    How do the leftists clowns allow this man to keep his membership card?
    Sooner of later even you RORT liberal loons (oops, there I go with the redundancy) will have to admit the Biden administration is not only a
    total failure but very likely the worst to ever come down the pike.

    Give it your best "yabut Trump" shot, CC&P.

    Where I live the situation just keeps improving. We were out on the
    coast about a week ago molesting crabs. We caught four keepers, which
    isn't too bad for this time of year. Next up we have a combined crab and
    razor clam molesting trip planned, with an overnight stay at Fort Stevens.

    "One way Biden could cut inflation"

    Rick Newman·Senior Columnist
    Tue, April 12, 2022, 6:18 AM

    President Trump left President Biden an interesting card to play: the
    tariffs Trump imposed on imports from China and several other places.

    Biden has left most of those tariffs in place. But with inflation now
    sizzling at a four-decade high of 8.5%—and threatening to torpedo
    Biden’s presidency—those tariffs could serve as a release valve taking a bit of the sting out of rising prices.

    The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that
    reducing a variety of import tariffs could lower inflation by 1 to 2
    percentage points. That might sound small, but at a midpoint it would
    save the average household about $800 per year. It might also give Biden something he desperately needs: Tangible evidence he’s doing something
    about inflation, besides just talking about it.

    Biden so far has blamed the rising price of gas and many other things on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine. But
    only about one-third to one-fourth of the gas price hikes during the
    last 12 months came after the Russian invasion began on Feb. 24. Other Democrats blame greedy oil companies for jacking up oil and gas prices
    more than necessary. Economists, however, say inflation is a complex
    phenomenon with many causes, including supply chains still kinked from
    the COVID pandemic and an abrupt shift in consumer spending patterns."

    "But the Peterson research argues that tariff policy could give Biden
    something to work with. The United States imports about $2.8 trillion
    worth of goods per year. About half of that merchandise arrives with no tariffs, while the average tariff on Chinese imports rose to about 19%
    under Trump. The average tariff on all imports is about 6%.

    The Peterson economists recommend lowering the average tariff by 2
    percentage points, to about 4%. That, in turn, would eventually cut the inflation rate by 1.3 points. There are a variety of ways to do that.
    Biden could roll back all the Trump tariffs on Chinese imports, which
    would be a big move that could go most or all of the way toward that
    2-point reduction. Or Biden could partially reduce the Trump China
    tariffs, while also lowering other tariffs or relaxing quotas that have
    the effect of pushing up prices. Biden could also relax “buy America” provisions that apply to federal contracting, allowing the government,
    for instance, to buy foreign products if they’re significantly cheaper
    than domestically made versions."

    "Oregon’s Central Oregon Metolius River is unique in its origin and
    setting.

    It rises as a series of clear cold springs from the base of the
    6,436-foot tall volcanic cinder cone called Black Butte.  Emerging at
    an elevation of exactly 3,000 feet from the Metolius Springs with a
    year round temperature of forty-eight degrees, the Metolius flows
    north in a valley some five miles wide and fifteen miles long.  It is
    bounded to the east by the 4,660-foot high tree covered basalt
    formation of Green Ridge.  To the west the slopes of Three Fingered
    Jack and Mt. Jefferson form the western boundary of this treasured
    forested pristine river valley."

          Watching the Metolius river flow out of the ground is one of
    the most peaceful sights you can imagine.

          You asked for it. This is my honest response. I really don't
    give a shit if you think it's "off topic", so please spare me your
    habitual whining. It's right square *on topic* for me.

    So inflation hasn't hit the liberal PNW? You must be kidding.


          It hasn't affected my plans. If it has changed your plans please tell us all about your sad case.

    So, because it hasn't affected your plans you couldn't care less about
    your fellow lunatic liberals? It hasn't affected my plans either. Unlike

    this administrations policies are negatively impacting every one of us.

    By the way, I will be passing through Oregon on my way to Seattle this
    summer. I will throw out some Lone Star beer cans along the route. I'm
    hopeful a few will land in your yard. That way, by the time I go
    through, inflation will be even worse and you can sell the aluminum cans
    for some pocket money.

    You just *LOVE* to whinge. So now you're whinging about people you
    don't even know and generally wouldn't give a shit about.

    I'm not very special. And here I am. Other than the getting older
    part my life just keeps getting better. Every where I look most folks
    are doing damn fine. Every day I see far more luxury goods being used
    than ever before. The coast is just an amazing display of good times for
    almost every economic class. Particularly on the coast and in the
    cities, but all over the West, "homeless" people living in RVs has
    become a big issue. IOW we're a country with amazingly rich poor people. There's so much food around that you have to be seriously messed up to
    go hungry.

