That's going to stop inflation on everything? Or you're just worried about one thing?
Inflation numbers. Lets Go Brandon

Why would he do any of that?
America is quickly becoming one of those shithole countries that @grandhavendiddy gets the vapors over.
They think they are executing their plan perfectly.
Firstly, those are two things.
Energy affects the cost of everything that is produced and/or distributed. So pretty much everything,
The amount of available cash in the economy affects how many dollars are chasing a finite amount of goods. When there are disproportionately more dollars chasing a finite amount of goods the amount of dollars it takes to buy those goods goes up.
And I didn’t say anything about “stopping” it, but it would be a good way to not intentionally make it worse.
None of this came up in your research?
OMG he literally has no idea what inflation is LMAO!
Ghost - you keep missing the point, again and again and again.
The point is that
Energy costs impact nearly every cost point in the supply chain. It's why, right, wrong or otherwise, we fought all of the wars in the 1990s and before. Anyone who saw Jimmy Carter's administration understands that perfectly well. (which in fairness, you may not have depending on your age)
Even Chuck Todd and NBC news excoriated the Biden administration over it's handling of inflation.
Chuck Todd.
The point is that
Kalim - yes, energy independence means that we can produce to the right levels to keep supply and demand in balance and we do not have to worry about: a) Saudi production and b) overseas transport.

