More money in liberals pockets too, they just won’t say it out loud.

More money in my pocket is so bittersweet if I end up having to pay for more and more things that used to be part of the general welfare paid for by the government provision. I'm gonna need all that extra money when all social services are on the cutting room floor. It's not me I'm worried about though. I hope you all saved enough for retirement. You're gonna need it.

“if”. So you live in fear and worrying about retirement but disregards the last four years. Those needing a second or third job to make payments, buy groceries and gas as the cost of living skyrocketed under your liberal vote. But hang on to the word “if”.

If you think the inflation problem is a result of the last 4 years, you clearly don't understand what's going on. But hey, some people just can't see too far in front of their nose and kick the dog when things go wrong, because the dog is the closest thing to blame.

What steps were taken the last 4 years to help combat inflation?

The only thing that can realistically fix it. Hike interest rates.

I wish Trump had the intelligence to have done it when it should have been done, but he wanted to keep the party going and drink more to fix the hangover that was setting in.


COVID was the perfect storm to exacerbate an already bad situation which halted the supply chain. Congress and Trump threw gasoline on the fire with the the CARES Act.

There is no magic wand. You gotta pay the price. Raise interest rates and suffer until inflation is brought under control.

You can blame the hangover on Biden who was in power during the headache, but I prefer to blame the ones doing all the boozing.

But raising corporate tax rates and trying to set price controls will help?

A lot of wordsmithing to not say anything. You’re one of those, who believes if they say sarcastic remarks with no answer at another it somehow reflects great intellect. So, again you’re worried about the word “if”, while neglecting to address those needing 2-3 jobs to makes ends meet.

Keep driving up the hill that the wealthy need to pay their fair share. It’s us vs. them. It’s Main Street vs. Wall Street.

They don't massively help or hurt inflation in reality. They raise the cost of doing business to provide for the general welfare. One can argue whether that's a good or bad thing policy-wise, but thats a separate issue. We've enjoyed low inflation with much higher corporate tax rates in history when monetary policy was healthy. Inflation is far more dependent on monetary supply and borrowing rates than tax rates and price controls decisions. That more closely has an affect on corporate profits. Maybe that leads to companies trying to raise prices, but usually by pennies.

But our local left leaning political experts assure us all this is completely overblown and Trump is missing the joke with the garbage truck response 🤡

Bill Maher warns that Biden's 'garbage' comment is a 'bigger gaffe than people think': 'Deplorables times 10'

Bill Maher warns that Biden's 'garbage' comment is a 'bigger gaffe than people think': 'Deplorables times 10'

"I think it's a bigger gaffe than people think," Maher began his panel discussion Friday night. "It's so funny, Joe Biden, his whole career, he was like Mr. Gaffe, and then here at the very end -- he's like Aaron Judge in Game Six. He just f--kin' muffed the fly ball and at the end of the thing, and blew the whole [game]."

"Because I feel like it epitomizes everything that the Trump people hate about the Democrats. They look down at us. It's like ‘deplorables’ times ten," Maher said.

"The Fifth Column" podcast co-host Michael Moynihan agreed with Maher, saying it reaffirms the belief that "the elite" hate Trump supporters and swiftly dismissed the media's debate over "the apostrophe" because it was "clear" what Biden was talking about, stressing it was "not a net-positive for Democrats."

Yeah, that teenager that died last week because she couldn't get an abortion has nothing to do with it. Or forcing rape victims to have babies. We all just want to freely kill all the babies. Duh.
