MAGA child says TDS, I respond with, "You have cooties", just because I'm trying to talk with you at your intellectual level.

Biden inflation 5.9% annually - good

 

Trump inflation 2.7% -bad

 

Liberals are bad at math. 


What happened to "I will lower prices on day 1!", which you dutifully parroted on these forums? Lower inflation isn't lower prices, remember how you parroted that MAGA phrase, as well?

  Whatever happened to (1) "you can keep your doctor", (2) the cost will be about what you pay for your cellphone", (3) "you can keep your plan", (4) "reduced premiums and healthcare costs" --- where was your bitching then? Instead of focusing on one "promise" that has yet to be fulfilled, try focusing on all of the other promises kept.In case YOU havn't figured it out yet, fixing 4 YEARS of corrupt DemocRAT governing will not be fixed in 11 months. By the way, lower inflation will lead to lower food costs.

Lower inflation still means higher food costs. Any inflation at all over 0% means prices are going up. God, you're an idiot.

 

Trump made a LOT of promises that "have yet to be fulfilled." I'm not going to bother to list them all; you'll just make excuses.

 

But if you want to talk about healthcare...how many years has it been since your orange master PROMISED to come up with a bigly awesome health plan that would be seven hundred times better than Obamacare? Ten years now?

 

You really should stop slurping on his dick 😛😛😛😛😛


Only 2.7% for the year; 3 points below biden and below the historical average.  Where is kevin pj and the rest of the usual suspects 10% plus?

Using aggregate inflation during Biden's term is a Tom-stat. Dishonest and inaccurate for comparison purposes.

The MIT-Sloan study of inflation indicated that 42% of it was caused by Covid stimulus spending.  There was $5 trillion of stimulus spending.  $1.9 trillion was signed into law by Biden and $3.1 trillion by Trump.  Those involved with the study didn't have a opinion on if it was good or bad.  Taking 42% of 9.1% inflation is 3.8%.  Dividing it by the stimulus dollars will have 2.4% associated with Trump stimulus and 1.4% with Biden stimulus.  Here is the study: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/federal-spending-was-responsible-2022-spike-inflation-research-shows

No, no, no, Robert! ITZ AWL BIDENZ FAWLT! Read the Tom-stats!

 

What MAGA never mentions is that inflation during Biden's term (I refuse to use the inaccurate phrase "under Biden") was partially caused by government stimulus THAT PROVED TO BE AN EXCELLENT IDEA, since our economy recovered from the pandemic more quickly and completely than almost any other in the world. Things like Tom criticize that inflation as if it had occured in a vacuum.

Aggregate inflation was 24%; the average was 5.9%.  kevin continues to have trouble with numbers. 

 

kevin and company said 2025 inflation would be more than 10%.  It didn't happen

You said prices would be lower. It didn't happen.