    Am I going to pretend to be all that concerned about the small percentage of people who aren't doing all that well? No. I am a
    Republican. I don't have to. I'm hoping that eventually we'll arrive at
    the logical solutions. I don't expect that to happen until it's obvious
    that we have no other choice. So, I end up being an unwilling spectator.
    In the mean time, "LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, BABY." "There is no time
    like the present." Or as Baba Ram Das said, "Be here now." If your
    here/now includes pretending to give a shit about people who aren't
    doing all that well--go for it. Everywhere I go people seem to be having
    a good time. It's not like inflation is some huge surprise out of
    nowhere. Where I live it happens all the time.

    Here beer cans that were purchased in Oregon are worth 10 cents
    each. You see people returning amazing piles of cans to the redemption
    centers. It's common to see people on the bus with a stack of cans
    bigger than them. Eventually a crew will come along and collect your
    nearly worthless cans along with the rest of the litter. We're used to
    rich folks with bad manners.

    Hey. There is no inflation. It's just "Putin's Price Hike".

    Sadly, there appears to be about a third of the people who are quite
    willing to believe that BS.

    That 1/3, you mention are probably the folks who believe Trump really won the election, that he wasn't Putin's suckass, and the latest QAnon "fwd" rumor, is something to get themselves in a complete dither over... You know, those 21st Century Ghost

    Old Dumb Lefty is more like it.. Let's prove it. Put down your Stiiizy
    Stick and put on your Thinking Cap - or more likely for you - your Pussy
    Hat and think real hard. Did Putin cause our 8 point plus inflation and
    high energy prices - or is it being caused by Bumbling Brandon and his
    Woke posse?

    If "Bumbling Brandon" and his woke posse are causing the inflation, why is it happening around the rest of the world, and not just in the US? Please pull up your wise man depends, and explain that, if you can?

    So, because it hasn't affected your plans you couldn't care less
    about your fellow lunatic liberals? It hasn't affected my plans
    either. Unlike most, I am able to cope. However that has no bearing
    on the fact that this administrations policies are negatively

    By the way, I will be passing through Oregon on my way to Seattle
    this summer. I will throw out some Lone Star beer cans along the
    route. I'm hopeful a few will land in your yard. That way, by the
    time I go through, inflation will be even worse and you can sell the
    aluminum cans for some pocket money.


          You just *LOVE* to whinge. So now you're whinging about people
    you don't even know and generally wouldn't give a shit about.

         I'm not very special. And here I am. Other than the getting older >> part my life just keeps getting better. Every where I look most folks
    are doing damn fine. Every day I see far more luxury goods being used
    than ever before.

    Not a surprise. A lot of rich liberals in the PNW.

    The coast is just an amazing display of good times for
    almost every economic class. Particularly on the coast and in the
    cities, but all over the West, "homeless" people living in RVs has
    become a big issue. IOW we're a country with amazingly rich poor
    people. There's so much food around that you have to be seriously
    messed up to go hungry.

           Am I going to pretend to be all that concerned about the small >> percentage of people who aren't doing all that well? No. I am a
    Republican.

    You're about as republican as AOC.


    I don't have to. I'm hoping that eventually we'll arrive at
    the logical solutions. I don't expect that to happen until it's
    obvious that we have no other choice. So, I end up being an unwilling
    spectator. In the mean time, "LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, BABY." "There
    is no time like the present." Or as Baba Ram Das said, "Be here now."
    If your here/now includes pretending to give a shit about people who
    aren't doing all that well--go for it. Everywhere I go people seem to
    be having a good time. It's not like inflation is some huge surprise
    out of nowhere. Where I live it happens all the time.

           Here beer cans that were purchased in Oregon are worth 10 cents >> each. You see people returning amazing piles of cans to the redemption
    centers. It's common to see people on the bus with a stack of cans
    bigger than them. Eventually a crew will come along and collect your
    nearly worthless cans along with the rest of the litter. We're used to
    rich folks with bad manners.

    I can understand that. You rich liberals all have bad manners. However,
    you still haven't admitted to the FACT that inflation is out of control.
    If Trump were president, you'd be all over this like stupid on a liberal.

