Gas Prices? Must Be Trump's Fault!

Before someone else says it let me quash it with this: Supply/demand only accounts for a portion of the inflation of prices for some goods... to include gas prices and shortages. Read the policies that are being implemented/revoked by the current administration and you find another, much larger, piece of the puzzle. Buckle up... hyper-inflation is coming our way.

Inflation is back. Biden should be worried

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/business/inflation-economic-growth-biden/index.html

Larry Summers, the Clinton-era Treasury secretary, is sounding the alarm on inflation via a series of increasingly urgent warnings.

In an op-ed titled "The inflation risk is real," Summers wrote in the Washington Post Monday that overheating is now the "primary risk" facing the US economy. The former Obama official said the Fed may need to begin to tighten policy and urged the Biden administration to "move past emergency policies," including addressing a growing shortage of workers.

Everything is getting more expensive. That's especially bad news for low-income Americans.

Noting that inflation spikes "disproportionately hurt the poor" and are linked to diminished trust in government, Summers reminded progressives that inflation played a big role in electing Republican presidents in 1968 and 1980.

Holy shit... CNN is publishing news again?!

Also... I'm new so I can't see the entirety of long comments. I KNOW you linked the article and I've hit the Show Full Comment bar but your comment still cuts off at "Biden should be worried". Little help for a noob?

If you can't get to a posted link, try searching for the article's title.

I just tried that and it worked.

It's not that, per se... it's that when I hit the Show Full Comment bar it doesn't display the full comment. Can't think of why. I wonder if it's the browser I'm using. Got it that time... gonna take a look. Many thanks.

I forgot to say in my initial post but you made a good meme. I only responded as I did because someone commented on a meme I made that the inflation was due to supply and demand issues... which, its true but only accounts for a fraction of the reason. Wanted to put that out there before hit you with the same.

It had to be trump be a he’s trump
