Even if this inflation is made worse because of Ukraine, Biden still caused that!

He gave the head nod to admit Ukraine into NATO.

That cowardly bugger had no problem blaming PDJT for everything that went wrong including trashing a lot of things that went right.

Truth is, I love it that Brandon and Peppermint Patty are trying to dodge this. When I see the whirling blur that is the price of gas as I’m filling my car, I know danged well who to blame. I have faith that my fellow Americans do too.

Follow the logic, President Biden.
The most advanced economies in the world, the G7 nations, less the US, had an average trailing 12 month inflation rate of 4%, with Japan as low as less than 1% and neighbor Canada and the UK as high as 5.1% and 5.8% percent, respectively.
All 7 nations have had common economic exposure to the covid menace and escalating energy prices from the Ukraine war impacting their economies. Yet, our US 7.9 % rate is close to double the average 4% inflation rate of our 6 G7 partners with our rate over the last trailing 3 months running at 8.5%.
The difference, unlike the other 6, is that we came off a spending blowout in 2021 with a record breaking 2.7 trillion annual deficit led by a 1.9 trillion covid relief vote buying bill, a 1.1 trillion infrastructure bill that is more subsidy than infrastructure, and the latest yet be spent 1.5 trillion spending bill recently passed by the House and the Senate may also pass (and all of this without the 5 trillion Build Inflation Back Better spending orgy bill that went down in flames)
To paraphrase a bit: Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s the spending, stupid.

My prediction. There will be no planting of crops this spring in Ukraine. Ukraine is the bread basket to all of Europe. Food prices will explode here and around the world. Is it Putin’s plan to starve Europe before invading? Starving them into admission? How will that impact our food supply? What happens to our supply chain if fuel reaches $10 a gallon. Folks it is fixin to get ruff, hold on, gonna be a wild ride. God bless you folks living in a metropolitan area, when the food runs out, you are in a world of hurt.

"We've seen the price of gas go up over a dollar just since he put his troops on the border on the border of Ukraine — they went up a dollar and five cents," Biden said."

Brandon is such a ****ing liar.

But we knew that.

May 2020 gas was $1.69 / gal, here.

Feb1, 2022, it was $3.69.

More than doubled BEFORE the invasion.

That's an increase of 120%.

Since the invasion it has increased $.80 or 23%.

It’s not Covid, Bribem, it’s what you and those of your ilk forced the country to do in response to Covid.

Does anyone really believe this? I mean , even the corporate media shills, they don’t even buy it, they just do what they’re told.

So the out of control spending by this administration has nothing to do with driving down the value of the dollar along with their executive orders stopping everything that President Trump did to make the USA energy independent out of hate and spite that lead to our economy slowing down and the stock market taking a dive.
That had nothing to do with driving up the cost of doing business in the USA.
But…..it appears like it as all President Trump, COVID, Putin, & Russias fault for the high price of everything, and this administration was handed a train wreck of an economy.
This administration lies through its teeth everyday and try’s to deceive the American people that they are pure as the driven snow on all this.
Their evil is showing.

Yeah, shutting down Keystone>>higher fuel prices>>higher transportation costs>>increased product costs>>inflation.

Yeah, I don’t see the connection either. /s
