• Lyin' Biden blames inflation on 1) COVID and 2) Putin

    ...but makes NO MENTION of runaway government spending (which is, in fact, the primary cause)!!!

    Biden also blasted Rick Scott after Scott called him "senile", but can't tell the difference between FL and WI (a sign of senility!).

    The FY20 & FY21 Federal budgets were under Trump.

    ...and Biden's FY22 budget is $0.8T less than Trump's FY21 budget.

    So tell us again about when this "runaway spending" occurred?

    Similarly, if your complaint is actually that you don't believe that the
    rate of correction is fast enough, then tell us what rate you say it
    should be, and how you've determined that it won't shrink the GDP
    by enough to crash the economy into a recession. For example,
    a -$0.8T spending reduction is -3.5% of GDP.

    Well, just released consumer inflation is 8.3%, and the producer price index is up 11%, Fool.

    That isn't "runaway government spending"...

    ...which is what you've claimed but failed to support.

    By claiming that spending is "runaway", which is false: the spend rate
    is declining, not increasing.

    The amount less is $0.8T: that's a 12% cut in spending rate in but a single year.

    Wrong. The growth of government debt is stratospheric. The debt to GDP ratio is close to its all-time high and total debt has DOUBLED in the last 10 years:

    That was under Trump.

    Biden’s first budget (FY22) cuts Fed spending by 12%.
    Is that not the direction you want?

    And Trump's administration played a huge part in that.
