The Politics Of Inflation

[Independent thinker]

For 3 1/2 years now the left have been referring to inflation as being due to any number of reasons.

1. It's Trump's fault

2. There is no inflation, inflation was just transitory

3. The pandemic caused supply chain issues

4. The war in Ukraine caused inflation

5. The Middle East conflict has caused inflation

6. It's Climate Change

But now, all of a sudden, inflation wasn't due to any of those issues. Inflation is all price gauging by greedy companies.

So, lefties, which one is it?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

We might be going into a recession.
And the Democrats will blame it on the Republicans no matter who wins.

LOL.....Price-Gouging.....The last gasp of a FUBAR administration.

What causes inflation? Historically mass spending, money you just print out of thin air which they are doing today, so there is that.

But what you listed is also accurate. All of them have contributed. I would just add that the Climate change angle has only contributed to inflation due to the governments of the world declaring war on fossil fuels. This has driven up costs by farmers being told they can't use as much carbon emitting fertilizer which creates more shortages and the cost of fuel to simply travel, etc.

The response of governments all around the world also caused shortages, massive ones, which we are still reeling from

Really, inflation is responsible for pretty much all of it, yet they will not accept responsibility for their actions.

Naturally, the media will not hold them to account either since they spew their propaganda.

Crop prices fell since June 2022, Corn, Wheat & Soybean prices are now at a 12 year low!!! Also fuel prices are way down.

Yet food processors & retailors are still price gouging. Crop Giant Cargill Reports Biggest Profit in 156-Year History & they control 25% of food supply.​

Harris is going to tell the companies to lower their prices. That will do it. At the same time Progs will raise the minimum wage.

Yeah, inflation is totally under control but current high prices are due to price gauging. People need to stop and think about this. It doesn't make sense. They've also spent years telling us that high prices were due to supply chain issues from the pandemic and wars around the world. Now, all of a sudden, high prices are due to price gauging. None of it adds up if you think about it. They're counting on people not thinking about it.

Dem idiots have 101 excuses for their failures.

If she puts price controls on, she ain't seen nothing yet. All of these recipients of democrat handouts and high minimum wages, will have no place to spend it ---- if they have a job.

Let's be honest, so long as the politicians and government workers get their taxpayer funded check they don't give a shit.

People can't afford to live anymore due to several reasons. Fancy cherry picked graphs don't change that.

 

[Mac1958]

The inflation was decades in the making and both parties played a role in it.

Only a political partisan would deny that.

Cargill Revenue Declines as Trader Struggles With Profit Targets​

Cargill Profit Drops 43% From Record High

Cargill Inc.’s annual profit nearly halved in its latest fiscal year amid rising costs, a declining meat business and lower agricultural prices from a fading commodities boom.

Cargill Profit Drops 43% From Record High​

• US crop trader’s annual net income falls 43% to $3.81 billion
• A decline in meat business and higher costs eroded earnings

So weird you used Cargill as an example....they have been slammed big time by Xiden and Harris inflation

Always there to provide cover for the left. In this case, it is the old grade school method. "Well, they did it too."

This is directly in line with the increases in fuel, oil and fertilizer prices that increased phenomenally after the policies that the Biden admin put in place in Jan. 2021. Fuel and oil more than doubled in price and fertilizers followed by nearly identical amounts.
