The scamdemic has destroyed our economy for years to come. It was the lube for the great reset.

YEAR JAN FEB MAR
2022 7.5 7.9 Available April 12
2021 1.4 1.7 2.6
2020 2.5 2.3 1.5
2019 1.6 1.5 1.9

Looks to me like the spike in inflation is due to the Biden disaster.

[ComputerGuy]

In raw dollar terms, we’ve seen a 42% increase in the money supply in a mere 24 months.

Say What?!?!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Inflation is a direct result of every government policy enacted since Biden was sworn in. i.e. pumping the economy with funny money, and restricting the supply of fossil fuels.

The totally bogus and unnecessary lockdown in and of itself should not have been inflationary. It's all the ancillary "gubmint po'grums" which fuel inflation. Pumping the economy with BS "stimulus" and "lockdown" checks was so obviously a recipe for disaster. Throw in an artificial scarcity of gasoline and diesel for "good measure".

[I want the USA back]

Trump had brought back prosperity. Record numbers of people were working. Gas prices were low. The democrats hated that and decided to destroy it, using the pandemic as an excuse. Immediate lockdowns with businesses forced to close. Trumps’ economy was gone.

To appease us, they sent money. I predicted its inflationary effect.

A month ago interest in the contrived covid crisis was waning. They needed something new to keep us in check. Voila Ukraine! All the problems could now be blamed on putin.

I now realize that everything that is splashed on the front page of papers and shouted at us as “breaking news” is phony. All of it.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "The Fed inspired the addition of some $6 trillion to the supply of money, nearly a dollar-for-dollar match of what the politicians were promising. All appearances of science aside, it was nothing but the crudest deployment of a classic tale of monetary devaluation: print instead of tax."

The simple and obvious end game for this Ponzi scheme will be its collapse. And the solution is equally simple. Bankrupt the Fed, abrogate the national debt on a one time gambit, and then re-form from a free market standpoint.

[KTM rider]

There was a coup

The USD lost world reserve currency status at the same time

The globaist puppet in the white house announced that food shortages are certain

the only way to turn this around will involve violent overthrow of the globalist bureaucracy, the US politicians are merely useful idiots for the G7

buh bye to the USA we all thought we knew

There is another option: secession.

[Sacajaweau]

Screwing the kids out of a couple years of their life with their friends...I'll never forgive the government.

I hope people realize it was just a lesson to the children...If the government says so...you must obey.

I hope parents will again get to choose what's best for their children.

And prepare for it...we may be asked to work at home to save energy if they get in office again.

Same for schooling...

Be prepared...While it may save energy, in most cases, school and work is our social life. Be careful what you ask for.

[KTM rider]

But that would also involve violence and can only be successful after a military scism and physical purge of the foreign enemies that are presently inside the US government

I really don;t think it ill ever happen, the kids are brainwashed to be submissive,wear muzzles and take jabs of poison, drunk on COVID cult worship, video games and porn

This fracking and looting of the USD all started accelerating with Obama and was temporarily delayed under Trump

now the confounder in cheif is announcing that food shortages are certain

[KTM rider]

Next on the agenda is “food shortages”

[MNJohnnie]

Lol, this Deocrat stoodge, along with the rest of the Demcorat party, spent 2020 and 2021 blaming Trump for “not doing enough”

Now they want to blame Trump for the disaster their bad polciies created!

Say Biden Apologists

Was it Trump or Putin that told Biden to say this in 2020?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Well, duh.

[Theoria]

Trump and Biden were lockstep on spending. There was never any indication Trump wanted to spend less. Pre covid Trump and crew were deficit spending almost a Trillion a year. Energy policies, immigration, etc is were they differ.

[Bonemaker]

No..it’s direct damage from Biden’s war on energy.

[Alberta's Child]

I made a conscious decision — even against the scolding stupidity of Branch Covidians here on FR — to ignore the lockdown orders in March 2020. I kept my business running exactly as I did before, with the notable exception of client interactions where web/online meetings replaced in-person meetings.

2020 was the best year I ever had.

2021 was even better than 2020.

Sometimes you have to protect yourself by ignoring outrageous totalitarian edicts.

[anton]

Nonsense. It is due to the trillions of unfunded federal spending.

[Alberta's Child]

The totally bogus and unnecessary lockdown in and of itself should not have been inflationary.

What made it inflationary was that people who were sent to work from home suddenly had an enormous decline in personal expenses even while they had no corresponding drop in income.

The end result was that people stopped spending money on things like clothing, haircuts, movie tickets, restaurants, etc. … and ran out to purchase things like furniture, home electronics, home improvement projects, etc. The inflation is directly tied to the huge increase in consumer demand for this latter group of things.
