When republicans left the administration inflation was 1.5% and now it’s 8.5%

You do understand inflation is a world wide phenomenon? And the problem is timing: the international slowdown that came from COVID in 2019-2021 caused problems in the supply chain raising prices. But that takes time to propagate.

And demonstrably the companies are taking the opportunity to price gouge, so some of the inflation comes from that. Are you blaming the companies at all?

Right that’s why our federal reserve printed the most money in a 2 year span in history. I’m not even going to get into this anyone anymore. I can’t believe how uneducated people are.

And guess who appointed the chair of the federal reserve in 2018. Hint: it was a republican. Wow you are dense.

And corporate profits are insane right now. The American PEOPLE are being fleeced right now. By the same corporations that take government subsidies and then jack up the prices. Oil companies are making massive profits at the moment. Good for them right? They take billions in subsidies from the government then still jack up the price. Why? Because it’s easy to point the finger at the people wanting to take your billions of corporate handouts away. It’s political market manipulation. It’s the same reason those stupid ‘I Did That’ stickers were ridiculous. The President doesn’t control the price of gas. The corporations do.

So what do you suggest before my rebuttal? As well how do you think the democrats handle this issue as opposed to the republicans?

Right so me calling you dumb for not understanding how inflation works is the same as you calling me dumb for saying your dumb? Why didn’t I think of that?

Explain how that’s Democrats’ fault and explain how, in detail, Republicans would fix it. I doubt you can do either beyond basic Fox Noise talking points
