    Once again: MAGAts have NO concept of market concentration. They don’t believe it exists, and even if it does, it has no effect whatsoever on inflation.

    They believe inflation is caused solely by ’Biden’s policies’, which they cannot identify.

    Pandemic giveaways had nothing to do with inflation? 45 was even signing the checks himself trying to buy votes.

    Daily Reminder: This is Joe Biden’s America. Inflation is a direct reflection onto Joe Biden, Joe Biden’s fault. Bidenflation

    Am I the only one who sees inflation coming down? Yesterday, my weekly shopping was less than $100, and it was a huge amount. Admittedly, I’m a cheapskate and usually get the cheapest brand, but still.

    America: Where people complain about inflation and buy everything with a debit card that adds 4% to the price.

    Peter Coy again: What Would the Economy Look Like Under a Second Biden Term?

    President Biden is campaigning on four more years of yummy stew. A lot of voters are saying, “I like you, but I don’t like your stew.”

    The performance of the U.S. economy should be a winning issue for Biden. … Economic growth is so strong that the Federal Reserve is putting off plans to lower interest rates.

    Biden can’t credibly promise to turn things around because they’re already good by standard measures.

    Sun, and Republicans in general, point to current conditions and blame current office holders. The problem is that current conditions result from past policy. Voters rarely wise up. Exasperating.

    If you are concerned about inflation, compare ours with Argentina, and that’s only one example.

    Trump, since the first panel billboard says 2024, has a plan. Like his healthcare plan, beautiful, terrific and unbelievable. Like his healthcare, ain’t nothin’ gonna happen. Not because of Dem obstruction but because he doesn’t give a flying fig and the grifter is just stringing people along.

    Way off topic, but kinda not; I just saw a clip of Doris Kearns Goodwin talking about her book recapping the 60’s. Made me tear up, we were young and really believed we could do great things. We’ve forgotten our idealism after 50 years of Republican control. We really believed the “Age of Aquarius” was something we could make happen. There is no “Only I can fix it”, it’s “Only We”.
