I mean, there are a lot of things the federal government has done at points in the past (1940s, for example) to control prices. Would you like those re-enacted?

Biden caused the inflation. Biden could have stopped the inflation. But he chose not to stop the vast amounts of money to keep on being spent. Stimulus 2, Green new deal etc. 2. Inflation is not a cash grab by anyone but the government. Inflation is the economic response to too much money in the supply which makes everything more expensive. Everything. It makes producing something more expensive, it makes packaging something more expensive, it makes transporting something more expensive. Federal price controls without accounting for inflation is certain to put businesses out of business. 3. See item 2 above. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the data clearly shows that labor, capital and other costs don’t account for their increased prices.

Offthemat Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Not a suggestion, but fact: the economy was recovering perfectly during the end of 2020 and started tanking shortly after Biden started Bidenomics. It began with his attack on the petroleum industry and spiraled from there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever you hear someone use the word "perfect" to describe their political leanings... you know they are lying. Nearly nothing is perfect in this world. And of those very few things that are, politics and politicians will never be among them. --GWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Heck, you can even beat up a cop in NYC and get out without bail. And then escape to CA. https://nypost.com/2024/02/01/metro/police-believe-4-of-the-migrants-arrested-in-nyc-cop-beatdown-fled-to-california/ Four of the migrants cut loose without bail after allegedly ganging up on two NYPD cops near Times Square may be on the run, The Post has learned. Cops believe the group could have hopped on a bus bound for California on Wednesday after giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of the city, according to law enforcement sources. Let's see if they honor their court dates and prove this wrong. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 To be clear, I spent a good amount of time in Venezuela in the 80's and love the country. But it has turned into a very bad place and I feel bad for those that live there under horrendous conditions. But I do not feel bad for these thugs in NYC. Deport them now. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush just voted against a ban on Hamas being allowed to enter the U.S. Just to address this since the rule no longer applies, they voted no because any member of Hamas is already banned from entering the US by law - obviously. It was a BS messaging bill that accomplished nothing. Might as well have passed a bill making murder illegal while they were at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) voting present and six members not voting. Your answer and that vote does not square with each other. Let's get one thing straight. Illegal aliens are by law illegal and it is illegal for them to come here. That doesn't seem to be stopping anyone coming across the border. Shows the lie that those two are plying. Apparently their concern for redundant laws was not persuasive to the 422 others who voted for it. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a matter of being “duped”, but more not going to be on the record voting no. Politics…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
