When Biden took office inflation was low at 1.4% even though the pandemic had already been going on for a year. After he took office however, inflation then increased to 6.2% & rising inside of 9 months. So…this inflation is not due to Biden’s ineptitude but the previous Republican is somehow responsible for yet another of Biden’s failures?
Hey all you useful idiots. Quit talking about Trump. Your guy is in charge, and we have the highest inflation in 30 years, the biggest embarrassment in the way we withdrew from Afghanistan, sky rocketing crime, crisis at the southern border, highest gas prices in 10 years. Face it, there is a reason Joe is at a record low of 38% approval, and Kamala is worse, at 28% approval. #FJB!
Varvel dog piles on the meme that inflation is just a US problem and still doesn’t understand that inflation is global due to supply and demand from Covid shutdowns.
Gary tries so hard to blame Joe for everything. Makes for cute cartoons but this “inflation” Gary is right up your alley, “free enterprise” and charge what the market will bear.. republican mantra.
Remember since Biden took Office,, Inflation has gone up from 1.4% in 2020 to 6.2% in 2021. That is a 4.8% increase in under a Year. Looks like Varvel knows what he is talking about.
Stock market (#45’s favorite economic indicator) up, unemployment down, job growth up, shipping backlog is easing, home values are up, exports are up, GDP per capita is up,…
Another great strip, Mr. Varvel! Keep them coming…its so much fun seeing the Demoncrats freak out over each new strip. Haha. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I love the right wing thought processes. They want to insist that someone like Janet Yellen is wrong as if they know jack shit about economics. They don’t. Janet Yellen does.
Here’s a thought experiment. What incentive does Janet Yellen or J. Powell have to be wrong about inflation? Their reputations ride on their being right. If they were concerned about being wrong, they would be hedging a lot more, don’t you think?

Varvel, of course, thinks that this is all Biden’s fault. Varvel is either an idiot, or he’s being paid to act like one.

Funny thing is – if the GQP regain control of Congress next year, what will they do about “inflation???” The answer … diddly squat!!!

Inflation is here to stay thanks to Biden. Worst President Ever.

Seem every time there’s a Democrat in the White House, the Republicans suddenly remember to whine about inflation.

Perhaps Varvel would prefer UAE. Ultra conservative with an inflation rate of -2.07%. If he’d really rather complain, Venezuela is sitting at 9,986%.

Myopic RW economic ignorance is on full display in this cartoon and many of the comments.

Like L. Benson, Varvel trots out the bogus ‘Inflation Bogeyman!’
