Oh you just pushed over the hornet's nest with that. You talked an an educated populace and yet you just made a completely uneducated reply. Either you do not pay any attention to the news or you get your misinformation from CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, or CBS. Or maybe the New York Times or the Washington Post. Maybe you get it online at some Idiots-R-Us "news" disservice. Who ever told you that this inflation wasn't Biden's fault and Biden didn't just sign a tax increase was lying to you.

It's time to pull your head out of the sand and look around because I don't lie. I never have. I've made mistakes but I do not lie.

Fact: Biden worked with the Federal Reserve to ramp up the printing of money. Too many dollars in circulation ALWAYS causes inflation. That is a verifiable fact. Biden is 100% responsible for our current inflation. All you need to do is just open your eyes and stop letting the talking heads on the boob tube do your thinking for you. Look into it yourself.

Fact: the Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden just signed into law, contains a tax increase on every single American who works or collects Social Security with one exception. For whatever reason if you earn between $10,000 and $20,000 per year you won't get a tax increase. If you make more or less than that you will. Look it up. The full text of the Inflation Reduction Act is online. Read it for yourself. The act does NOTHING to curb inflation. The bulk of it is a bunch of climate change nonsense that is only going to cost us more money.

Me paying for someone else's student loan has absolutely NOTHING to do with an "educated populate". NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING and more NOTHING.

What you are saying is I had to pay for my student loans and the loans of someone else. Why? Why did I have to work and slave to pay off my own student loans and now I get saddled with someone else's.

How is that supposed to make my life better?

Let's face the facts. Biden is the worst president since Jimmy Carter. He will soon be worse than Carter because he is not working for the American people. He never was. He is working for the World Economic Forum and they are trying to bring about a global fascist government. THAT'S WHO YOUR PRESIDENT IS.

Man you guys love to say a lot without actually saying much of substance.

My source of news is irrelevant. Joe Biden does not have the power to control global inflation - USA fairing better that a lot of countries btw - despite what you want believe.

Every President prints money, what do you think Trump’s tax cuts were? Printing money, most of which went to the top elites. America is also pro at printing money for the military industrial complex, which its done for decades. But suddenly money that benefits regular people & people like you go crazy.

Your claim about the IRA is completely false, I can’t read what isn’t there. There are no individual income tax increases included in the legislation at all. Unless your a large profitable corporation you literally won’t be affected.

Your probably confusing the IRA with Biden’s student debt relief plan, which does have relief between $10k & $20k. You guys always do seem quite confused… and angry for no reason.
Nobody is paying anything more for debt relief. It’s money already spent, just now instead of being repaid to government coffers it can now be invested back into economy, which benefits everyone. Even you. Why countries with universal/affordable education have significantly higher median incomes than America. That would really be investing in an educated populace. No crushing debt. It’s insane education is even considered a luxury that forces debt to begin with. But Biden’s too neolib to change that that so he’s giving crumbs.

You hating on these policies while railing on the global elites is extremely ironic as higher taxes & helping lower class with education goes against basically all self-interested elitist plans. You’re doing their dirty work and don’t even realize it… XD

"Every President prints money, what do you think Trump’s tax cuts were?"

WHAT????? If the government prints more money to make up for a tax cut then why did Obama tell the Fed to print more money have giving us the biggest tax increase in the history of, not just the US, but in the history of mankind. Oh, you didn't know that? The Fed does no respond to tax cuts or tax increases by adjusting the money supply.

If you think all of that money went to the "top elites" or the "military industrial complex" then you're just not understanding the value of currency. Let's say that the Fed printed a million dollars and then just handed it over to some fat cat politician (as you said) but the value of that million dollars is the equivalent of $1.50 in 1970 dollars then that fat cat really doesn't have much. He can only spend it to buy something that is worth a $1.50. Now that was a big exaggeration because a million dollars today is not even close to a million dollars in 1970. I haven't looked up the inflation rate since then so I don't know the exact amount.

As far as the IRA, when you said you cannot read what isn't there, what you meant is you didn't read the IRA at all and just assume it isn't there because some leftist talking head on CNN didn't mention it was there.

"You guys always do seem quite confused… and angry for no reason"

Confused? Well maybe but not about politics. Angry? No. More like frustrated. It is frustrating to see so many Democrats thinking they are intellectually superior when they are dumber than a mud fence and they just will not listen to facts, reason or logic. I do not claim to be intellectually superior to anyone. I'm just an average guy. But if I as an average guy can see the problem and you can't then that is makes me frustrated. No matter how hard I try; facts, reason and logic is just something I cannot put in your head.

Like this gem: "Nobody is paying anything more for debt relief." So then all of those schools just took a cut in revenues? Is that how you think it worked. You just do not forgive that much in debt and expect it not to hurt someone. Biden didn't just wave his magic wand and everyone was happy. That money has to be accounted for somewhere and when it comes to the government it is either the taxpayers or it is debt. And when the assume the debt then it is becomes the responsibility of future tax payers to pay. Debt is debt and it will be paid one way or another.

"Joe Biden does not have the power to control global inflation"

Did I say that he did? He is controlling national inflation, not international. For international inflation you have to look at the bigger picture. You need to investigate the World Economic Forum and their Great Reset. You need to read up on Modern Monetary Theory and how many nations in the world are buying into this theory despite the fact that it causes inflation.

Saying we are fairing better than the rest of the world is irrelevant because currencies are local to each nation. That means each nation is responsible for their own inflation.

Inflation is caused by government policy and not market forces.

Yes, the Federal Reserve prints money throughout all presidencies ever since the idiot president Woodrow Wilson forced the Federal Reserve and the IRS on us. Paper money wears out so new money needs to be printed to replace old money. The Fed is also supposed to control inflation by adjusting the interest rates. But sometimes they do stupid things like cutting the money supply in Oct of 1929 causing the stock market to crash, causing Hoover to act stupidly causing the Great Depression. Then FDR came in and doubled down on the stupidity and made it last the rest of his 4 terms in office.

But printing money to replace old is not what has been happening. It is called quantitative easing and it started with George W Bush in 2007. Bush in several really stupid attempts to revive the housing bubble collapse and subsequent economic crash, tried quantitative easing to see if that would help. But unlike Obama, Bush shut it down before he left office.

Obama came in and because the only economic theory he understands comes from Karl Marx he decided that we needed more of that quantitative easing. He told the Feds to start printing overtime. This lead to a noticeable jump in inflation. Obama never told the Feds to stop printing all the time he was in office. Trump comes in and he either didn't notice or told the Fed to just keep doing what they had been doing.

Biden, however, is a different story. He comes in and purposely does things to cause the supply of all goods to be limited especially gasoline. And on top of that he told the Feds to kick it up a few notches.

Paying off student loans so they have no skin in the game doesn’t create and educated populous.

A country that incentivizes education by alleviating cost barriers does do that, Biden’s plan is crumbs to be fair but it does help.
Using your education to fully invest in economy - rather that repay debt to gov coffers - is plenty of skin.

Teaching people to take responsibility for their debt is a much better education than bailing them out. Nobody forced them to take the loan. Meanwhile, those who took responsibility and worked their way through college and/or paid off their debt now have to foot the bill for losers who depend on government handouts.

If they actually had a useful education that would be true.

Gender, race and other useless degrees don't count. The only future path is to become a community organizer. Maybe a useless Presisent.