Kalim - respectfully, Ghost is right here. What 76 lays out are two of the most critical drivers of inflation: over-stimulation of demand and rising cost of supply.
Now, what is one of travesties of all of the stimulus was that people are not saving it. In equity circles, there is a lot of discussion over wealth and passive income. Getting an $8K check was a great way to improve your wealth. Save the money, keep working and let the money double every 10 years in the stock market.
Instead, it seems that people are spending money on durable goods. Do they really need them? It is one thing for school supplies, clothes, food, etc.
If supplies are an issue and inflation is high, then save. Save.
No issue on how the stock market has done since Biden started in office, nor the four years before.
No issue at all.
Let's be generous here and say that the annual average is 60,000 Flu Deaths a year.
Divided by 365, that is 164.4 deaths a day.
The current Covid-19 seven day average is 1,100.
So, that is a 6.7x higher death rate with Covid-19. They are not the same, but the death was coming down before the current numbers.
Now, there is a fair question on when do we treat it like the flu. We are never going to get to Covid 0. 500 deaths a day? 100k/year?
Or just let each state figure out what they want to do. My preference is the latter. If Alabama wants a higher case and mortality rate than Massachussets or some other blue state, let them decide.
Dems were NEVER going to build a wall or allow one without a fight. You can watch a plethora of videos where they talk tough but never did anything to stop illegal crossings. They promised Reagan they would build the wall if he gave the 2M illegals (at the time) amnesty. He kept his end of the deal and yet still today we are arguing over building a wall. Trump found a workaround and maybe with 4 more years he could have gotten it done.
So that a large enough minority of pubs are cowards is Trumps fault? Rs could have built the wall but some are cowards regardless of whatever Trump said and others are soft on illegals and favor amnesty. The Rs that ran for the hills because Trump said means things were never going to get it done because of the optics pushed by the national media. Trump saying mean things was just cover for their cowardice. And you are an enabler for the cowards
Oh and I did not vote for Trump in 2016 because I thought he as a boorish cad. I wrote in Ted Cruz the man who should be enjoying a second term right now. . But I did vote for Trump in 2020 because policy is more important than personality. He had shown he could deliver.
Let's assume your figures are correct. We have 1,100 covid deaths a day.
We have exactly double that number of babies murdered every day via abortion. Somehow, some evil way....half the county is ok with that.
The same half of the country that is outraged over half the number dying to the seasonal flu.
The question we need to be asking is if we want to live in such a country.
Of course they were going to push back hard. It's how the Democrats aim to never lose an election again. California is case and point.
Republicans need a spine. Many of them do not have it. I fully get it and agree.
The wall should have been built and needs to be built in 2024. Mexico cannot control its borders and thus we have to. I put no characterization on the Mexican government, it is just a simple fact.
My point is that you can be forceful while being (again) disciplined. Assuming you are a Gator fan, this is just like the Marco Wilson event. Don't throw the damn shoe. Don't call Africa a set of "s.... ...countries". Why? So that you get suburban women on your side.
That is a very good point. An excellent point.
We have around 600,000 abortions a year per the CDC. I am personally pro-choice for a broad number of reasons, one of them being that if w force a woman to bring a child to full term then we have, at some level, responsibility for their well being.
I fully agree that we need to pivot to an endemic state and if some states want to have stricter rules, fine. People can enjoy it or leave.
Michigan, surprisingly, given 2020 (or not, given all of the backlash) has no mask nor vaccine mandate.
In the end, I am for education and choice - in all of these areas. If you want to not get vaccinated, I disagree, but your choice. If a family wants to abort a child before the 20th week, their choice. If I want to get a booster in Colorado because it is available there versus Michigan, my choice.
What we do not want, and the point you made earlier, was an Austria where they are putting unvaccinated in quarantine. Australia is similar.
By the way, to tie out some of the threads. Why is there is a spike in Europe? Illegal, unvaccinated immigrants pouring in through Eastern Europe from the Middle East.
We need strong borders and strong vaccination rates.
Perhaps the most important thing we learned over the last 5 years is that we do not have a two-party system in this country.
We have politicians running as dems. 99% of these politicians go to DC to build and amass power for THEIR PARTY.
We have politicans running as republicans. 90% of these politicians go to DC to make a career FOR THEMSELVES.
It's important to understand the difference. Of the republicans, 90% just want to make a career for themselves in politics. They want to play the game and get rich. Another 9% or so are democrats that ran as republicans in red states/areas, since they felt that was the only way they could win office.
About 1% of democrats and 1% of republicans actually go to DC intent on helping the people that elected them.
The 90% of republicans that go to DC to make a career for themselves are only going to do anything, even window dressing, toward pushing forward a republican agenda, during an election year. If they are up for re-election, you will see them at least give lip-service to their campaign promises. Otherwise, it's keep quiet, vote party lines and don't try to throw up roadblocks on the democrats plans. Because that leads to media coverage and 'getting slaughtered' in the press, and republicans never want that.
You mentioned in another thread how republicans bailed on Trump immediately and it was cause the media went after him. IMO, that's not why they bailed on him so quickly.
What was the first thing Trump did upon taking office? He met with senior Senate and House republicans, and told them "So those campaign promises we all used to get into office? Now it's time to pay up for the American people. Let's get to work."
THAT is the moment where the majority of the republicans bailed on Trump. When he told them that they were expected to EXECUTE on the campaign promises they ran on.
To republicans, campaign promises are what you use to get INTO office, not as a promise to actually be kept.
Dems don't do this. They tell you what insane policies they will run on, then they get to DC and EXECUTE on those policies. For better or worse.
This doesn't change until American voters start demanding accountability from the republicans we elect. Personally, I have voted for my last RINO, just to keep what appears to be an even worse dem out of office.
If you want to run on America First policies, and have a proven track record of executing such policies, as DeSantis does, then you will have my support.
But as long as we keep electing bushes and mittens and mccains to office, we will continue to allow the dems to run this country. And all the racism, immorality and misery that it entails.
I have no idea what he said and doesn't care but I'll take your word. You seem honest and non-partisan for the most part. You care about America over party 😉.
I was just asking. So you think inflation is going to continue but Biden can do more to slow it down?
Most economist I've heard and read have said that it's happening and will for awhile. The short-term will be rough, so the focus should be on long-term.
Kalim, I really don't understand your response on this one. Are you saying that unless you curb inflation on everything, you shouldn't worry about one particular thing? You don't think trying to lower gas prices wouldn't help people? Can you tell me why Biden is begging OPEC to increase oil production when we have oil here that Biden shut down the pipeline to? What sense does that make?
Energy? Energy costs affect prices of EVERYTHING. Electricity, food, products......anything you can imagine. Go park your car on an interstate freeway. Literally every 3rd vehicle is an 18 wheeler hauling product somewhere. Also, the Biden administration has decided to keep more people from working, and just printing more currency. Increase the money supply without actually producing more goods, what happens? This is Econ 101.
I was wondering is that a fix all. Not an expert. I was inquiring about information. Hence the question marks. I wasn't saying he's right or wrong.
Did you not see that quack Biden nominated?
(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden's nominee for the comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, said she wants to bankrupt smaller players in the natural gas, oil and coal industries to help reverse climate change
That kind of stuff is what it is. He could nominate fatman76 or orangeclad and you be mad because you have to be anti Biden haha.Did you not see that quack Biden nominated?

