What specific republican policies would combat inflation?

[Lesh]

Yeah, I can't stand Trump, but that's not correct.

Trump's Keynsian policies were exactly what every progressive would promote. But Biden just poured fuel over the fire.

Inflation would still be high. But Biden's policies made it higher. Maybe it would be 6% instead of 8%.

Really? How much stimulus was passed under the Trump admin as opposed to the Biden admin?

We should have numbers here if we’re going to discuss it intelligently

 

[Billy000]

You are and you're not...

Okay then explain how I am incorrect. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

 

[Billy000]

Liberals looking for handouts again. Sad.

You guys love saying this regardless of whether or not it makes sense to say it. Are you that insecure?

Trump contributed more to inflation than Biden

That's just bovine excrement. Inflation was very low, under 2% during the Trump Presidency and gasoline was 1/2 the price it is under Sleepy Joe.

The solution to the inflation problem is the disposal of Biden.

 

[Toro]

Really? How much stimulus was passed under the Trump admin as opposed to the Biden admin?

We should have numbers here if we’re going to discuss it intelligently

$2.3 billion under Trump and $2.8 billion under Biden.

But it's not just the numbers. It's where the economy was when the policies were passed. The economy was collapsing when Trump passed his and the economy was recovering when Biden passed his.

Larry Summers was correct when he said that the Biden stimulus bills were inflationary.

 

[Darkwind]

Neither party has a policy to specifically address out-of-control inflation.

Clearly, the inflation is a result of the radical Democrat party flooding the world's economies with trillions upon trillions of spending, 80% of which is targeted at paydays for party supporters.

The Feds are about to drive us into a depression by being too aggressive with interest rates and not enough effort is being made to claw back all those dollars flooding the economic markets of the US and their trickle affects into the global economy.

The first step is to remove the radical Democrats from any influencing power in the US government.

The next step is to stop any unspent monies from past legislation from hitting the streets.

The last step is to reduce the budget until it is 500 billion dollars lower than the tax receipts.

This eliminates the deficit and provides significant cash to be used toward paying down the debt.

Do this, and inflation will disappear within 3 months of enactment.

Really? How much stimulus was passed under the Trump admin as opposed to the Biden admin?

We should have numbers here if we’re going to discuss it intelligently

The CARES Act passed in the Trump Admin amounted to 2.2 Trillion. He passed a second funding bill that covered COVID stimulus as well as some other spending issues that amounted to 900billon. It’s safe to say he spent well over 2.5 T on COVID stimulus and we have spent a total of 4 T on COVID relief USAspending.gov

Trump owns most of that 4 T…

Your numbers don’t match what I found. Curious where you got them.

And the economy was still hurting when Biden passed his relief bill. We would not be where we are now without it

If that's not what you found, then your research is bad.

And you definitely correct about not being where we are without it. The inflation rate would certainly be lower. Just ask Larry Summers. Because economics.

Being energy independent.

Produce more crops.

Protect tech patents.

Secure our borders.

Halt "green" energy policies.

Oh yeah...Everything that TRUMP did!

 

[Lesh]

And it’s hard to believe that Biden spent 2.8 T on COVID relief when his entire two year term has only added 3T

US National Debt by Year

The U.S. national debt was over $31 trillion in 2022. In 1930, it was just $16 billion. The biggest impacts have been defense spending, recessions, and recently, the pandemic.

Where do you idiots get this idea we were energy independent and the border being secure under Trump?

 

[Lesh]

Trump added 3 T to the debt over three years WITHOUT COVID
And 3.5 in his last year

Corporate profits are already sky high and record breaking.

Tax cuts for corporations or the wealthy do nothing to help the middle class and poor. Republicans don’t actually pass permanent tax cuts for the poor or middle class. The tax cuts they do pass blow up the deficit. That’s not good for inflation, now is it?

Regulations do very little to harm the economy. Getting rid of more of them won’t do anything. But hell again corporate profits are already sky high either way.

Then there’s the other Republican policy……oh wait…..never mind that’s it. There aren’t any more economic policies from the GOP.

They are completely useless. Voting for them makes zero fucking sense. This inflation problem is going nowhere.

I know you just want to spread your propaganda, but specifically opening up the process of drilling and producing our oil rather than buying from other nations will help America economically while increasing the world's supply of oil which will cut costs and bring down prices.

YOU are completely useless and base EVERYTHING you post on the hate you have for those who don't agree with you. Frankly, I find you pathetic.

Not worthy of a response. Thread abandoned!

You people never bother to do the most basic of research huh? There are currently 9000 drill permits on federal land that are approved and NOT being used. Why would they when oil profits are already sky high? 5000 of them were approved in 2021.

Before 1998, the GOP was filled with supporters of

But Fox News had long since weeded those out...l

Explain how U.S. spending caused worldwide inflation.

Explain why Britain, ruled for the past 20 years by a conservative government, has 10% inflation during a prolonged period of austerity.

Mindlessly tossing the word "conservative" here is laughable. The Tory party spends just like Jeff sessions and W did...

What drove inflation and the deficit down was BALANCING tax inflows vs spending instead of printing trillions of dollars of borrowed "money."

That involves math and finance, and a parrot like you uses words you cannot even define...
