1. The fed had very little to do with inflation. Inflation was triggered by supply disruptions and excess available cash (multiple stimulus checks, pent up demand from covid lockdowns, enhanced unemployment checks, extra child care payments, etc)
2. What a self centered response. Glad you are not impacted, but for millions of others this is a real problem, especially the poor.
3. If you are not seeing or reading about the current and predicted food shortages, computer chip shortages, building supply shortages, etc, then you are very uninformed.
4. Yes it is an indirect result of inflation. In order to try and stem the out of control inflation, the FED was forced to raise interest rates.
5. When the leaders of two countries refuse to take a call from the President, we have lost respect.

He was the one who campaigned on stopping COVID. He also sad he would cure cancer, how has that turned out?
7. Yup, that is how it works. When you have veto power over spending bills, it is kind of your problem.
8. Only 24% of the infrastructure bill went to fixing or upgrading the infrastructure. The rest was for green new deal initiatives, foreign aid, funding the national science foundation $50B, gender equity programs, bailing out multi-employer pension plans, and subsidizing electric vehicles.
9. Didn't happen under Trump.
10. Giving money to the poor for doing nothing does not end poverty it only perpetuates it. The unemployment number only counts people actively looking for a job in the last month. It doesn't count the people who have given up looking. The number of unemployed is still higher than in 2020. At better way to look at is the number of full time employees has declined, while the number of people "not in the labor force" has increased.
11. Moving jobs back to the US minimizes disruptions to the supply chain, increases US workers wages, and is better for national security.
12. Heroin deaths are down because fentanyl is cheaper and more available. I don't know how you think the number of homeless is down. Especially after all the non-eviction laws were lifted and rents have skyrocketed. No I would not shed one tear if Hunter overdosed. He is garbage human-being
