do you expect us to believe that if trump was president, and we had similar inflation, that you’d say the same thing? seriously?

trump also spent like a lunatic, so we were due for some inflation. it’s very reasonable to believe that biden’s massive spending, added fuel to that fire. and he owns that. his administration was also very dismissive of inflation for a long time, denying there was inflation and then saying it was temporary. he was wrong about it being temporary. he owns that too.

like almost everything, it’s not all biden’s fault, but he’s not blameless either.

the dems are between a rock and a hard place. the best way to control inflation is to increase interest rates, which would easily hurt the housing market and trigger a recession ( we’re overdue for a recession). so he has to choose between letting inflation run wild, or controlling inflation and possibly causing a recession. kind of a no win situation.

It’s world wide Jim it’s not isolated to the USA as Republicans suggest they are unable to speak honestly with their voters .. truth equals RINO lies equals re election

PS how long do you think any bills Biden signed and the money attached to them to affect the economy…. Huntley noted that he doesn't expect the spending package to increase inflation because of the time it will take for the money to be released.

Another fallacy pushed by Republicans
