A critical look at Harris

[NightTwister]

So you're thinking something is "global" only if absolutely every single country is involved?

It's not global if there's a definable reason for the difference. Look for why it was different for those countries and you'll see what they did right and the others did wrong.

Once again, I'm not doing your research for you. You are making statements of fact that are not because you're passing on talking points instead of actually researching it on your own.

Oh yes. A common retort with this one. Sneaky.
Glad to see you have picked up on it.

What then do you say about Florida being even worse?

I guess you'll start calling it "Commie Florida".

It's a great place to be "from."

Hurricanes can't be controlled. Fires can be by correct management. Same for out-of-control theft and violence. This was done for years before the "commies" took over, not that you would know because you don't research the causes, you just post talking points.

Well then you should go there and tell them how to do it. That would be the Christian thing to do, since you'd be saving lives.

Crimes rates have plummeted since the Trump term.

Apparently you're not aware that under communism, there are no private insurance companies (or private companies at all).

Funny how so many who throw around the term "communism" don't have the slightest clue what it actually is.

There you go again. Crime hasn't plummeted, arrests and prosecutions have. Do some research.

So you're thinking something is "global" only if absolutely every single country is involved? I guess then there is no such thing as a "global economy" and the term "globalist" is effectively meaningless.

If that's the level of pedantry you want to engage in, then okay. Let's say the post-pandemic inflation occurred in pretty much all the economically developed countries, with the US faring better than at least 18 of them.

It is true that economists who have noted a period of exceptionalism for the USA as compared to other nations the past couple years, having said this they also expect this to come an end soon.

The point is, it shows that post-pandemic inflation was not caused by US policies, but instead by a rise in demand coupled with significant lack of supply due to the pandemic, plus the rise in global oil prices after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Some people contend that with Social Security, Medicare, and a Consumer Protection Agency are indistinguishable from Stalin’s regime.

There are short and long term causes in economics, what you have stated can be a short term driver, however, monetary policy is the driver for inflation over the long term.

I do not think this is disputable, although economic theory is really theory, I think this one has been witnessed across many economies throughout history going back to the Roman Empire.

As usual, you post misinformation and disinformation. Yet, you fascists pretend you want to minimize both of those.

What was the source of the demand? It was Government policies, (not just the U.S.) that put trillions of dollars of cash into an economy (driving up demand) in a market with the lack of supply due to supply chain problems. It had nothing to do with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Oil prices in the U.S. were and are high because the Harris-Biden administration reduced the amount of domestic supply, causing it to have to buy from other countries. We know the domestic supply was down because he raided the strategic oil reserve.

You're right, what's happening in California is really fascism, not communism. That's where the country is also headed.

But every one of them will take the money when it's their turn.

Yep, that's true. Economists try to maintain inflation at around 2% and largely use monetary policy to do so.
