During an interview with Nexstar Media that took place on Tuesday and was released on Wednesday, President Joe Biden stated that inflation “is being stubborn and not going down to the 2% we need. But, it’s significantly different,” than where it was and “the thing that really affects people’s lives are all the small things that add up to big numbers for people, all these junk fees.”

Nexstar Washington Correspondent Reshad Hudson asked, “[R]ight now, for many Americans, life is too expensive. Are you concerned that stubborn inflation will hurt your re-election bid?”

Biden responded, “Well, look, we’ve brought down inflation considerably, by over two-thirds, and it is being stubborn and not going down to the 2% we need. But, it’s significantly different, number one. Number two, the thing that really affects people’s lives are all the small things that add up to big numbers for people, all these junk fees.”

Inflation is a direct consequence of junk taxes and junk government spending.

Joe Stolen is WAY more stubborn than the inflation he has engendered. Easy enough to reverse, just stop spending like there was no tomorrow and uncap all the oil and gas wells, PRODUCING our way out of the stagflation and recession he has snagged us into, and reverse all the new regulations put into place since January 20th, 2021.

In short, revert to just about what Trump was doing, but there is where the stubborn part comes in. Joe druther DIE than do that.

Uncontrolled government spending has been fueling inflation. Adding a trillion dollars to the national debt every 100 days is unsustainable. Next up an almost $100 billion supplemental for Ukraine, Israel, et. al. All borrowed money with no end in sight.

controlling corporate profits will lower the price of things like eggs

In a free market, competition encourages efficiency and cost-cutting measures, which can help to keep prices competitive. By interfering with corporate profits, the incentives for businesses to operate efficiently are diminished, potentially leading to higher production costs. These increased costs can then be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for products like eggs.

It is also caused by Bidumbs war on oil. Oil is in just about everything. Its in Plastic pipe, phones, cars, packaging, siding, roofing, roads, shoes, toothbrushes, cordless drills, diesel, gasoline, rakes, led lightbulbs, foam egg cartons, soda bottles, ect, ect.

The cost to ship the products we need and the cost of the products are affected by the cost of oil. But he is not just going after oil but natural gas as well. The very stuff that is used to produce energy. You know the energy we need a massive amount to make aluminum. For things like cans, aluminum foil, airplanes, electrical wire, boats, piping, ect, ect.

The guy is a walking market destroyer. Everything he passes is designed to destroy the economy.

Spending is only one part of the inflation problem. The attack on energy is another. Sucking up more of the short supply of housing by criminals he lets into the country is another. How many houses are going to be built by builders when they have to pay $50,000 in finance fees to build a house because construction interest rate are about 10%.

The fed is just plane wrong by raising interest rates to lower the cost of housing. And Bidump is wrong about his spending and war on oil not causing inflation.

This is a war against the citizens of the USA.

Biden’s entire political career was supported because of the special favors he wrote into laws for credit card companies.

Literally was known as the Senator from Visa
