    I love how republicans have absolutely left out that the inflation we currently have is almost 100% driven by the most basic concept of capitalism: Supply and Demand.

    Demand is currently exceeding supply.

    Why is supply so short…….ask those who said covid was “cold”

    If we'd treated it like that we would have been better off.. Shutting down a country, paying people to hide, clearly had it ill effects too NOW DIDN'T IT ;)

    The monthly deposits workers are making into retirement accounts are assuming WAY LOWER inflation rates. As soon as they are updated for current inflation rates, it will be obvious that they are underfunded and all need larger monthly deposits to meet expected future costs.

    I doubt those folks are funding retirement plans, so, they won't be making increased monthly payments with decreased currency. Biden's destruction of our position as a net energy producer is really hurting. We could sure use cheaper energy costs right now.

    As for the looters, apparently they sell their stolen loot on Amazon.

    That's a big cash flow. Stealing over $10M a year just out of NorCal? just from CVS? and if $950/visit, it's not even a felony?

    Looters selling on Amazon is the Leading Cause of Inflation?

    Oh I won't. EBAY though is supporting legislation that is supposed to stop this, though it looks fairly easy to circumvent. Amazon hasn't even committed to that.

    It's interesting to watch the GOP become a multiethnic party of small business and the working class, while the Dems become the party of rich white urbanites and looters.

    It's been that way for a very long time, they've simply brain washed their constituents to think they are the party of the, and for the poor while keeping them that way for 3/4 of a century.. The real concerning anomaly to all this is how their voter can go on for most their lives groveling and living off crumbs from meager subsistence and still manage to believe their representatives?

    Personally, I'd rather have my reps tell me to get my fat ass to work and create an environment that holds job creation priority #1 instead of promising to keep me in poverty. I guess it boils down to two types, those that strive to achieve and those that simply live to exist..

    This thread is actually comical and should be in humor & satire since we all find it funny that rightists are pretending to care about poor folks.

    Thats why they run on a platform of job creation and economic opportunity and the left run on FREE STUFF and utopian dreams, and controlled starvation :)

    Inflation hits the poor hardest of all.

    If Biden and top dems cared they would stop inflationary spending.

    Right. Let's have the government produce everything. Then we could have high demand and zero supply. Sort of like this commie grocery store.

    Who said anything about the government producing everything ? Why are making things up ?

    We have a GLOBAL supply chain issue. How again is Biden responsible for that?

    The biggest driver of inflation right now is demand. Americans have enough money in their pockets that they are spending it. THANK YOU JOE BIDEN……

    No, you've got nothing and it's good because all the reasons for Bidens low popularity will be around in 2022 and likely 2024.

    Sprinkle all the glitter you'd like.
