Comments by "" (@Mawyou) on "'How'd You Get It So Wrong?': John Kennedy Grills Biden Federal Reserve Nominee On Inflation" video.

Mark is right. Easy money is largely due to the Federal Reserve Bank and it's fight to keep the economy humming during Covid. Yes, the Covid bills passed by Congress also contributed. But easy money did NOT crash the economy. Yes, easy money plus supply chain constraints increased prices. Yes, price increases hurt the average consumer, but by almost every metric, the economy is VERY strong. And wages for lower earners have increased FASTER than inflation. The main fear is that by taking actions to quickly stop inflation, the Federal Reserve will damage the actual economy. But that hasn't acyually happened yet.

@zaktilzer5130 You stated three things that are not quite correct. 1. Supply chains are not "wary of expanding." It just takes time to build and develop the new infrastructure around the world. Years in some cases. But in the end, it will make things MORE efficient for companies, saving them (and you) money. 2. Higher inflation is NOT leading to less buying and investing. Buying and investing is as high as it's ever been, even with higher prices. 3. Currently, there is no problem of slow wage growth causing income inequality. In fact, the opposite is happening. At the moment, people at the lower end of the wage spectrum are seeing their wages increase MUCH FASTER than inflation. This is a very good thing for lowering the inequality you talked about.

@zaktilzer5130 Sometimes I wonder if Republicans are rooting for the economy to fail just so they can kick Democrats out of office. That wouldn't be true would it?

@MarginalCoyote Oops. I didn't realize the law is only "corrupted" when it hurts white conservatives. Just like drug addiction is only a "health crisis" when it hurts white people. Sorry the hypocrisy is not helping you out this time.

@LibertarianRF I disagree. Democrats want us to have a well developed social safety net like most other developed countries. They are fighting against large corporations and economic elites that many Republicans claim to despise but ideologically refuse to do anything about. And they want every citizen to be able to vote. Period. Yes, they push vaccine mandates, but that is the scientifically responsible thing to do and is being done in most other developed nations. To call them fascist is grossly overexaggerating. Republicans....very few policy ideas. Their 2020 platform was LITERALLY "Support Trump". Their 2022 platform is "Defeat Democrats." They flood the zone with conspiracy theories. They push back against any social movement that aims to increase equality. And beyond that, they do not believe that Democrats should be allowed to win elections. To them, if Democrats win, by definition it is because of fraud and therefore illegitimate...... Only one party scapegoats black people, Hispanics, and Muslims for society's problems. And only one party in history has tried to seditiously overturn a presidential election they lost. All in deference to one man. But you say Democrats are moving toward fascism 🤷‍♂️

@Rumpus Maface If I hear one more person say "both sides suck" as if both sides are rooting against democracy. Both sides do not want every citizen to vote. Both sides do not think the other should even have the right to win. Only one party is expected by most people to act with bipartisanship to "maintain order," but the other party just get a pass on its responsibilities.

@interestedparty00 No I won't admit that. Because you can't win a single case in court, which is where you should take your complaints of fraud if valid.

@interestedparty00 The GOP’s strategy for elections these days: Claim in advance the contest is rigged, delegitimize common voting methods (e.g., voting by mail), concoct outlandish conspiracy theories to assert the election was “stolen” and then use partisan, fake audits to sow doubt in the results and, if possible, change the outcome.

@Rumpus Maface Unfortunately, there are NOT more than two choices. Our system only supports two parties. Third-party candidates have no real infrastructure, sources of funding, or laws supporting them in order to win. That's why Bernie Sanders had to run as a Democrat. People who lean left but voted "third party" are the same people who allowed Donald Trump to win in 2016.

@interestedparty00 When Republicans control the federal courts (thanks to Trump's 200+ appointments) and they still can't win a single court case, maybe you should start to question your conspiracy theories 🤷🏾‍♂️ Btw, how did that Republican-run Arizona audit go. I heard Biden actually gained more votes 😂

@interestedparty00 Cheating you can't even prove exists. But sure, blame it on the judges. 60+ judges (10 appointed by Trump himself). ALL of them are corrupt or "afraid of making trouble". Whatever fits the lie you want to hear.
1
@interestedparty00 Yeah, sure. Trump and his henchmen only care about the sanctity of the vote. Just like Trump cares about "protecting the office of the presidency." "Hey guys, give me a break. I only need 11,000 votes." "There's nothing wrong with saying you've recalculated." CORRUPT

@interestedparty00 "Hey guys, give me a break. I only need 11,000 votes." "There's nothing wrong with saying you've recalculated." But sure, you accuse Democrats of cheating. PROVE IT IN COURT.
1
@interestedparty00 Prove it in court. That's what the Constitution provides for your complaints. Until then, how about we focus on the actual evidence we have of Trump trying to steal the election.
1
@interestedparty00 In fact I do deny that cheating occurred. And as evidence, I can quote numerous Trump Administration officals, the various state audits, and dozens of state and federal courts. On the other hand, you are hearing only what you want to hear. Information you don't want to hear goes in one ear and right out the other. You have no legal basis or admissible evidence to lean on. Every single attempt to prove cheating has been an utter failure.

@MarginalCoyote Another Trump supporter who doesn't care about the law, but only cares about getting his way. That's why so many of his minions and henchmen are in jail right now.

@MarginalCoyote Oh wow, a whole paragraph. Looks like I struck a nerve
