  1. Another example of government causing a problem and now that same government is placing blame on the private sector to avoid accountability and taking measures to “fix” a problem they created. When will Biden and the left ever learn they can’t have it both ways? We were energy independent until this President came to power and he has done nothing but make things worse. Very sad.

    1. Absolutely correct!!
      I heard a talk show host one explain the difference between most ( not all )
      Dems and Republicans.
      He said —-
      1). Many Dems come from an activist background are used to screaming
      and shreiking to get their way. They general,y don’t come from the
      private sector and therefore don’t understand how how the economy works.

      2). Most Republicans come from the private sector and have managed
      and owned companies. So they understand how 5he economy works.
      They also understand following processes and procedures because of their
      business backgrounds.

  2. Democrats are quickly becoming the party of no common sense.

    Limit domestic production to make it more expensive and make the country less energy independent, tax carbon to make it more expensive, spend more than you have, then tell businesses they cannot adjust their prices according to supply/demand.

    It’s as if they have no concept of general economics. It’s also like the value green energy above the lower class people who pay the largest price for the cost of such policies.

    1. It’s worse than that, they are incompetent and have no idea of what they are really doing!

    2. The Dems are absolutely incompetent. They are to focused on Wokeism
      and identify politics.

      In fact, I really believe that this is the most incompetent and ignorant
      to their very core group of Democrats that we have ever had in Congress.

  3. For inflation to happen you have to have an increase in the money supply. (Price increases are a symptom not a cause of inflation.) As the Trump and Biden administrations tried to avoid an economic collapse during Covid-19, they pumped a ton of money into the economy with several government handouts that weren’t paid for. The inflation we have now is as a result of those policies that ran up the deficit.

    But even before Covid-19, the Trump administration and congressional allies was engaging in severe deficit spending. The annual deficit was increasing dramatically even when the economy was booming. When an economy is booming, you shouldn’t have deficits period. Trump didn’t care about huge deficits because he knew the impact of those deficits (inflation) wouldn’t hit until down the road.

    Bottom line is commentators on this forum need to stop the nonsense that inflation was caused by Democratic policies. I’m a Republican and our fiscal policies at the national level have been truly awful and have contributed to the problem we are now dealing with.