    TB



    WOOEEE, That's one damn fine imaginary universe you have going on
    there. Lemmeesee: First you get yourself all twisted up because you
    think Democrats should be ready to dump Biden because he isn't doing
    enough to help poor people--not that you really give a shit about poor
    people. It's just something to whinge about because you personally have
    nothing to complain about. And then you want to argue with some
    imaginary strawman version of me in an alternate universe where the
    orange outrage is still president. I'm glad you know what's going on in
    that imaginary universe, because I have no idea. It's a real shame that
    you can't get your strawman version of me to post every once in a while.
    That poor slob has been kickin' around for decades without making a
    single post.

    I'm at least as Republican as the orange outrage. Because I served
    in Vietnam under both a Democratic and a Republican administration I'm
    not particularly fond of either party. I have a few more days to decide.
    I might become a Democrat again for a little while. It would be my only
    chance to vote for our next Governor, because it's unlikely that the Republicans will run a sane candidate who has a chance of winning.

    And then you want me to admit that inflation is out of control
    when I ain't seenin' it. I filled up my tank today. The price was
    several dollars less than what I paid last week. Get back to me when
    you're living in the here and now on planet Earth.

    Hey. There is no inflation. It's just "Putin's Price Hike".

    Sadly, there appears to be about a third of the people who are quite
    willing to believe that BS.

    That 1/3, you mention are probably the folks who believe Trump really won the election, that he wasn't Putin's suckass, and the latest QAnon "fwd" rumor, is something to get themselves in a complete dither over... You know, those 21st Century Ghost
    Dancers, or more accurately, the Neo-Facists, hoping their piety, and patriotism, will bring back "the good old days"...............

    Ol' Whitey

    Old Dumb Lefty is more like it.. Let's prove it. Put down your Stiiizy
    Stick and put on your Thinking Cap - or more likely for you - your Pussy
    Hat and think real hard. Did Putin cause our 8 point plus inflation and
    high energy prices - or is it being caused by Bumbling Brandon and his
    Woke posse?

    If "Bumbling Brandon" and his woke posse are causing the inflation, why is it happening around the rest of the world, and not just in the US? Please pull up your wise man depends, and explain that, if you can?

    The Spirit of Walter Cronkite

    You failed to even attempt to answer my question. That is not surprising
    since over and over you have proven yourself to be one of our shallow
    thinkers who expects the MSM to tell them what to believe without
    question - and does just that.

    Explain it? Sure, no problem. Wait --- there will be a problem. I can
    easily explain it to you, however, I can't understand it for you and
    there is the rub. But what the hell - I may go to Hell for fucking with halfwits - however, as an Agnostic, I've always been willing to risk
    it.

    When Trump took office in 2017 inflation was 2.5%. When he left office inflation was 1.2%.

    Brandon took that 1.2% up to 7% in his first year and the poor fucker
    didn't have Putin to blame. February's inflation was 7.9% before Putin
    invaded Ukraine. In 2021 Brandon increased inflation by 391% - without
    Putin's help.

    Assuming Putin invading Ukraine increased our inflation - it went from
    7.9% to 8.5 % in March - he increased our inflation rate by 0.6% from
    7.9% to 8.5%.

    For the sake of argument, I'm willing to blame Putin for a 0.6% rise in
    our inflation, totally disregarding the trend Brandon had going. However
    I blame Brandon - and so does the thinking people - for inflation rising
    from 1.2% when to took office to 7.5% at the end of his first year. And
    then to 7.9% this year before Putin invaded Ukraine.

    Now back to the question I asked. I answered your question I gave you my
    side - can you give me your side? CNN and/or MSNBC told me will be an acceptable answer. I never expect much from you and I am never
    disappointed.

    Did Putin cause our 8 point plus inflation and high energy prices - or
    is it being caused by Bumbling Brandon and his Woke posse???

    You failed to even attempt to answer my question. That is not surprising since over and over you have proven yourself to be one of our shallow thinkers who expects the MSM to tell them what to believe without
    question - and does just that.

    Explain it? Sure, no problem. Wait --- there will be a problem. I can
    easily explain it to you, however, I can't understand it for you and
    there is the rub. But what the hell - I may go to Hell for fucking with halfwits - however, as an Agnostic, I've always been willing to risk
    it.

    When Trump took office in 2017 inflation was 2.5%. When he left office inflation was 1.2%.

    Brandon took that 1.2% up to 7% in his first year and the poor fucker
    didn't have Putin to blame. February's inflation was 7.9% before Putin invaded Ukraine. In 2021 Brandon increased inflation by 391% - without Putin's help.

    Assuming Putin invading Ukraine increased our inflation - it went from
    7.9% to 8.5 % in March - he increased our inflation rate by 0.6% from
    7.9% to 8.5%.

