Biden says 'Putin's tax on both food and gas' is to blame for record-high inflation

President Biden said the United States "has never seen anything like Putin’s tax on both food and gas," after the Labor Department announced Friday that inflation hit a new four-decade high in May.

The Labor Department said Friday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline, groceries and rent, rose 8.6% in May from a year ago. Prices jumped 1% in the one-month period from April. Those figures were both higher than the 8.3% headline figure and 0.7% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists.

The president, from the Port of Los Angeles Friday, said fighting inflation is his "top economic priority," while, again, casting blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine for the surge in prices.

“Putin’s tax? Boy, is he trying to bamboozle us. But it won’t work.”

Maybe not us but the typical libtard will eat that sh!t up.

Sounds like the No Malarkey Tour has a flat tire.

I just saw this short news article:

On the day the U.S. inflation rate hit a 40-year high, President Joe Biden traveled to the Port of Los Angeles Friday to discuss efforts to streamline global supply chains and counter rising prices, painting the issue as a worldwide problem fueled largely by Russian aggression in Ukraine. Speaking aboard the Battleship Iowa museum .......

In what few functioning brain cells babblin' biden has left,
he firmly believes the diarrhetic propaganda he constantly spews.

We don’t have a government that waits for other world psychopaths and zealots to run our country. That’s your job you dumb ass. Lead, anticipate, initiate countermeasures, and bury the troublemakers.

Sorry, Joe, but that reeks of desperation -- and does not even make sense. How is anything Putin taxes causing US inflation? Isn't Russia suffering US sanctions?

Hey Biden, here’s something you can try....tell the truth for once in your life...or are you just incapable of doing it?

[Bonemaker]

Yeah, and Putin killed the pipeline too.

[Telepathic Intruder]

You mean Putin, the guy we voted for? He controls EVERYTHING in this country!!

[SERKIT]

So does the IRS collect the “Putin Tax” from us and then they remit it to Russia? Does The Big Guy get his 10%? Asking for my friend, Hunter.

[Tellurian]

That Putin, what a guy, he gets people in other countries to pay him a tax.

But I gotta say, all this tax we’re paying to Putin; what do we get for it? Is this kind of like being Dhimmis but under Russian authority, paying a Jizya for being non-Russian subjects?

Maybe Putin promised not to use nukes in the USA when he goes after Ukrainians here, if we pay the tax. Protection tribute. Gotta love it.

BoJiden must not be getting his 10% if he’s complaining about it.

“President Biden said the United States “has never seen anything like Putin’s tax on both food and gas,”

The United States has never seen anything like the Grand Canyon class gaping dupek Joe Biden!

[DoughtyOne]

Biden needs a teleprompter with an IQ above 65.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

This is supposed to be news? Biden says the same things he always says.

[RetiredTexasVet]

It’s hard to believe that anyone takes the dim witted senile old fool Biden seriously ... unless they are seriously damaged themselves.

[seowulf]

He won’t say what it really is.

It’s the Democrat Tax on America.

President Alzheimer’s is completely void of character. Like his son.
