Bill, what doesn't cost more under the Biden Admin?

Most everything up at least 25%

Biden administration doesn't have anything to do with that. yes, inflation is high but we (USA) are still much better off than most of the world in terms of inflation, economic growth, stock market, employment rate, infrastructure, etc. also supply and demand, not to mention corporate greed and covid, have driven prices through the roof. we were coming out of an economic recession in which inflation had dropped to 0% seven months earlier because the world was shut down. As you can see in the attached charts the inflation that was created by the global pandemic (which shut down global supply chains) and the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates to almost 0% and holding them there as inflation took off is what led to the sky high inflation.

As you can see in the first chart, once the Federal Reserve started to raise interest rates, the rate of inflation started to come down. What you will also not is that since the Fed Res stopped raising interest rate inflation has basically moved sideways. None of this has anything to do with the current President and the charts actually show that inflation has come down substantially. The last chart is to illustrate that this inflation has been a global phenomenon brought on by the pandemic, not something created by the Biden Administration. As the last image shows, the U.S. inflation rate is actually below the inflation rate in many other areas around the world. So if anything, the Biden Administration has been doing a good job to get it down to where it currently is.

But as anyone can see from these charts, the rise in inflation started before Biden took office in 2021, peaked on the Fed finally acknowledged that the inflation wasn’t “transient”, and has been coming down since they started doing their job and raised interest rates to slow the economy. The irony, which seems to be lost on most people, is that the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to slow the economy, but the economy has continued to grow despite two years of “experts” calling for a recession.

All anyone has to do is look at the data. It’s free.

Anyone who believes that is a complete moron. Inflation skyrocketed once Biden took office. What, is that just one big coincidence?

U.S. inflation rate for 2022 was 8.00%, a 3.3% increase from 2021.
U.S. inflation rate for 2021 was 4.70%, a 3.46% increase from 2020.
U.S. inflation rate for 2020 was 1.23%, a 0.58% decline from 2019.
U.S. inflation rate for 2019 was 1.81%, a 0.63% decline from 2018.

you are the dumb ass and moron who obviously doesn't understand how inflation works. and the law of supply and demand, not to mention the Federal reserve raising and lowering interest rates. there are lots of factors which go into the equation and I just gave you a crash course on how and why it works/doesn't work. but clearly, reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

Don't I know it.
I was blessed to be born with my dad's engineering genetics.
My entire professional career has been data related.

My take?

When it's all said and done, and there's nothing left to say or do, the fact of the matter is the situation is not as bad as the right says it is, nor is it as great it is the left says, that in reality things are OK.

I like their new advertising campaign.

Here in Fairfield County in Fairfield there's a Home Depot Mall, besides The Home Depot, there's a CVS, Whole Foods, PetSmart, Chipotles, and Five Guys.

That mall is a little slice of heaven I tell you what.

knock knock

Zombie debt refers to old or expired debts that can be purchased for collection at a massive discount.
The most common types of zombie debt include discharged or settled debts, time-barred debt, debt that has fallen off your credit reports and debt that doesn’t belong to you.
To best protect yourself, research the debt and request a debt validation letter.
Check your state’s laws to research your rights against zombie debt, including statute of limitations laws, so you do not accidentally reactivate expired debt.