    For the sake of argument, I'm willing to blame Putin for a 0.6% rise in
    our inflation, totally disregarding the trend Brandon had going. However
    I blame Brandon - and so does the thinking people - for inflation rising from 1.2% when to took office to 7.5% at the end of his first year. And
    then to 7.9% this year before Putin invaded Ukraine.

    Now back to the question I asked. I answered your question I gave you my side - can you give me your side? CNN and/or MSNBC told me will be an acceptable answer. I never expect much from you and I am never
    disappointed.
    Did Putin cause our 8 point plus inflation and high energy prices - or
    is it being caused by Bumbling Brandon and his Woke posse???

    Why should I answer your question when you don't answer mine? Inflation is happening globally, not just in the US... Do you think Biden is causing worldwide inflation? How does that work?

    Even for a liberal you can't possibly be that clueless.

    George you are sadly mistaken - he can be, and he is. He was smart
    enough to learn several guitar chords - enough to play backup rhythm -
    but he could never pick out the melody - much less make it cry or sing.
    Yet, he thinks he is a picker when he is only a mediocre strummer.

    And that is a pretty good analogy of his abilities here on RORT. Even
    though he is giving it his all - don't expect much.

    I certainly think the instability Putin has caused in the world far exceeds anything Brandon has, or even could do! The sanctions the West is dishing out to Russia for a noble cause, has thrown a monkey wrench into world trade, and brought us to the
    ragged edge of WWIII... Supply problems are worldwide. Covid is still in the wings, and corporate earnings are hitting all time highs, but the future looks pretty iffy for most of the world, despite "Help Wanted" signs that seem to be everywhere one
    goes...

    Brandon doesn't set the prices of oil, steel, computer chips, or food, demand does... It looks to me like people just want more of "the good stuff", and they're willing to have a bidding war to get whatever the good stuff is!

    It's still Biden's fault. He facilitated Putin's invasion. So... Biden
    still wins the prize for worst.

    Was that so hard?

    Your answer isn't very clear, however I take it to mean that you don't
    think Putin caused our 7+% rise in inflation that it was/is Covid.

    Ah yup. Here's a little number to help keep things in
    perspective. Americans are currently spending a bit more than $30
    Billion dollars a year on pet food. We're probably spending 3 times that
    on "beauty products" every year. Hey, life is tough when you want to be
    one of the beautiful people. As an American I consider it my
    "constitutional right" to be well fed and have a good time.

    "Ukraine war threatens to push 1.7 billion people across the world into
    hunger and poverty

    The war could throw more than one-fifth of humanity into poverty,
    destitution and hunger on a scale not seen in decades.

    Secretary-General António GuterresUnited Nations

    For the people of Ukraine, the Russian invasion is a waking nightmare
    and a humanitarian disaster on a terrifying scale.

    But the war is also fast becoming a matter of life and death for
    vulnerable people around the world.

    We have all seen the tragedy unfolding inside Ukraine: cities flattened;
    people suffering and dying in their homes and in the streets; the
    fastest displacement crisis in Europe since World War II.

    But beyond Ukraine’s borders, far beyond the media spotlight, the war
    has launched a silent assault on the developing world. This crisis could
    throw up to 1.7 billion people – over one-fifth of humanity – into
    poverty, destitution and hunger on a scale not seen in decades.

    Ukraine and the Russian Federation provide about 30% of the world’s
    wheat and barley, one-fifth of its maize and more than half of its
    sunflower oil. Together, their grain feeds the poorest and most
    vulnerable people, providing more than a third of the wheat imported by
    45 African and least-developed countries.

    At the same time, Russia is the world’s top natural gas exporter and second-largest oil exporter.

    But the war is preventing farmers from tending their crops, while
    closing ports, ending grain exports, disrupting supply chains and
    sending prices skyrocketing.

    Many developing countries are still struggling to recover from the
    effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with historic debt burdens and soaring inflation.

    Since the start of 2022, wheat and maize prices have increased by 30%.

    Brent oil prices have risen more than 60% over the past year, while
    natural gas and fertilizer prices have more than doubled.

    World Food Program faces impossible choices
    The United Nations’ own lifesaving operations are under severe strain.
    The World Food Program has warned that it faces the impossible choice of
    taking from the hungry to feed the starving. It urgently needs $8
    billion to support its operations in Yemen, Chad and Niger.

    Some countries are already sliding from vulnerability to crisis and
    serious social unrest. And we know the roots of many conflicts lie in
    poverty, inequality, underdevelopment and hopelessness.