I don't know anything about Saule to say it's good or bad.
So you have no idea who this person is (your research failed you again?) or what she's suggesting, you just assume navi is against her cause Hiden nominated her?
No, son. He's against her cause she wants to destroy private banking and take your money and everyone else's and store it in the fed.
So if the Fed gets robbed, everyone's money is gone.
In the country. All of it.
Maybe you need to stop thinking of the world as left vs right, Hiden vs Trump, and learn to think for yourself. No sane person supports this idea on paper.
But as soon as you add 'Hiden's appointee wants to...' to the idea, sheep like you love it.
SMDH
My 2022/2024 candidates are DeSantis and Scott. Not Bush, McCain and "Mittens". (who is that? Romney? if so, that is funny). I have been consistent and clear.
DeSantis backs down to no one. But, he maintains decorum and stays disciplined.
…..why call Kalim “son”? Why the vitriol? If you are trying to attract the middle and get more Allie’s, speaking down to people is not a great approach and is the most cited critique of Hillary.
DeSantis looks to be poised for an eventual presidential run, likely in 2028. He can be FL governor till 2026, so that will be perfect for FL and the Trump presidency. I'll want to see who else runs in 2028, but DeSantis would be a front-runner for my vote.
Scott needs to stay in FL and in the Senate. He can do more good there IMO.
As for @kalimgoodman, he's a troll who has been busted lying here repeatedly. I give trolls no respect or quarter because they deserve none. Same thing with @BSC911 and @gator1776.
Be honest about who you are and engage in civil conversation, and you'll get my respect. Till then, you get the boot, and you like it.
You are the typical hand-wringing nervous pub. An entire post about Hiden's appointee wanting to eliminate private banking and seize everyone's cash, and all you're worried about is my showing 'vitriol' toward an obvious troll.
Way to keep your focus on what really matters, Mr. Kemp.
It’s Tim Scott.
I have been nothing but Civil, to a fault
I will politely exit at this point

I see somebody’s getting desperate for my attention mentioning me by name. It’s OK @GhostOfMatchesMalone iepoo, I’m sorry you feel neglected my love
Hmmmm....I thought you said Rick Scott before. Tim Scott? Absolutely not. Prior to Jan 6th, Trump supported him to a fault, let him speak at the RNC and went out of his way to promote him. Scott ate it up and was happy to accept Trump's accolades.
Then as soon as Jan 6th happened, Scott threw Trump under the bus and completely distanced himself from Trump.
Scott outted himself as just another opportunistic politician. No thanks.
Because the Rat Congress, along with their traitorous Fake News Lame Stream Propaganda MSM hounded Trump at every turn. They lied constantly while never reporting on the good things that Trump accomplished. That can lead to a poor showing in the Propagandist's polls without a doubt.
While those same traitors are busy covering up every bad/stupid/traitorous thing that Beijing Biden and his Border Ho have done, along with constant cover for his crack-head son Hunter in things like his lap top.

Just noticed @gatordad3 Liked this post LOL I think what set him off was I said Trump would win in 2024 and DeSantis would have to wait his turn till 2028 LOL That's easily the best scenario for Florida and America.
Politically, Florida is one of the most important states in the union. Another 5 years of DeSantis as governor, and the state may be the reddest state in America. DeSantis can leave office in 2026, endorse his successor (who will win in a walk after he does), then he goes straight to campaigning for President, and Trump can soon after endorse, which means DeSantis wins in a walk. Assuming we've done something about election integrity (ie stopping the dems from cheating) by then.
Know who else will be leaving office in 2026 and ready to be DeSantis' VP?
LFG!
Three states have Governors of the People, Florida, Texas, and S.Dakota.
Most of the rest just have blowin' in the wind politicians in office....
Most of the rest just have blowin' in the wind politicians in office....
Like any good Rat, only traitors to the Constitution have the facts, the rest of us are without any facts for the likes of you....
You asked a question.
I gave you a demonstrable factual answer.
You don't like the results of that factual answer.
You then choose to characterize demonstrable facts as excuses.
Nothing new to see here, so continue on with killingagoodman BS....
No you gave excuses for his bad poll numbers and not why you guys act differently when Trump was worse. Just say you're a partisan hack and move on.
While you base you partisan hack accusation on your own baseless FoS Rat provided 'talking points.'
But I have demonstrable proof about why the Trump/Biden polls differ in their outcomes.
Proving that you Rat partisan hacks will push your traitorous BS, until the Sovereign Citizens have finally had enough of it and put an end to it... The sooner the better imo.
No you have excuses. Same polls, worse results for Trump.
It's just funny how some of you want to deep analyze the polls when it comes to Trump but with Biden they are taken for face value 🙄.
Who exactly is it that owns the Lame Stream MSM Propaganda corp?
Do the Rat propagandists affect the polls for the average mostly ignorant person on the street?
Are you a complete fool, or just another Rat traitor? (rhetorical)

I understand. But just regarding fuel, does it make sense to you that on Biden's first day in office, he shuts down our own pipeline in the war agajnst fossel fuel and then 10 months later he's begging OPEC to increase production. Does OPEC not deal in fossil fuel or are they not located on planet earth? Does this make any sense to you?
