Idiots all.

Boilerman was on radio silence when Trump doubled his predecessor's government spending...and that was before COVID and the multi-trillion dollar stimulus he signed.        Cause that didnt print money.....only Biden's much smaller package.  

 

Inflation is the result of a booming economy,      So I guess Trump gets credit for the economy and Biden gets credit for the inflation.

Reading comprehension an issue for you?  I didn't blame inflation on build back boondoggle.  I pointed out how much worse it would be had this spending bill passed.  How anyone say with a straight face that pumping trillions more government spending into an economy at full employment is not inflationary?  I think the last time I pointed out that we know very well what causes inflation and what the cure is you attacked me for being a Monetarist.  What changed?  When did you realize that inflation wasn't 'transitory'.  

 

As I pointed out, the growth under Trump was solid with low inflation and good employment until the lockdowns.  Then, as I also pointed out, we did not experience an economic catastrophe.  We had a 2 quarter recession….shortest on record...and then continued growth as states reopened their economies.

 

I kind of remember Democrats around here blaming Trump for Covid.  One idiot blamed Trump personally for his friend that died (I kind of doubt that person really has any friends).  You don't hear those arguments anymore since more Americans have died of Covid under Biden than Trump and Joe had the vaccine handed to him.  You just can't make this shit up.  

 

Tell me truthfully PJ.  If Trump had actually won in 2020 and Putin invaded Ukraine exactly how it happened wouldn't you use every opportunity to blame Trump?  Wouldn't you be saying he was in Putin's pocket and allowed it?  Would you let Republicans get away with blaming inflation on Putin?  Would you ignore our drop in real wages and reduced standard of living in the Biden economy and just toss it off to 'shit happens'.  Somehow I don't think so.


You can see all my historical posts on this board for Trump.   I called him out when he fucked up ...and I didnt when he didnt.  I've even defended him when there was a gas price spike early in his administration and I used the same arguments I did for Joe Biden.    And I also defended Trump's tough stance on China.  Google my posts.   So, in short, I dont change my ideology based upon who is in the White House.   ANd I sure as hell dont make up shit about how things work.  

 

If your fact based argument for cause and effect is a hypothetical scenario for the shoe being on the other foot and how people would react then you dont really have anything, do you Charles?  Just alot of anger of frustration.

2016 spending $3,077b

2020 spending $3,777b

 

That isn't double


Link, or it's just another lie.

Also Obama was POTUS IN 2016, so.....

No, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office told us that Biden's infrastructure plan wouldn't fuel inflation. No need to stupidly lie, Boiler.

 

No one is saying inflation is Putin's fault. No need to stupidly lie, Boiler.

 

Quite frankly, you're the idiot here. And there are no "Lib's."

I see where it will increase the deficit but nowhere does it say it will not fuel inflation

And nowhere does it say that it WILL, stupid Tommie-poo, and that's what you've been claiming all along!

 

Stupid Tommie-poo.

In order to establish the increase in spending in Trump's 4 years a baseline spending amount had to be established using obama's last year as a base.

 

The toad isn't very bright

Nope, GED toad is dumb as a post.  

 

However, Kevin and PJ have said the economy is great for months as well......oops.  I think Mr Picture might have passed.  A tragic loss for society there.
