Yes, It's Biden's Inflation
Townhall.com ^ | April 13, 2022 | Ben Shapiro

It also isn't supply chain issues alone. The core inflation rate in Europe has remained well below that of the United States; the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) was 5.9% in February 2022 in the Europe area, compared with 7.9% in the United States.

For its part, the Biden administration blames Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. White House press secretary and incipient MSNBC employee Jen Psaki announced, "we expect March CPI headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin's price hike," and blamed gas prices alone for the spike. That, of course, is ludicrous. In February 2021, the month after Biden took office, the inflation rate was just 1.7%. In April 2021 it spiked to 4.2%. By May 2021, the inflation rate was 5%; it remained in that range until October 2021, when it spiked to 6.2%; it then spiked again to 6.8% in November 2021 and 7.5% in January 2022.

In other words, the problem ain't Putin.

It also isn't supply chain issues alone. The core inflation rate in Europe has remained well below that of the United States; the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) was 5.9% in February 2022 in the Europe area, compared with 7.9% in the United States.

Not to worry. Congress finagled themselves a pretty hefty increase. Biden has his residuals from China, Ukraine & Russia (at least). The printing presses are running 24/7.
Happy days are here again.

Russia supplied just 02% of our oil in 2021. The price I pay for gasoline went up .02% this year.

Oh wait. that’s not right......... The price has doubled, that would be 100%. Explain how that’s all because of Putin please, PedoJoe, you blubbering bastard.

Yes, this current round is directly attributable to Pervert Biden. However, Obama contributed greatly with his QE1, QE2, etc. In addition, President Trump was suckered into allowing Congress to go along with Fauci, Gates, and Kadlec, and run up HUGE deficets. We need a fiscally responsible person in the white house. My vote is for Ron Desantis.

It is absolutely positively Biden who caused this inflation.

I love it. I hope the democrats starve to death. Their key constituencies are givemedats. I refuse to help them, I personally will not help them or hire them or support them in any way. I will bunker in and weather this storm. I am blessed and can afford to just not participate in this corruption as much as possible.

LETS GO BRANDON ! Don’t do business with democrats. Cut them out of your life like the cancer they are.
