Yeah, you're not digging into the number to try to own the Republicans. It's all good, we're all hurting thanks to Pop Pop, just not as equally.
March 10, 20223 yr Here's a great thread for the simpletons who somehow believe federal policy has no bearing on gas prices: It's a long thread, that's just the appetizer.

It's all good, we're all hurting thanks to Pop Pop, just not as equally. uh, I was making a point that "it's almost like inflation doesn't care about your political party affiliation" If Trump had won the election we'd still be experiencing a lot of inflation. The main bill Biden DID that would have had an impact on inflation is the American Rescue Plan, a decent chunk of which have not yet been spent. One would need to run an analysis of what the impact would have been of not passing it vs passing it, with the understanding that a good amount of the funding went directly to states (including many red states) who had been running deep in the red because of COVID and aren't able to raise capital like the federal government is through sale of treasuries. The economic effects on these states may quite well have been worse than the inflation we're now dealing with. I do not have the necessary skills to do such an analysis, but I can still recognize that an intellectually honest analysis would have to run these out. Regardless of whether we are facing high inflation, or state governments that might be forced to raise taxes and/or deeply cut services, or whatever else, there was going to be lingering economic pain coming out of COVID. Even if Trump balked at such a plan, the pain that would have been felt would simply have been shifted elsewhere.
March 10, 20223 yr Last month the kung flu was responsible for inflation, gas prices, and supply issues This month it's Putin's fault. Who's got next?
March 10, 20223 yr 8 hours ago, JohnSnowsHair said: weird that all the Republican-led mountain west states would have the highest inflation in the nation as a region. it's almost like inflation doesn't care about your political party affiliation. don't these states know that there is a "stop inflation" button that could be pressed? Relative numbers and all…actually points to their costs being better. and that button is at the Fed…

March 13, 20223 yr Is it due to the lack of trust in polling of the "fifth pillar" or has Biden stepped that far off of the reservation?

March 14, 20223 yr Author Also, instead of setting up a carbon market, how about set up a market for polluters to purchase the land that will allegedly get flooded due to warming
