Yes, I do. And so did you. And Every Republican. Your group just changed your mind when your team got out of power. Thats why nobody will find a post anywhere from you on this board crying about checks during the era of Donny One-term. You courageously waited until your team was out of office before fabricating your tear drops and fictional story about some other choice.
I dont begrude people who have different ideologies. But people who swap their ideologies around depending on political winds are a special kind of liar. Facebook was made for trolls like you, Charles.
What an idiot. I haven't changed any tune. It's just I can see how irresponsible Biden's 1.9 Trillion dollar "covid relief" was when the economy was steadily recovering and reopening....and you can't. I know the difference between enough deficit spending make up for a shortfall in demand and 100 Billion a month over that shortfall....and you don't. You wanted to pump in another 5 trillion and sane people stopped that.
If you think this is lying or swapping ideologies, then why I don't see you whining about Larry Summers calling the American Rescue plan "‘least responsible’ economic policy in 40 years"? You know who Larry is, right? Former Obama Secretary of Treasury and key Obama Sr. Advisor. He and I don't agree on much, but we agreed on this. So PJ must now think that Larry Summers is swapping his ideology around based on the political winds. No. He just follows the science. And it's not just him. Jason Furman former Sr. Advisor to President Obama and Oliver Blanchard former chief economist at the IMF made similar predictions. These guys are not conservatives or monetarists by any stretch, but they predicted this outcome based on overstimulating the economy too.....why isn't PJ calling them liars or turncoats to their ideologies? It's simple. Because the Biden administration fucked up and he won't admit it.
Now before you put words in my mouth, please note that I have never said that Biden's ARP or the Infrastructure bill were the ONLY causes of our inflation. There's other factors too. Like the Fed. Like the war on fossil fuel. Like the 'supply chain' (I though Mayor Pete fixed that) and Ukraine. But if you look at the core US inflation rate compared to a group of OECD economies you'll see we kind of stand out. There's a reason for that.

I just wonder who PJ is going blame for Joe's next failure. Or are you simply going to follow Kevin's model and claim that nothing that goes wrong is ever the Democrat President's fault, but everything was Trumps fault? You're running out of scapegoats.
Oh and one more fact. You said we had 10 years of 'deflation'. Words have meaning. Deflation is a specific term for declining prices. You know the opposite of increasing prices. In the last 60 years, the US experienced 1 single year of deflation. 2009. Kind of shows what you know.
Oh and one last comment. Because of my income, I received 0 stimulus dollars. ZERO. So according to your comments I can bitch all I want about this horrible inflation, right? Or are you now going to tell me I can't complain because I make too much money. You can't make this shit up! Well you can.
Unfortunately, after a few days of rest and relaxation I have to get back to work so I won't be able to educate you more for a while. Of course I have to work a lot more now just to maintain my standard of living because.....Bidenflation! See you next time!
