Can anyone honestly tell me how Covid19 and Putin has caused inflation in the US?

Covid19 didn’t shutdown the US economy….the federal and state governments did that. Putin didn’t cause global energy prices to soar. Whispering Joe’s administration facilitated the rapid escalation of global energy prices by destroying Trump’s energy independent policies.

There’s no one who can make a sensible case for blaming Covid19 or Vladimir Putin for the tsunami of inflation the American people are experiencing right now. This surging inflation BS is 100% on the backs of weak minded and politically motivated imbeciles (Dims/Groomer party) who either sought to use Covid19 and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as political fodder to advance their ideological agenda or it’s the Biden administration’s absolute incompetence, either way the results are the same…..a crushing of working class Americans.

I think you can tie portions of inflation from COVID back to the supply chain issues coming out of China.

But mainly because of all the stimulus packages. fricking assholes.

Wait until you find out the federal government created Covid-19 to create a world crisis to destroy the Trump economy for the sole purpose of covering up their own crimes against the tax paying citizens of the United States of America.

Once you fully understand the first chapter, the rest of the book makes perfect sense.

Putin could die tomorrow or die soon, and new Russian leadership may likely end the war.

Yet this dogshit administration will still blame the inflation on Putin/Covid/Trump the same as before. It’s clearly caused by any and everyone but themselves.

Easier to explain it if you just watch cable news clips of Joe Biden

I don't think there can be any question that the massive government spending under Covid lockdowns set the table, but the economy was coming back at the end of 2020 and, left unmolested, likely would be in far better shape. There would still be inflation, but I don't think it would be this high, and we wouldn't have the current stagflation

It's straight from the Democrat playbook ---- accuse others of exactly what you are doing. Worked for a very long time but people aren't fooled anymore. Well, a lot aren't fooled anymore.

66% of inflation is from the Biden administration slowing down oil production and the printing of money that Trump started and Biden greatly increased.

32% of inflation is Covid related as it caused shortages of labor, goods and services which always drives prices up.

1% May be from Putin in specific things such as fertilizer, grain, or gas which goes to Europe but when prices rise in Europe they will rise a little here.

Getting oil production cranking will lower inflation but Biden is going the other way and decreasing production.

One of the easiest ways is to look up at the diesel prices each day when you pass the station. This morning here it was $5.20 per gallon. Like it not, the price of fuel touches most everything we buy, eat, and produce. News agencies are saying that we are likely to see diesel rationing by the end of the summer. When that happens prices are going to soar. On the first day in office he crippled the oil and gas industries with his power play. He is not saving the planet, he and his dumbassery cabinet are killing it.

Uh, look at a money supply chart from COVID relief. I love the orange man and all, but knew we were in for a reckoning when I saw that.

The Russia sanctions are stupid and hurting the west. Squeezing a large food and energy producer will do that.

We spent too much on shutting down the economy and sending out stimulus money to everyone, which caused our dollars to become less valuable. Putin might have had a slight influence on oil prices. Time to sell off some assets to retire some debt.
