Key inflation cause: Republican policy

[pknopp]

I’m an Orthodox Jew; I know more Canadians that have come to live in the US than you’ll ever know in your life.

Canadians do move to the U.S. Not over health care. To note, even Rand Paul went to Canada to access his health care needs.

Some very, very rich come to the U.S. to access health care but health care should not only be for the rich.

Shhhhhh, Tabby..
You're neutered AND declawed.
Little more than protein in a sweater.

You have the wit of a used tampon, kid.

You elected Republicans in Virginia. Sucks to be you. You have the cheapest gas in the first world, and you are energy independent thanks to the Obama/Biden Administration, and all you can do is bitch about it. What ungrateful turds Republicans truly are.

yeah but the Gov of a State has no impact on gas prices

we are not energy independent anymore…thanks to xiden, we apparently are greatly depend on what putin does according to the dems…xiden’s putin’s bitch

You claim KKKanada’s healthcare system is awesome, then bring a laundry list of how bad it sucks.

Nice job, Moron.

Every system can always be improved, and coming out of covid, things are in tough shape. Compared to the the USA, where you deal with mountains of paperwork, preapprovals, and co-pays, we're literally laughing at you. It also puts the lie to the idea that liberals never criticize the government or anything it does.

Canadians hold their governments accountable in ways Americans never do. When Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives signed the free trade deal, we ENDED the party. They got 3 seats in the next election. That's how you punish a party.

46% of Americans voted for Trump's reelection. That's insane.

That’s a separate issue but MDs want to be paid for the many years they spent in school.

The inflation of 2021/2022 is undoubtably the result of key Republican policy failures specific to the workforce and oil pricing. These two Republican pressures behind the worldwide supply availability are the three direct causes of inflation. Mic drop.

1. Labor shortage - 3.5M deficit in workers

1. Declining immigration
2. Covid deaths
3. Early retirees due to safety

2. Gas prices

1. Oil rig shut downs during Trump - over 600
2. Negotiated reduction in OPEC - over 2M B/D

3. World wide supply shortage

1. This is not the pubs fault as it’s affected every country.

During the Great Recession, workforce participation among the 55-and-older cohort grew 1%. The past three years have seen a 1.9% decline among boomers.

Their exit is causing a ripple effect. Between early retirees, “a surge in deaths,” and a decline in immigration, the American labor force is missing about 3.5 million people, Fed chair Jerome Powell said in late November. The excess retirements in particular “might now account for more than 2 million of the 3 ½ million shortfall in the labor force,” he said. Experts worry the shortfall could make it harder to tame inflation.

You don't have state gas taxes??? Yes you do. 26 cents per gallon:

Perhaps if you got a clue, you would know that all crude oil prices in the USA are tied to the world crude oil price set by OPEC. So if the rest of the world is paying a higher price for crude oil, so are American refineries, and that price increase is passed along to consumers.

The ignorance of conservative posters on this board as to how segments of the economy work, is disheartening. FOX News does a pitiful job of informing you dolts.

 

[Dragonlady]

and thanks to senile joe, our strategic reserves are at record lows.

Are you suggesting that Joe top up the reserve NOW, while prices are still so high???? Since prices are coming down, shouldn't he wait until prices and production have normalized, and they refill the strategic reserves at the lower prices?

Given the amount of oil it will take to refill those strategic reserves, doesn't it risk seeing prices rise again, to take that much oil out of the marketplace to refill those reserves?

The problem is not physicians salaries. It's the many expecting ever increasing returns.

the Gov of Va doesn’t set that, nor does his policies impact interstate commerce

with that said the Gov did try twice to get a gas tax holiday but the dems in the senate rejected it.

they did give VA tax payers a one time tax rebate last year of up to $500 to help combat the xiden inflation

You can't just flip a switch and replace all the immigration system that Trump dismantled.
