No, they have Trump to blame. Trump is their magic bullet.

I just read that they’re actually contemplating shutting down yet ANOTHER pipeline, which will drive energy prices and inflation even higher. They simply don’t care.

Any time you hear somebody kvetching about the prices on the shelf, just remind them, ‘y’all voted for that guy.’

Inflation is part of their plan to destroy independent America, and turn us into a Vassal state of Red China.

The Marxists game plan to power is to inflict as much emotional, financial and physical pain on their future subjects. Its right out of Karl’s playbook, Attested by Alinskey and Cloward and Piven.

We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.

Barack Obama May 17, 2008

Recall the high energy prices under Obama. The “peal” oil” lie. The assertion that we can’t drill our way out of high gas prices. Trump decisively disproved these lies.

High energy prices is how Dems fight climate change. Little people be damned.

Of course they’ll blame Trump, they won’t blame themselves, but have to keep them from controlling the narrative, just like the headline skews the proper framing of the issue.

It should be that ALL AMERICANS have ONLY the DEMONKKKRAPS TO BLAME FOR INFLATION. (Sub headline - Party in power refuses to accept responsibility.) That needs to be repeated over and over and over and over again .... right into 2022 (s)election day.

No, you are wrong

The goal is not to make America a vassal of China. The goal is to transform America into a European socialist state. California and New York already are

American progressives are intellectually deficient. Every program they come up with is derivative of an existing program in the socialist UK or Europe

It is far worse than what is being reported and is probably going to go into hyperinflationary territory. Almost nothing can be done to protect oneself financially from that. It ruins almost everyone but the super rich who own the means of production and those who live an isolated life off of the grid for the most part.

No investment is going to turn out well. Land/property investments will increase in taxation such that people will not make enough to keep them. The people in charge are setting the nation on fire.

I agree.....I could care less how the American voter retards that cast their votes for Democrat, Low Lifes, like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, etc.!!! Those fools deserve every hardship that comes their way!!! These people made their own beds...now let them lay in the bed they themselves created!

By the way, Biden dummies, ya all better learn to speak Chinese, because Joe Biden and the entire Democrat Party are controlled from top to bottom by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)!!! Sad & tough times ahead for the USA!!! Ya all did it to yourselves...fools!!!

I know this might be the unpopular opinion here, but aren't Jerome Powell, the Fed, and even Trump partially responsible?

How many rounds of stimulus checks did Trump push? He had been pushing negative interest rates for years.

Biden is certainly exacerbating everything, but much of the groundwork had been laid out in 2020.

I am amazed at how many on our side (i.e. America as founded) still consider things like inflation to be a mistake on the Left's part due to incompetence.

It is not an act of incompetence, but rather an act of WAR.

This is by design, part of a general plan to destroy America in order to rebuild a global society over which they have complete control.

One only needs to google "Cloward Piven" or "Saul Alinsky" or go to the "John Birch Society" web page to verify this.

This is why USA needs to cut its involvement with EU. Let EU deal with their ideological ally Russia, only then will they wish Trump and the USA were on their side. EU fears and despises China, yet they grovel to the CCP, won’t insult them like they do America.

As time passes on, I am hard pressed to come up with what EU has that is of such vital importance to the USA. Seems their biggest exports are bad ideas, cultural and moral decay, socialism-communism, and insults to Americans. They did after all export the idea of involuntary servitude and slavery, that America could not extricate from its founding because of the ties, influence of the European ancestors.

One can go all the way back to W if you want to be even more accurate. (doubled debt 5 to 10 trillion; obozo doubled it to 20 trillion...) Others will say one should start in 1913 when the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.

Yes, Trump did not run on nor act on reining in federal givernment fiscal. We can argue whether he not been hampered with some many working against him to the point of immobilization - fake hoax investigations, a lying media, fake impeachment and two years of GOP Congress that worked against him. My financial reading during those years was that it didn’t matter who was in the WH really, the system is on such an auto-pilot, a print and spend, etc that the day of reckoning would come. The question would only be who would be standing during musical chairs when the last song stopped. Xiden and enemies have sure accelerated the decline, and they may be last ones standing.

yes, the twin decisions to go along with a lockdown, then issue stimulus money started the ball rolling. Up to that point, Trump had been flawless on economic policy. That said, we had already recovered from the lockdowns when the Dem's stole the Presidency. Without that theft, I'm sure Trump would have kept us on a sound path economically.
