    As you said, "He sure as f*** aint helping". So that's an acknowledgement that he didn't actually create this problem.

    Just for giggles, please list for us which countries on earth are currently paying less for gas right now?

    Domestic production increases the supply for everybody, not just the U.S. I'm sophisticated enough to know that more than one factor causes inflation, but I am also smart enough to see that Biden's policies and spending have led to it being out of control, and that is point. Linear thinking libtards like you want to just look backwards to prior administrations and blame them, and solely them, for your life sucking now even though it was your own man you voted for that is doing the most damage.

    Again, US inflation is no where near the highest, globally. So to take inflation is "out of control" is not looking at the broader context.

    Linear thinking? I believe, sir, it was you whom lays full responsibility on the current administration ...while ignoring all international and historical factors, as has been laid out here. That is the definition of "linear thinking." :p

    I'm willing to acknowledge that Biden's (bi-partisan) spending bills may have contributed ...but to what extent? I'm sure Biden isn't 100% responsible. The best you had was "He sure as f*** aint helping", which is far less than causation.

    Every President gets the credit for or the heat for how the economy is doing during their time in office even though the status of the economy is largely affected by considerations that preceded them or entirely out of their control. Sucks for Biden but thats just how it goes.

    Inflation is horrible around the globe, this is not just a US problem. It's supply side not demand.

    Biden should cut tariffs for sure. But no president can magically stop shortages for chips nor can they tell people to stop buying things that are in shortage.

    Morons, lunacy. sanctimonious high horse, brainless parrots......SMH

    There are crazies on both ends of the spectrum but you can't generalize all Democrats with those type terms. Everyone has their reasons for voting Democrat vs Republicans. In reality you can find those types you mentioned in both parties.

    Why do you call Democrats Libtards? Who started that term anyway? Some middle school kid who thought it was cute because it rhymed with the horrible term re*ards?

    None of these issues existed while he was Prez. Sorry.

    Do you give Biden credit for the low 3.6% unemployment rate which is close to a 50 year low?

    So he blames Covid and Ukraine for his inflation woes. Covid was here way before this started and Ukraine happened months after this started. Buck doesn't stop with him. He's already pointing fingers.

    What got the ball rolling was the increase in gas prices. He got that going when he shut the pipeline down. While it was more of a psychological effect, it got the ball rolling. Check gas price increase vs the day he took office (and cancelled the pipeline). Pretty sure they wanted gas prices to go up so that it would "force" people to get electric cars but that's just speculation on my part. Clueless politicians - we don't have the grid to support that. Then add to that they want to nix coal and nuclear. While that would be nice, how will you charge your car? CA already has rolling blackouts. Imagine a rolling blackout, followed by fire and you need to leave. How fast can you run?

    Dems - if you can still afford it, you better get some KY because you're going to need it come November.

    Everyone had jobs already, no need for growth. Biden's growth is related to post lockdowns which were pushed by dems in the first place.
