Even if that were true....they are certainly laughing at us even more now. Not that I care what their media thinks. They aren't much better than their American counterparts.

Somewhat, but what is happening during your man love's administration in such a short time is pretty amazing recently.

I can't believe he gets a pass from American media on that completely botched withdrawal. Most embarrassing foreign policy frick up in 50 years.

Yeah. I feel so good that someone currently with dementia who graduated at the bottom of their law school class in their prime mental state is in charge of things.

Just like the goverment handouts during covid were a low key way to raise the defacto minimum wage to 15k, printing all this money feels like an almost deliberate way to take money from people who have it (eroding wealth) and giving it to people who don't (inflation makes mortgages/student loans effectively smaller).

Yep we are screwed. I wasn’t alive during 1982 but how were they able to deflate the inflation then? Seems like the cat is out of the bag and we won’t be seeing any deflation of current prices


Read The Seven Fat Years by Robert Bartley.

Raised interest rates and tightened down on the money supply.

We've increased the money supply 40% over the last two years. The inflation is a natural result.

No one should believe those numbers. For you and me and every other common person out there, inflation is more than 7%.

Or maybe when you shut a country down for a year things don't magically return to normal for a while.

The government clearly over-corrected and printed WAY too much money.

Your position would lead to recession and/or deflation.

The fun part is that we may still face that recession while combating inflation...the old friend stagflation.

You frickers deserve everything that happens. Unfortunately we get to deal with the consequences of your stupidity as well.

I cannot imagine how far your head has to be up your arse to see year one of the potato and still try to pass the blame anywhere but where it belongs.
