What you're not getting is that people don't do an intellectual analysis of what causes inflation at the supermarket or gas station.  And while many things are cheaper, that's been the case for quite a while now.  The core expenditures people have to make - food, housing, transportation - are all skyrocketing with no end in sight.  These bills bloated with port like the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act are stoking the fires of inflation and eroding the dollar.  And your analysis of inflation is off base.  Prices are higher because there are more dollars flooding the economy.

And forget about Trump for a sec.  Does Biden instill confidence in you on his own footing?

Food costs are up globally. It has nothing to do with Biden. It's market economics. You want price controls and Communism? 

And food costs are not "skyrocketing" at this point. The food cost index in the US went from 319.72 to 322.84 the last six months. Annualized that's a 2% food cost inflation the last six months. 

You're arguing like it's Jan 2022. It's Aug 2023. Biden has been in office for 2.5 years and inflation peaked early and has been dropping the last year.

If we're going to compare policies, our inflation, economy, and unemployment are better than any comparable nation. 

I don't even give Biden credit for much of that. The infrastructure bill probably could get a little credit, along with the chips bill perhaps. But most of this is just having a robust economy and the Fed belatedly but seriously fighting inflation. 

But since you're eager to pile on the blame, here we are. By every economic measure the US has far outpaced its rivals. 

China's teetering on the brink. Germany is dealing with self inflicted economic trouble. The UK Brexited itself out of an enviable trade situation due to Trumplike economic stupidity. And the US is rising. 

Trump got lucky for three years, then badly bungled the only crisis he had to deal with. He was the worst president in the last 100 years.

You're most certainly wrong about that, but is that supposed to be some kind of dig?

You really do live in an alternate reality.

Food prices are rising at the highest rate in decades. Here's where that money goes.

Went from electro-mechanical assembler, to industrial electrician, to Electrical Maintenance planner. 

An article from April with the line "Over the past two years..."

Yes, food prices went up a lot during the pandemic and for a time thereafter. 

I literally said that. 

They went up globally. Not because of Biden. 

2022 the main drivers were egg and chicken prices due to an avian flu outbreak along with the Ukraine war disrupting wheat deliveries (which incidentally I'd imagine is resulting in a windfall for US wheat farmers). 

Point to a Biden policy that resulted in the culling of millions of chickens due to bird flu.

The impacts of the pandemic however are mostly ironed out from a food standpoint, and it shows in the last 6 mos. 

Keep denying reality. 

 

Biden is nothing more than a loose collection of face lifts and saggy skin who is senile and incompetent, and likely ishs his own pants.

Hes a pathetic, do-nothing, reactionary, ineffective president with no leadership skills or any political vision beyond his handlers who try to keep him from falling off bicycles.

Another trumpbot lashing out emotionally after his hero got arrested last night. Hate to see it.

I'm kind of surprised they're taking this so hard, but Jesus, they're in full breakdown mode today/last night.  I mean, this is his 4th indictment in as many months.  No one was surprised by it.  I get that there's a mugshot now but in essence it's the same as all the others (aside from probably the NY one, since the charges weren't nearly as serious).

FFS. If the GOP could just nominate someone normal, this would be a blowout. But they are attached to the cult leader, so we get the rematch no one wanted. 

It's like the rematch between the Bills and Cowboys after the 1993 season that nobody wanted (side note, we could have gotten Montana and the Chiefs vs. Young and the 49ers, but both lost in the Championship game). 

Biden is at least the least objectionable option from the left.

Aside from the gun safety one, I'm not seeing anything in there that isn't a major win.  You could make an argument for Justice Brown but it's big with the left. 

But the rest?  Huge.  I'd say he's been the most successful President in my lifetime but it's so obvious it hardly even needs to be mentioned.  And the best part?  Biden doesn't even care how much you irrationally hate him.  He loves you anyway, Mike, BDS and all.

I was reacting to the Biden memes.  Once again you all are absolutely fixated on Trump and introduce him into literally every single discussion.

Almost like a mental illness.

That post was a response to wgb, not you.  Pro-tip: wipe the tears from your eyes before you post.  That way you know you're talking to the right person.
