I hope we don't, but our education system seems flawed af if the average American can look at Trump, and all of his lies and deceit, and go "yea, that's my guy!"

Trump had $35 million donated to him after the guilty verdict. Crazy that a supposed billionaire needs any donations at all, but here we are.

I voted for Biden and donated $0. Why? Cause a politician that should win should also need $0 in donations to win. They are not a sponsored team. They are not a king/queen. They should not be viewed as sent by God or some other deity. Trumpers have a hard time fathoming this.

Joe Biden is already elected, congrats

That doesn't help you either chief. Trump blew up the deficit besides having a strong economy his first 3 years. You also obviously weren't. You were trying to blame Biden for things that happened under Trump, because there's been a concerted efforts by Republicans to blame Biden for the lockdowns and you aren't smart enough to look at a calendar. I get your trying desperately to run away from a very very stupid set of claims but don't make it so obvious.

As for a source, Moodys spells it out clearly in their Nov 2023 report. It's accepted by virtually every economics professional at this point that stimulus was not the major cause of inflation just so you know. The data is extremely obvious.


"Behind the economy’s surprisingly good performance is inflation’s more-or-less graceful retreat. What most
pessimists got wrong was their view that inflation was largely fueled by overly strong demand, pumped up by
stimulatory fiscal policy. If so, they reasoned, the only way to get inflation back down was for the Fed to jack up
interest rates and hit demand hard, causing a recession.
But this was largely a misdiagnosis. The high inflation was instead largely the result of the supply shocks caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic that scrambled supply chains and the job market, and by the Russian war in
Ukraine and the resulting surge in oil, natural gas, agricultural and other commodity prices. The inflation caused
by these massive shocks conflated and pushed up inflation expectations and wage growth. And that raised the
specter of a dreaded wage-price spiral"



Some people are going to read this and go "but they did pump interest rates so I was right!" They did, but we are still at extremely low interest rates. If the cause was truly monetary policy, an increase of a few percentage points would not drop inflation from 10% to 3.5%. Last time something like this happened we went to over 10% for several half a decade as a point of comparison.

Yeah, it blows my mind, i doubled my net worth in the last 5 years without doing anything at all.

The left has controlled the Senate and the Executive branch for 3.5 years.
The current economy is their fault.

Any other explanation is pure fiction.

I obviously wasn't what? So you're not discerning enough to not follow that when I'm talking about wars and everything else I'm taking a longer historical look? lol.

It's funny you would mention Moody's when they recently downgraded our credit rating and revised our outlook to negative with explicit reason being unsustainable fiscal spending. Literally what I've been saying.

As far as blaming Trump for Covid spending, I find it hilarious how in this Orwellian historical revisionist fashion, that spend is his fault now. Last I remember, the arguments during Covid was economics vs safety, with Democrats yelling at the top of their lungs that Republicans who refuse to shut down their states and mail checks are killing people. But if we were honest Covid spend doesn't fall on Trump, because it was a collective of all sides agreeing on it and just like if a huge natural disaster wiped out Florida today and we had to spend trillions in aid really shouldn't be categorized as bad spend to Biden. Because a discerning person actually understands that exogenous black swan events like that are not in the same bucket as frivolous spending that can reduced.

Your desperation to change the subject is noted.

We are talking about inflation, which was not caused by fiscal policy.

Inflation reduction act.

It's absolutely caused by fiscal spending. Even literal congressional documents readily available clearly mention in. Rating agencies acknowledge it, congressional docs acknowledge it, pretty much everyone acknowledges it, aside from liars looking to shift responsibility for political reasons.
