Mike Lester for March 24, 2022

The long term consequences of leaving Putin unchecked are FAR greater than the current impact to the US economy. Sometimes you have to pay an unpleasant price to avoid something that is worse.

More misrepresentation from Lester. The Russian economy has, in fact, been cut in half by the sanctions imposed by the West, but the US economy hasn’t tanked – https://usafacts.org/state-of-the-union/economy/ And it is much better than when trump left office: https://www.factcheck.org/2021/10/trumps-final-numbers/

Notice the little cowboy boots? Lester knows Texas will revive and flourish as soon as members of the christian Taliban are voted out

Don’t worry, Mr & Mrs Barreldress. If we can keep the Qanon/Cruz/Marilago/GoldmanSachs/Blackstone crowd out of power for a while, things may turn for the better for working-class Americans.

And how does Maleficent Mike believe that Pres. Biden has accomplished this? What exactly has he done to "crush America’s economy? Do you have any specifics? Do share…

Inflation may hurt many in the US, but the sanctions will crush the Russian economy. Too bad their citizens are so used to deprivation and suffering, and generally have no means of redressing their grievances. Although, there is an old Russian proverb that states: “Despotism tempered by assassination — THERE is our Magna Carta!”

Lyin’ Mike Lester. Joe Biden has “crushed” the US economy with record-breaking job growth and almost unprecedented reductions in unemployment. The stock markets are high, which Mike used to tout as proof Don Donald’s economic success. Biden makes a realistic statement about the consequences in Europe of Putin’s war’s disruption of grain supplies, and Lyin’ Mike waves his tiny hands and blames Biden’s economic policies.

Yes, Biden’s economics have produced inflation 1-2% higher than in other advanced economies, balanced by significantly greater employment growth and reductions in joblessness. How many hundred thousands of Americans should have been kept out of work to keep your price of bacon down a dollar a pound, Mike Lester?

Has Lester hired C. Bok as a “temp?”

Lester on the theme of his cartoon: “It’s not going to be real.”

Might want to take an ECON 101 class because you obviously have no clue how inflation comes about. You don’t think the last 2 years of the Trump administration created the basis for the current inflationary trend?

Highest inflation in 40 years, highest gas prices ever, grocery bills out of sight. The midterms will be a tsunami. Better prepare yourselves, Dem’s.

Lowest unemployment since 1969, economic growth consistent AFTER the Jan 6th insurrection uncertainty. Inflation is higher than I like. Food shortages are from Russia taking the Ukrainian wheat fields off the market (largest in the world). Gas is higher, ditto.

Ok Mike, so clarify how Biden’s policies are driving this????

Don’t let the facts, numbers, and context get in the way of your cartoon.

Biden and the Demoncrats began wrecking our economy long before sanctions did anything to Russia’s economy…and they did it on PURPOSE!
