SO MANY PEOPLE ARE BROKE FROM DEMOCRAT POLICIES

You mean when Trump, whom gave us four years of a robust economy, would for some reason instantly become a Dem Party politician if allowed to retake office after being re-elected (again) and begin engaging in hyper-inflation policies? Fascinating!

I wish the timing had been right for him to run as a Democrat. He could have done it and would have also won as a dem. That's the beauty of Trump and why he's hated by the swamp and it's slimy supporters. Both sides of the swamp hate him (as if there are really two sides in there... hah!) so he has to be doing something right.

Twice impeached is held up by dems as some kind of crowning achievement, when in fact it's a shameful disgrace on their party. Assuming Trump had done somehting impeachable, they still would have fcuked up the impeachment so badly that he'd be exonerated, as he was anyway, TWICE.

In other words, your party leaders have got TDS to such a debilitating degree, that they rushed and botched and fcuked up a two impeachments. Yet somehow they're followed blindly by the sheeple in your party. Pretty amazing in a sad and pathetic way.

Amazing. You focused your entire response on "TDS" and Trump so hard that you managed to actually skip over the entire topic at hand. I guess to be fair it's hypothetical anyway so eh....

Out of curiosity, how did the declaration that the pandemic was officially over cause inflation?

Declaring it over in and of itself didn't cause inflation. The relatively quick return of consumer demand combined with supply chain issues definitely played a part though. I think it's also worthy of note that the oil industry has been seeing record profits.

Much like the law, you gotta wonder about a monetary system that you have to have have a degree to even begin to understand.

The oil industry is price gouging to recoup lost revenue during "quarantine lockdown".

When they realized you'd pay it there was no reason to lower it.

I encouraged people I know in the fall of 2020 to invest in oil company stock because it was gonna blow up. Those that listened, and hadn't wasted all their stimulus money on big tvs, made pretty good coin from the 2 years of record profits that followed.

Back to inflation...

You got significantly increased wages, costs of raw materials, high consumer demand vs. low inventory, yada yada yada.

Prices skyrocketed for those reasons, sure.

Add all that newly printed stimi money in circulation further devaluing the dollar and here we are.

Do you wanna curb inflation without relying on politicians or the puppet masters to stop manipulating things?

Simple solution to a complex problem:

Quit buying sh!t.

I also had some oil industry stonks and was playing that angle.... Think I sold a little early but owell.

Ya I was possibly some miniscule part of the problem... I was flush with cash at the time (besides the stimmy checks) and admittedly was buying sh*t I didn't really need.

I think we're basically in agreement though. Inflation sucks and it would've been far, far worse if trump had won. It's cool that we agree on that.
😜

I only got through the first line of singing Kumbaya when I saw you snuck in a barb.

😄 Come on, Trump wouldn't have made things worse.
