Kamala Caused Inflation?

[Tribal Outkast]

If only that little pandemic thing didn’t happen.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

here's why this is a republican lie:

the 3 covid relief bills caused inflation. trump signed 2 of them, biden signed 1. so you can blame both biden and trump for causing inflation, or you can blame covid. but you can't blame just biden

donalds is a lying fakkit

This is why I hate politics. COVID was obviously the cause of all of this. People speak in half truths around the issue (and every other major issue) just to back their political stances/parties. Then it becomes less about right and wrong and all about who is the best debater. It’s sickening.


As much as I think Trump fumbled the handling of the pandemic, I acknowledge that even with a competent leader we’d still have to deal with most of the mess caused by COVID

Inflation is happening in every single country in the world

That's because when inflation impacts America, that ultimately impacts the nation as opposed to the reverse.

 

[Peter Popoff]

One, Kamala is not the president.

2 himself cannot cause inflation. Inflation was caused by creating trillions of stimulus dollars out of nothing during pandemic combined with supply chain issues. This occurred under trump. There were simply too many dollars competing with one another over too few goods. The idea that a president can cause inflation is pure

This is all that's needed. The VP cannot make or break these decisions. He cannot prove it himself that Kumala is the cause of this decision when the president ultimately makes the final call based on judicial ruling.

It’s not that he increased spending, he went too far with it as did other governments.

I disagree given the size of the problem. The world economy was shut down, millions of people were dying. Drastic action was needed and much of the world stepped up. I don't think anyone wanted a repeat of 2008 when a global recession was largely dealt with via austerity in Europe and a stimulus bill that was not big enough in the US. The world and the US recovered but it was a slower process due to decisions that were made.

I think we'd be better off if Trump's initial covid response mirrored the Biden 2021 one (specifically the child tax). That's what kept people out of poverty and helped people keep spending. And given how much people have conflated inflation with "McDonalds is more expensive because they were desperate enough to pay workers more" or "goods are more expensive due to shipping delays," I don't think more government spending would have been the real problem. It's easier to blame inflation than the supply chain. It's easier to blame inflation than acknowledge people are getting paid more. And it's certainly easier to blame inflation than talk about the corporate driven price gauging we've seen.

The frustrating/ironic part is that people like Byron only refer to the name of the Act.

American Rescue Plan = Stimulus Checks (and other stuff)

He's basically saying that the stimulus checks everyone spent shouldn't have happened and we shouldn't have gotten stimulus checks. Feels mighty Republican denying direct payments to the people after a pandemic.

Also, how does he explain the entire globe going through inflation post-pandemic and not just Americans who got stimulus checks

This right here. You know it pains conservatives that for the first time in recent American history, help went directly to the people and not businesses like it usually does.

They’ll do anything to vilify help going directly to people and not say a damn word about all the money that has gone to businesses when they cause a financial crisis.

They had a choice, stimulate demand during pandemic or do nothing and spiral into a recession or worse.

These simple Jack posters like OP and @the cac mamba cant see past their noses so they fall for conservative talking points.

Cap, multiple things caused massive inflation. Major component was collusion in the retail sector that just gets ignored by folks throwing out talking points because they trying to speak to their base instead of being objective. Why yall think these lobbying groups want Linda Kahn up out the paint. Retailers turned massive profits by gouging then claimed retail theft was causing them to raise prices, meanwhile behind the scenes companies trying to merge so there is less competition and allows for illegal price fixing

People also took part in stock market manipulation during COVID so when the general public started taking part in what a selective group of people only used to have access to.......

I didn't see this episode but I'm positive Charlemagne didn't push back on this because he's not equipped to deal with a steam roller like Byron Donalds. Medhi Hasan is a master at dealing with filibustering politicians because he'll continue to ask the original question while politicians try to filibuster the answer. It's like night and day seeing how medhi dealt with Jill Stein vs the breakfast club. It's no wonder grifters increase their profit after doing breakfast club interviews.

But back to your comment about price gouging, people can see why raising the price on bottled water right after a hurricane is bad but can't see why doing the same after a global pandemic is just as bad as well. Yes, the supply chain got wrecked and they were justified during that period but they kept the grocery prices the same after the price of commodities went back down.

Unfortunately I have no faith in Charlemagne referencing a commodity chart, fed rates, or the fact that inflation has cooled.

One of the main criticisms of the TBC having political guests is they weren't equipped for those kind of discussions
So they started bringing in people like Angela Rye. But between this interview and the Jill Stein one it's becoming clear Rye ain't equipped for these discussions either

Can the BC be so naive as to think people like Byron, Vivek or Candace Owens come to dialogue in good faith or are they purposefully platforming grifters for nefarious or self serving purposes.

They should drop a bag and replace Angela with Roland Martin.

It’s a bad look for Hip Hop community when the biggest platform gets constantly sonned by conservative grifters and charlatans.

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

THERE IS NO INFLATION!!!!
Profits are up!!!!!!

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

The information era of free knowledge and yet stupidity has a strong hold on the masses.

Make it make sense.

 

[Fillerguy]

Kamala is the most powerful VP of all time.

 

[TheJet]

Remember when the breakfast club was good

Bern a while. Bring bYke Yee
