GQP: “I LOVE MY COUNTRY, but I don’t want to improve the infrastructure, consider education, healthcare, or the environment as infrastructure, modernize the economy, believe in science, or make multinational entities/individuals pay taxes and stop paying politicians”
Varvel got something right for a change! Inflation has been going up since the Republican tax cuts and is surging with all the new money being created for stimulus. Our Government has been fudging the figures for years to avoid COLA for Social Security recipients.
East of Idaho Bill forgets that the inflation during the Carter years started under Nixon, accelerated under Ford, and was slowly tamed by Carter’s appointment Paul Volcker to the Fed. He forgets the WIN (whip inflation now) buttons handed out by the Ford administration.
The nation’s Wealthiest citizens and companies took many bites of the apple by this time, exposing the worm burrowing in the core. Or is it only half a worm? Yuck.
I guess if we had just let things implode like the Former Guy was doing, Inflation wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Poor starving people on the streets that can’t afford food or shelter because they have no work is not as bad as giving them a stimulus check so they can buy food and pay rent in Varvel’s mind.
Another Trump Disciple cartoonist shows his expert knowledge of economics.
Next lessons are how tax cuts for the rich pay for themselves, and how trickle down eliminates poverty (as if Trump Disciples give a sh!t about poverty).
As a person on a fixed income, I DO worry about inflation. As a citizen of the USA, I worry more about infrastructure, health care, access to education…

Mr. Varvel is reminding us of all those really memorable speeches that George Washington made about the horrors of inflation.

Oh. Varvel thinks he is an economist now AND he thinks he knows more than the real economists.
