If the high inflation was caused by the pandemic and the pent-up demand for goods, why was inflation only at 1.7% when Trump handed the keys to the White House to Biden and he was the one who had to deal with the brunt of the pandemic? Biden got the inflation at 1.7% and it proceeded to rise up up and away to 9.1%!! Trump was able to keep the inflation super low in spite of the pandemic. Inflation only rose super high when Biden and Congress gave away all the free money!
The amount of ignorance in this post about ecomomic supply and demand and its direct affect on inflation is typical for a Trump fan. But if you throw in the general amnesia about when the vaccines were rolled out and when things opened back up and the timeline of when demand started to roll through the economy then you have to just assume that this person is dumber than your typical Trumpist.
CORRECT!
I read your comment AFTER I already responded. I considered not responding to Sally, but I HAVE told Sally that he (Sally is a HE) needs to ask questions here, so while this was an unbelievably stupid question, I decided to answer.
It can't be stated strongly enough though that your assessment of Sally's post is right on point.

sorry. She does not reach the threshold needed to attempt to explain.
Not Trump fan. Just call me conservative and a patriot. Thanks.
Nope. You are a Trump fan. You said recently that you (paraphrased) "love it when Trump owns the libs". You're a fan. Trump is putrid. Trump deserves no positivity at all. He should not be agreed with, laughed at, or felt indifferent towards. He's a criminal and a danger to our Democratic Republic, and the only thing a reasonable thinking person should think about him is that he needs to go to prison.
Under criminal investigation by the sheriff of Bexar county. The sheriff that let 53 illegals die in an abandoned tractor trailer. The sheriff couldn't even name any laws he thought might have been broken.
It takes an impressive level of stupid to think this is good look for you.
You're a moron.
When do we start the criminal investigation into Biden's secret midnight flights into Florida and North Carolina? Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Stories of President Biden’s “secret flights of migrants" have been circulating. But these same flights have been used to transport migrants for decades.
While you're at it, quit supporting and defending a REAL criminal. Trump is a criminal, dude. Get that through your head and then pull your head out of your ass.

Hey, f*** o** homophobic DB. And Mr. Patriotic, do tell how much you've served your country? Oh, perhaps JUST a flag sticker on your insecurity-advertising pickup? And maybe some really cool spec ops-evoking skull t-shirts? (your mom's tired of washing those, by the way)
Or, maybe you are a veteran (doubtful), but somehow still don't know what the words "patriot" or "democracy" mean. Plenty of those around, too, unfortunately.
And I mentioned FO, right ?
Bring it, New York queer.
You won’t fight. You’re a democrat queer.
Tough guy didn’t answer my simple question. What a surprise.
Come on, have you ever put on a uniform to fight or serve ?
What has the Democrat party become? This makes me want to cry. There are leaders in the Democrat party who want to free second-degree murderers. Yes, you read that right. We thought defunding the police was bad. That turns it up a notch (or 1000 notches)- they want to set loose second-degree murderers so they can kill again and again and again.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman has repeatedly called for "justice" for prisoners convicted of second-degree murder in the state.
this is exhausting, 'conservatives.' STOP BREAKING THE LAW. This is simple. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. Just say no, as it were. And the Republicans who are not criminals need to condemn this.
Here, a Republican Party official and fake elector is caught red handed perjuring herself about her role in I dunno some kind of fraudulent theft of voting information.
Parts of former state GOP official Cathy Latham's testimony about the copying of sensitive elections software in Coffee County appear to diverge from surveillance camera footage and other evidence.

Last year saw the greatest spike in homicides nationwide EVER. Here in Texas Beto is running for governor and he is still talking about DEFUNDING the police! Are you kidding me?
1) No, the American Rescue Plan did not cause the high inflation. The high inflation was a result of the pandemic leading to pent-up demand for goods and services and the supply chain issues that followed once the raging part of the pandemic was over.
2) You believe there is a recession ONLY because you are a partisan hack and you go on you FEELINGS. I say there IS a recession because we had two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, and that is the standard I follow (that everyone should follow). The other standard (NBER pronouncement) hasn't been declared yet, and because the NBER looks at many things including the unemployment rate, it might NOT declare a recession. It is a useless standard as they declare after it is over if we were in one. The thing about the recession though is that it was caused by the HUGE growth we had in 2021 due to coming out of the raging part of the pandemic. When the results of the next quarter are released, we will no longer be in a recession.
3) Erosion of the middle class? 1960 called...1970 called...1980 called...1990 called...2000 called...2010 called...2015 called...they all want their mantra back. Neither party gives a crap about the middle class (though Democrats do give HALF a crap about the middle class). The middle class is always brought up by politicians because it's the biggest economic voting block. There is nothing special about the middle class other than its size.

Looks like we might be getting back to the good old days of high inflation and high unemployment. Time to start dusting off the old misery index from the Carter days. Joe Biden = Jimmy Carter 2.0
Top economist Mohamed El-Erian flagged the risk of stagflation — a painful combination of slower growth, stubbornly high inflation, and rising unemployment.
"The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed in the early days of the Biden administration will go down in history as an extraordinary policy mistake."

“the least responsible macroeconomic policy we’ve had in the last 40 years”

Now do the rest of the rich world suffering the same high inflation.

The inflation was about 14.6% when Jimmy Carter was president. We might be headed towards that. President faced the same pandemic problems that Biden has faced and inflation while he was guiding our country was about 1.7%. Let me say that again - 1.7%. Your groceries when Trump was president were much, much cheaper.

Thanks for the link! I went into the story expecting a crazy call to open the jail cells for murderers, and I came out of it convinced that Fetterman made a good point about allowing second-degree murderers the possibility of parole. The study cited in the article makes a lot of sense.

Here is your Democrat leader ... Fetterman voted to free man who hacked to death an innocent neighbor with garden shears. He is your man!
Charles "Zeke" Goldblum was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a man with garden shears in a parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh and later trying to hire a hitman to kill his accomplice. As lieutenant governor of Pen...

You mean that you expected Sally to NOT be lying, ignorant, stupid or purposefully misleading?!?
