Just #1 is a prime example of printing more dollars making each dollar worth less, inflation.
#2. Have you bothered looking at your gas, electric and gasoline bills lately. Inflation galore! How are electric plants powered? COAL! Lol!
#3. Once again you confuse socialism with welfare nets. The “community” is those running the community’s government. Forcing people to spread the wealth around but not for welfare purposes. There are small communities that have managed this line the Amish. But, that’s about it. Mormons tried it in the 1830’s and it flopped. But, we aren’t talking about small communities. We are talking about political governments forcing people to spread the wealth around. Unfortunately, I have to say it again, the people in control don’t spread their wealth into the population under Socialist governments. They become the “pigs” of Animal Farm. Scandinavian countries are not these governments. Scandinavian countries allow people to keep their property including money after they pay into the welfare net. If they don’t like it, they are free to move to another country. Try that with the USSR or China or Cuba. I don’t understand why a bright person like yourself can’t grasp the difference between what China does and what the Scandinavians do.
#4. Kensian economics destroys wage growth and promotes socialist methods of redistribution forcefully. Wage growth skyrocketed under Trump even for Blacks due to deregulation of business and lowering taxes for those who make jobs for others and pays them. And, when prices of goods are inflated, corporations pass the price increases and wage increases to the consumers expanding inflation. Let the market control prices and wages. It worked for Trump and blacks.
#5. Some of the countries in Western Europe are going down the same rabbit hole the U.S. is going, towards communist socialism. Not the Scandinavian countries. Forcing people who didn’t go to college or those who did and got good educations with meaningful degrees to pay for the lazy poor choices of college students is socialism and tyranny. It’s being attempted by force by Biden. In other words, shut up and sit down or go to jail.
- Increased money supply does not always lead to inflation. Post-2008, for example, significant increases in the money supply did not yield hyperinflation (source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).
- Energy price inflation stems largely from supply-demand imbalances, not solely from clean energy transitions. Renewable energy could stabilize prices long-term (Forbes).
- Socialism, defined as community control over production, doesn't imply lack of freedom. Many democratic countries, including in Western Europe, have implemented socialist policies while preserving political freedoms.
- Wage growth during Trump's tenure followed a long wage stagnation period. This growth wasn't evenly distributed among workers (Economic Policy Institute).
- Many Western European countries have mixed market economies with strong social safety nets. Universal education, seen as an investment in these nations, doesn't equate to tyranny.
