Let’s discuss plans to bring down inflation. Who has one and who doesn’t.
No Plan to Deal With Inflation
According to Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent for Politico, Biden will go after Republicans for not having a plan to deal with inflation.
"Expect Biden to step up his attacks on the GOP. An administration official told Eugene this weekend that we can expect to see Biden be a bit tougher on Republicans for taking credit for an infrastructure bill that some voted against, and for not having a plan to bring down inflation."
Hoot of the Day
That wins my hoot of the day award easily. I thought about having a Hoot of the Month, but there is still time left for something even more ridiculous.
History suggests we won't be disappointed.
Fact Check Questions
Which party has the White House, the House, and the Senate? What the heck is Biden's plan? If he has one, is it working?
Eight Inflationary Things
1.Build Back Better
2.Clean energy
3.Student debt cancellation
4.Eviction moratoriums
5.Push for more unions
6.Push for higher wages
7.Tariffs and sanctions
8.Free Money
The Biden administration is guilty of all eight.
To be fair, Biden mostly continued Trump's tariff policy but Biden did increase the lumber tariffs on Canadian lumber that Trump started.
Amazingly, Biden believes Build back better is not inflationary. Fortunately, Senator Joe Manchin saw through the smoke screen and blocked the deal.
Doing Everything to Drive Prices Up
On March 22, I noted Biden Doing Everything Possible to Drive Up the Price of Oil, Some of It's Illegal.
Oil Prices Jump Again, Hello Mr. President, What Will You Do For an Encore?
On March 31, 2022, president Biden announced release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to lower gas prices. Relief was short lived.
For discussion, please see Oil Prices Jump Again, Hello Mr. President, What Will You Do For an Encore?
On April 1, 2022 Phil Flynn and I discussed numerous Biden proposals to lower the price of gas and whether or not they will work.
Flynn noted Biden planned to release more oil from the reserves than was physically higher than the pipeline capacity!
November 21, 2021 Flashback
On that date I correctly stated Biden's Foolish Effort to Reduce Oil Prices by Tapping Reserves Will Fail.
The price of crude on November 21, 2021 was $76.20.
Republican Plan
Republicans would propose more deregulation and more drilling here. Biden asked Saudi Arabia to pump more. Biden even courted Venezuela. That was my hoot of the day on that date.
Any plan (Even None at All) would do better than the Biden administration's plan.
Four Measures of Inflation
Consumer Price Index data from BLS, PCE data from the BEA, chart by Mish
Real Hourly Wages Dive Again in March, Negative for 13 of Last 15 Months
On April 12, I noted Real Hourly Wages Dive Again in March, Negative for 13 of Last 15 Months
That post contains the previous chart. Note when Inflation took off and why.
Instead, Biden blames Putin for an invasion that started on February 24, 2022.
Lame Duck
In November, Biden will officially be a lame duck.
Unfortunately, he can still inflict damage by executive order, but the midterm election will end the chance of Biden getting his highly inflationary policies through Congress.
With each decreasing brain cell in SloJo’s head, his Bidenfalation goes up another percent.
When, at last, he has the Lame Duck label printed on his
wrinkled bow, he will be confined to a wheelchair with
restraints; the only words spewing from his mouth being:
“Stand up, Chuck”.
The dementia kid is getting worse.
Biden and Democrats are screwed. Republicans simply need to associate every Democrat running for office with inflationary policies and spending. When the economy is not an issue in local elections, then make every Democrat running for office into a groomer, CRT and faggot loving racist.
Oh we have a plan to combat inflation.
Here’s step 1: kick the Democrats who are causing the inflation out of office!
Drill baby drill will do the trick
Hell I had to double check to make sure it wasn’t the Babylon Bee
Republicans are not smart enough to have a plan.
Our only hope is a hard, deflationary crash landing.
There is a plan and it is simple. Reverse all of your dumb shit.
“Drill baby drill will do the trick”
Make no mistake, the left would rather see our country burn to the ground first.
It’s your fault Joe , didn’t anyone tell you ,LOL
Its gone to far.
It can not be stopped at this point. BUT, it can be made less painful.
A year and a half is all it took this pig faced braying jackass to destroy the best economy created.
.
Slow Joe thinks he’s in the Senate!
.
Oh, yeah. It’s the GROB plan. Get Rid Of Biden.
But they do, it is called get rid of all democrat leadership
No this is just another Alinsky attack that has the leftists leading the conservatives around by the noses.
Ignore the request for problemsolving and instead attack the record of the leftists over the past years. Attack hard.
US Voter are not interested in blame, they want to hear Bare Shelves Biden's Democrats plan to do about it
Problem the Democrats have is their polices caused this so they have no solution to fix it.
I have an idea.... reduce current spending, reduce welfare and “stimulus”, cut corporate taxes and eliminate industrial regulations.....
All they need to do is to undo what Biden has done.
Can we get Jimmy Carter back to give him some advice?
