I'm more inclined to say it is Biden's war on oil, gas, and the people, and his administration's insistence in keep printing money, that is the main contributor to inflation.

[A_perfect_lady]

I can still remember when liberals howled their heads off over involving ourselves in proxy wars, or wars against countries that “never attacked us.”

[no-to-illegals]

kirby and stalin are the devil’s liars, as is putin, as is biden

[joma89]

The industrial military complex is a grave threat to all of us.

[ClearCase_guy]

Inflation is a money supply issue. Only our government can inflate our money. And it has.

[PghBaldy]

What do you say to those people?

[Nervous Tick]

[Da Coyote]

Yes, they ARE that inept, stupid, and totally without a clue. Democrats - where the men are weak and women are odd looking. (And no place more apt than the White House and its loathsome inhabitants.)

[ArcadeQuarters]

So it's not a war of globalist expansion? And inflation is not because of his own policies on food and energy supplies? Ok. I believe that as much as I believed cloth masks stop viruses.

[AAABEST]

the cost “will be exorbitantly much higher than the cost that has been expended to keep Ukraine in the fight...

We're bankrupting our treasury to "keep Ukraine in the fight."

[Terry L Smith]

inflation began rising from Biden’s actions inauguration plus 1.

very slight possibility that like Reagan’ Star Wars that made the Soviets spend rthemselves into oblivion, Ukraine is making Russia siphon itself .

we might also be pushing Russia into a madman’s corner.

and all the while, Portlanders lose businesses to the dangers of streetpeople.

[momincombatboots]

Continuation of Obama’s Syrian war. Pipelines and Russia regime change. They must install a puppet in Russia to obtain all of their natural resources needed to go green.
I am assuming the Lithium of Afghanistan is depleted.

There are multiple sources to inflation. The roots are unproductive behavior and fiscal policy. Anything that decreases productivity increases inflation - less stuff being produced at greater expense. Taxes, regulations, lazy ass workers watching porn at home are part of the equation. The other part is fiscal policy. That includes spending money on things that do not matter, like a trillion dollar infrastructure act that doesn’t build or repair infrastructure. That money has to come from somewhere when it doesn’t exist. The Fed has to borrow that money and when they are unable to do that they have to print that money. Combine less stuff being produced at greater expense with more money in the economy you have the perfect storm: too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Not all government spending is bad. There are a few things that actually need to be done by government. What are those things? Use the following test. When government spends money does it direct benefit Americans? Does it benefit you? Since this article is about Ukraine, does spending a dime benefit you? It doesn’t for me.

When spending money on Ukraine is taken in isolation the $200 billion doesn’t seem like much. But when you add the $200 billion to the hundreds of other things things that have zero benefit you have trillions of spending that need to be borrowed or printed.

Spending money on Ukraine doesn’t benefit a single America outside of the Biden Crime Family and the military industrial complex. It makes America weak due to opportunity cost. That $200 billion isn’t going to our defense. In fact, part of the military aid we send Ukraine depletes our weapons supply, which may be needed for real national interests.

[MrRelevant]

So its necessary to keep printing money and buying weapons so inflation will come down?

[unread]

It's about all that money the dimorats have squirreled away in the Ukraine.. They are desperate to keep their secret's and stolen bucks away from those would use it against them..

[HighSierra5]

Wow. I’ve heard some whoppers, but this is a doosy.

[JesusIsLord]

White House: We Spend on Ukraine Because War Impacts U.S. Through Inflation, It’s About Independence, and Cost of Inaction Is Higher

When I read this title, my BS meter blew up!

[ARW]

I don’t watch these shows but do the interviewers ever ask if there’s an upper limit? I mean, if we can’t ever let Russia win then what are we waiting for? Are we waiting for all the Ukrainians to die before we send US troops to fight? And if that’s the case then we need to start mobilizing our forces now.

[Bernard]

The easiest way to stop fighting is to stop fighting. If the US government stopped sending money and arms to Ukraine, the country would have to negotitiate with Russia.

It would be a lot easier and less expensive if Biden would just destroy the evidence and Epstein the people who know the dirt about him and Hunter. Can't he just call Hillary's 800 number and order up a suicide and server wipe?

Notice the SILENCE of our Ukraine Cheerleaders on this thread. Even though they FULLY SUPPORT the Biden Administration on this war, they’ve been told to not associate themselves with that Administration - just keep everything focused on Ukraine and Putin instead.

Impressive discipline on their part, I have to admit.
