Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The thing is that legislation was bragged about and pushed hard.

They own the good and the bad of it.


They just don’t want to “man up” and own it

Of course. They want the credit for the good it did and not to accept blame for the bad. So they deflect about record profits and say inflation is all the fault of greedy corporations or some claptrap like that. When massive fiscal stimulus caused the inflation, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows it. 

I also note that on the other side, they want to hang inflation on the administration, but I don't see any of them giving credit for the US having the strongest post-COVID recovery in the first world, for 2 1/2 years of <4% unemployment, for the DJIA at record highs, etc. They want the admin to have all the blame for the bad but none of the credit for the good. 

It's standard politics. 

Without the $1.9 trillion 2021 American Rescue Plan potlach and the $1.2 trillion 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is quite likely the inflation would never have happened.  VP Harris had the tie breaking votes on both of those bills in the Senate.

We gave away well more than half a trillion in stimulus money and business handouts before that. Plus The supply chain was also all messed up, and the government wasn’t gonna save that.

There wouldn’t have been negative inflation or even normal inflation on account of those alone. Plus the next admin almost assuredly wouldn’t have suddenly gone to austerity policies.

It’s ok to acknowledge that an obvious shock was gonna have consequences soon enough. Did disfavored policies help? Nope. But if the only answer is that specific policies, I don’t like a responsible for all the problems, that basically robs credibility when using any of these metrics. 

The War on Immigrants clearly didn't help and clearly contributed to inflation, as well.

A focus group of one.     What war😂😂😂

such a ridiculous take.  

Don't live in denial. Obviously, excessive restrictions on labor will increase the costs of goods and services. As we actually saw when plenty of businesses had huge problems in getting and keeping employees in the wake of COVID.

 Better than living in fantasy land. 

yes- employers struggled to get employees in the wake of Covid because because of the war on immigrants. ( the war that never happened). 

Not because the government handouts were richer than the employment.   Get a clue and learn something about economics please

Yeah Trump was famous for his welcoming message to immigrants. Might as well go full on delusional.

Oh, now I see your point. The incredible and painful rise in inflation during the Biden administration caused by his fiscal policy was really the fault of the President before him for talking about wanting legal immigration versus illegally immigration. 😂😂😂😂.   You are truly delusional.  

Not to mention the millions of dollars of taxpayer money spent on un vetted illegal immigrants for housing, food, education, medical, and transportation to all the cities that the Biden administration ship them to.   But it was Trumps fault. 😂😂😂😂😂

Let's see.

• Trump ran on a message of drastically reducing immigration
• Trump claimed he successfully reduced immigration
• After COVID inflation occurred, triggered in part to a lack of labor due to decreased immigration
• Honest Buckeye says "it's everything else! Not that! Not that!"

This is basic economics and can't be escaped by wishing it away. I will say the Dems didn't really do anything to address the issue, and Congress was mostly helpless on the issue despite a clear need, though that is typical of them these days.

I can’t have a debate with someone who is so separated from the actual facts.  You truly are delusional.  I can’t even believe you wrote what you just wrote. 

I’ll just take your word for it. The torrid spending and money printing that went on during the Biden ministration and clearly caused inflation was really really the fault of the person before him.  Struggling employment after Covid was because of Donald Trump not because of the government handouts.  OK, you win  😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
