November 13, 20241 yr 7 hours ago, TEW said: It was MIT that did the study I linked which pointed to Biden’s spending as the driver of inflation. Take it up with them. I'm sure it was A driver of inflation. Given that inflation plagued every economy after Covid it's stupid to argue it was THE inflation, unless you're being a partisan hack.
November 13, 20241 yr Inflation rate for US in 2022 was 8%. Germany's Covid stimulus was about 25% more relative to GDP than ours, but their 2022 inflation rate was 6.9% The UK's stimulus was about 30% less than ours yet their inflation rate was about the same at 7.9% Japan's stimulus was nearly double ours but their inflation stayed relatively low at 2.5%. In the case of Japan it's worth noting their inflation prior to Covid was incredibly low, deflationary at times in the years before. So 2.5% still represents a quite high rate historically but still low by global standards.

Far too dismissive when all the major economies make the same types of moves Biden did

November 13, 20241 yr 11 hours ago, TEW said: Likewise, government spending. If you read the study it went back to the 1960’s and was designed to explain inflation in general, not just COVID. So your hero Putin is a liberal who went on a spending spree too?

Still ignores monetary supply. The private spend isnt what drove it
November 13, 20241 yr Apparently there is a correlation between Trump's cabinet picks and the number of appearances they have made on Fox and Friends. Quote Sam Stein claimed that several of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks were not based on "credentials” but on their "personal loyalty” shown to him in Fox News appearances. Stein appeared on the show on Wednesday morning after Trump nominated Fox News host and army veteran Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense. The decision left commentators and lawmakers "dumbfounded”, Stein said, before offering his take. If we are being frank about it, the reason [Hegseth] is picked he is on Fox & Friends, right? This is true of a number of these picks. Mike Waltz happened to be the congressman who appeared on Fox more than any other sitting Republican member of congress in the past two years. These people grab Trump’s attention because of television appearances. He is drawn to the idea they can present on a medium that he loves. Contemporaneous reporting from last night suggest the Hegseth decision was done in a matter of 24 hours, that there is internal confusion about it.
