very naïve to blame every bad thing on one party

They're not saying its your feelings, they're saying just because the economy is bad for you doesn't mean its a bad economy

@gregorysagegreene voting didn't cause covid, supply chain bottlenecks or price gouging

many businesses are also forming

@funzario144 The US was a prosperous country 4 years ago? You should probably stick to talking about germany, because you obviously have no clue what was happening abroad

like 10 of the last recessions we've had have come under republicans

@BonoboMonkey still less inflationary than a 20% tariff on all goods which is what trump is proposing
3
Some socialism would be quite nice, these corporations are getting too powerful
3
and now he wants a 20% tariff on all goods. Dude's economically illiterate
3
blue all the way
3
it has always been the rate of increase in prices
3
@HarrisonCountyStudio inflation isn't the price level, its the rate of price increase. Grocery price inflaiton is way down. You're not losing 2-3% of your purchasing power because wages tend to grow faster than 2-3% every year

@cautiousoptimist1926 no it wasn't. Lowering them is a good thing, and its clearly not all that inflationary since we had a decade of interest rates at 0 with no resulting inflation
2
@BillySBC That was clearly a supply issue due to the bubble bursting. Nothing to do with rates, if anything low rates keep mortgages down which help with affordability. We struggled to get inflation up to 2% throughout the 2010's despite zirp and massive qe

@esteban1487 what counts as socialist depends on your answer though
2
@esteban1487 socialism is an umbrella term, and their are many types
2
then why has inflation fallen so much since 2022? Why do we currently have deflation in many categories?
2
thankfully republicans haven't scrapped social security yet

@MikeS-7 That isn't true. We've borrowed tonnes since 2022 yet inflation has only fallen since then
1
@BonoboMonkey That's fine, but maybe then you shouldn't be whining about inflation?
1
@MikeS-7 Then how come the 0 interest rate policies of the 2010's didn't cause inflation despite all the government borrowing back then? Or all the borrowing during ww2 despite the low interest rate environment? What about Japan, they've been struggling with deflation despite very low interest rates and the highest debt to gdp ratio in the world

@BonoboMonkey You're punishing everyday Americans. Everyone knows that's who ultimately pays the price. It would be far more inflationary than helping with down payments for first time buyers, and if you're ok paying an extra 5k a year due to tariffs (before other countries retaliate) you don't get to complain about inflation for any reason
1
he doesn't kno what he;s talking about?
1
yeah but most of that is in rent. We're below 2% inflation on everything else
1
@xzr56 right
1
@esteban1487 what % of a nations wealth would have to be owned collectively though the government for a country to be considered socialist?
1
@bobbya51 I'd love to, can't right now though
1
@miket7184 Crime has only been falling since it peaked under trump. You get homelessness when you manipulate the market to keep supply low, which trump supports. Trump blocked the strictest border bill in decades, and would only add to inflation with his 20% tariff on all goods. Funny how that works
1
clearly not true since they've been doing that since 2022 and inflation has only come down since then. We currently have deflation in pretty much everything that isn't essential
1
@jayson657 it's great for me for a start. And its great for a lot more according to the macro data. When assessing the health of the overall economy, you've gotta look beyond your bubble
1
@HarrisonCountyStudio nonsense
1
@HarrisonCountyStudio nope, it's always been the rate of increase not the money supply

@KennyCronin-wq8xq give us a line from the book
