. They requested a one year extension which cost 35 billion. Your cult hero gave a trillion dollars to the Pentagon and 5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich but sure 35 billion is too much.

    I'm actually glad the aca subsidies didnt get extend. I sold my business betting they wouldnt be extended and I was spot on. The Republicans are going to get absolutely destroyed in the midterms cuz of it.

    You certainly hope that the American people suffer greatly during the Trump presidency because you love the corrupt elite in the Washington Cartel far more than you love poor and middle-class Americans and you want Cartel members like Gavin Newsome to rule!

    You cared nothing about Americans who suffered under the corrupt Biden Regime.

    Let me guess; you too are an atheist.
