This is not entirely true. Inflation is influenced by the economics of supply and demand, which the president does have some limited control over.You do understand that inflation is not controlled by the president right? It's controlled by the free market of capitalism. So, bitch somewhere else, or wait for trickle down economics, AKA, piss trickling down.
This is not entirely true. Inflation is influenced by the economics of supply and demand, which the president does have some limited control over.
Both Keynesians and monetarists believe that inflation is caused by an increase in aggregate demand. There are also certain factors which operate on the opposite side and tend to reduce the aggregate supply... which can affect inflation.
The factors which affect aggregate demand:
1) Increase in the money supply. This is controlled by monetary policy, which is set by the Federal Reserve. So, the President has nothing to do with this factor.
2) Increase in disposable income. When the disposable income of the people increases, it raises their demand for goods and services. Disposable income may increase with a reduction in taxes, which stems from a president's fiscal policy.
3) Increase in public expenditure. This also pertains, at least somewhat to a president's fiscal policy. Although, Congress holds the purse strings responsible for the allocation of funds.
4) Increase in consumer spending. The president has no direct control over this factor.
5) Cheap monetary policy. It's set by the Federal Reserve. The president has control over this factor.
6) Deficit financing. This is when the government spends more money than it receives, with the difference being made by borrowing or minting new funds. The president's fiscal policy does have at least some impact here.
7) Expansion of the private sector. The president has no control over this factor.
8) Black money. This is when people accumulate income by way of illegal means. Obviously. the president has no control over this factor.
9) Repayment of public debt. Whenever the government repays its past internal debt to the public, it leads to an increase in the money supply with the public. It's fair to say that the president has at least an indirect role in this factor because a fiscal surplus is needed for this to happen, and that usually involves raising taxes, which the president is at least partially responsible for.
10) Increase in exports. When the demand for domestically produced goods increases in foreign countries, this raises the earnings of industries producing export commodities. In turn, this creates more demand for goods and services within the economy, thereby leading to a rise in the price level. The president can exert some influence over trade, through imposing tariffs and duties and entering into trade agreements.
Oh.
So me pointing out he incorrectly applied a term led you to infer that I was playing a victim.
Gotcha.
The ruling on the field that you and he are double threats of dumb was confirmed.
The Hill isn't quite as bad as CNN. CNN is by far the absolute worst that's out there. TYT a close second. Mother Jones is even better than them.
The Hill is a right wing publisher? Are you serious? It prints commentary as well as news stories and from what I've see they have a number of conservative writers they publish, for instance R. Lowry. The bottom line is you conservatives won't accept anything that doesn't conform to your viewpoint because you don't care about the truth. That's how we ended up with Trump.
Maybe but there are female Democrats in the same boat with Blackburn. You stray from the point. I know there are Democrats who probably feel the same about some of their female Senators and Representatives just as there are Republicans who feel the same way about their party's female elected leadersWhat?!?!?
So can we just admit that democrats only care about female and minority candidates if they are running as a democrat.
No the fact that you are implying that he is implying you are hypocritical, when in fact he was not, makes you seem like you are playing the victim card.
Yep. A pretty good case was made in an HBO documentary series that Ron Watkins is Q Anon. That won't stop @VolinWayne from posting his stuff here, though... even after his claims have been debunked, such as the "deleted Maricopa County election files" allegation was recently.Wow, QAnon all over this.
My question wasn't about Republicans. My point is democrats are constantly going on with their woke, virtur signaling BS. They don't mean it and they are not sincere. Plenty of examples to prove it and the election between Bredesen and Blackburn is just one of them.Maybe but there are female Democrats in the same boat with Blackburn. You stray from the point.

I will admit. When The Hill, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News for example do report actual non political news they all do a fantastic job. When there is a major weather event - Fox, CNN, and MSNBC do a great job covering those. However the news also became politicized and I guess the networks have a viewer base to cater to as well. Now all the cable news networks seem to be about politics 90 to 95 percent of the time. If not more. This has also allowed other networks like Newsmax, OAN, and TYT to come about.It was a joke. Haha.
I personally accept the fact that people have their own viewpoints. But the fact of the matter is, I do not have to agree with them.
I do not read the hill on the daily basis, not do I consider them a far left news source. I do however find when I do partake of their content, it is left leaning. Not as far left as CNN, but yes left leaning.

So you're saying Democrats should have proudly supported Blackburn? Who as a rep, brought legislation which helped pharma to continue their onslaught of opioids into an already deadly addicted market?My question wasn't about Republicans.

Wow. Really? With that logic I guess we could say drug addiction really hot hit Tennessee hard in the 2000s when Bredesen was governor. So I guess we can put some blame on him while we're at it right?So you're saying Democrats should have proudly supported Blackburn?

And last I checked big pharma donated quite the substantial amount to dems the last election. And drug problems also hit blue states and blue cities just as hard if not worse than red states.
What about ballots from China?
Ballots folded wrong?
The duplicate numbering on ballots?
The consecutive numbering on ballots?
The signatures that didn't match?

Don’t kid yourself. College students are still overwhelmingly liberal.That’s just it. The current climate has made everything political. I think it’s profound that many groups of college students that weren’t allowed to attend games last year are pushing back on the regime this year. This used to be a dem voting block. Not anymore. FJB
I get where you’re coming from but, to be fair, reminders are everywhere with protests, masks, and more. It’s hard to escape for those that are wanting to do so, especially if you’re watching on TV.The former guys sucked donkey balls, too. If you're at a college football game and that's whats on your mind, you suck donkey balls. Get it? Have a few minutes without Biden or Trump living in your brain.
Of course all presidents lay crap at the feet of their predecessor but where in that response did he mention Obama? It seems to be like Trump was basically saying this is unprecedented so there’s no blame to be had.This is a fair sentiment as long as you have been consistent with it.
You tell me ... Were you critical of Trump when he blamed the Obama administration for the lack of coronavirus tests in March of 2020? This happened over 3 years into Trump's presidency.
This was an answer that President Donald Trump gave on March 13, 2020 to a question of whether or not he took any responsibility for the slow rate of coronavirus testing which was taking place in the United States at the time :
"No, I don't take responsibility at all. Because we were given a - a set of circumstances, and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time. It wasn't meant for this kind of - an event with the kind of numbers that we're talking about." - President Donald Trump
If you can be honest with yourself for a moment, the buck never stopped with Trump. He frequently sought to shift blame to Obama, throughout his 4 years in office.
I specifically heard democrats say when Trump was president that everything was his fault and they didn't care what Obama did. Now that they have one of their own as president they still try to find ways to blame Trump. They did this same crap for 8 years with Obama where nothing was his fault. It was always Bush, McConnell, or Republicans during his terms. NOTHING is ever their fault. It's the same old tired game with them.
And now they love George W Bush. The same man they despised for 16 years. That might be one of the media's biggest accomplishments. They got democrats hating Trump so much that they now love Bush.
