It’s crazy how quickly the U.S., which was coined as a place of freedom, quickly grew government overreach.

Couldn’t have too much freedom. Had to create the income tax, had to create the surveillance state, had to get the IRS, had to get the government involved in every single aspect of your life. Genius idea.

While some of this had bipartisan support, the Democrat Party is overwhelmingly responsibly for all of this shit- the surveillance state and the progressive tax and welfare policies.

One could argue the New Deal was the initial cancer that killed this country.
 
Used to say essentially this very thing when Dion would go on about how much more “educated” he was than everyone else on here. I used to say there is such a thing as being “over-educated” which is what most of academia are today.
Yeah, but colleges now grade on a large curve in order to keep people coming ($) and many of the studied subjects are useless and opinions based (social justice type) or not based in real facts. Follow the science lately means made up emotionally based findings that are not reality. It is more of a fictional world view of science and biology. Studies have now gone away from the traditional time proven facts and material to a new version of how I think it should be.
 
Price "gouging" is a loaded term. It is inflammatory and apparently works with simpletons. First off, you are exaggerating greatly about a cherry-picked statement by a Kroger exec that they had raised the price of eggs and milk "above the inflation rate." Is there some law that you wish to quote stating that a business cannot raise a price on an item by more than the published inflation rate? Seriously? This is completely a red herring. So what. If Kroger raises its price on eggs and milk....then freaking go nextdoor to Walmart to get them. That is how a free market works. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?
Someone needs to pop the bubble he/she lives in so he/she can get out more.

Assange may be you most quoted. Also, the subject of a lot of memes. Could Julian Assange live in Austin, Texas?

They all raised them in expectation of increased supply chain costs and scarcity. They knew those issues were supposed to come afterward. What they didn't do is pay their base suppliers any more than they had previously. So sales dropped and suppliers closed their doors (or were burned to the ground in many areas).

There is such a thing as price gouging, but it almost always coincides with a forced market shortage or monopoly on product availability. People buying up all the TPA so they can sell it online for 5 times the cost, is just one example.

Saw a couple people trying to buy 2-3 Kroger carts full of TP with either a food stamp or voucher program card back during the plandemic. Got into a shouting match with the staff and were going to try to walk out with it, until other customers spoke up. They wound up leaving without a single package of TP.
 
Libtards...learn to have fun!!!

That looked more like the D-League Dancers.
I deleted most of your outstanding post to focus on his farm policy. My dad is a now retired farmer, and when Carter imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union after their invasion of Afghanistan, it caused a major collapse in grain prices. This at a time of high inflation. It caused a lot of economic pain for farmers, our family included.

My dad never forgave Carter for that.
Carter was also the reason the rescue mission for the American hostages in Iran failed in disaster killing several US military men. He made a last-minute decision to change the location landing zone for the initial mission not giving enough time for the pilots and maintenance crews to prepare the birds for the new location. This according to a colonel I once talked to who was in the room when the decisions were being made. Presidents or politician should never get involved after the go ahead to rescue is approved. Just let the Generals do their jobs.

How quickly the hostages were released when it was found out they'd be facing President Reagan!
 
So says the MAGA that blamed every penny rise in the price of gas or eggs on Joe Biden.
No consideration at all for post Covid supply chain issues inflation and a freeze on Russian oil/gas due to a war in Ukraine.
Try some of your own logic on yourself.
Says the guy that blames 2020 unemployment on Trump and NOT the coronacold.

Do you purposefully try to defeat your own arguments??
 
Fauci my ass. It was a GD worldwide pandemic involving a novel coronavirus humans had almost no immunity to.
People were dying by the tens of thousands ACROSS THE GLOBE.
Yes it shut down the economy. Did government overcorrect in its response? Probably, but they were attempting to save lives.
You seem to have forgotten that even in deep red states the governors like Abbott and DeSantis imposed heavy restrictions for a period of time.
Masks were a minor inconvenience to us adults in the room.
Plagues have occured throughout mankind's history.
You sound just as idiotic in your blame of Democrats for Covid results as those that thought the the Bubonic Plague was caused by spirits and swamp gas.
Fauci funded the GOF research that developed the coronacold. Every intelligent adult knows this now.
 
No doubt lots of things can raise prices. I’m speaking specifically to the price gouging that major grocery chain executives have admitted to. I guess you’re cool with that?

Also Trump campaigned that he would lower prices day one. But has already walked that back and said “once prices go up like this, it’s hard to lower them”. Gee I wonder why that is.
What was the rest of that quote?!?

Here's a hint:

I'd go back to 1913 with the advent of the income tax. That alone put big gov't into every man's wallet and woman's purse. The New Deal would be the 2nd worst and the Great Society was the nail in the coffin.
 

Alot of really good info in that tweet that is entirely correct. However i disagree with the notion that hundreds of years of social norms were cast aside by boomers.

The reality is it was intentionally dismantled by chinese funded globalists to attack the us and wasp nations so as to weaken their armed forces.

As is often shown in this thread, nearly every marketing, social media post, influencer, etc aimed towards wasps heavily focus on not having children, not needing a man, promoting homosexuality, and promoting impulsive sexual and financial behavior. Wasps are the only ones constantly barraged by such brainwashing and jt absolutely worked

Completely genius long game tactic by our enemies. Marriage creates families. People fight and go to war for their families. Families breed children. People work hard and die for their children. Some of these children grow into fighting men who then pursue the same goals. The US already proved unbeatable. So the best way to attack was the social fabric that held everything together.

An ingenious long game tactic by our enemies. Aided by traitors for sure. But a far cry from being blamed solely on the efforts of some hippie boomers. Jmo.

So the inflation explosion act spending had nothing to do with prices?
I blame every penny on Joe and the puppeteer.

Seemed like that man never considered consequences. Reality was he hadn't a clue what he was doing and fell into the lap of the DS every time. Had no business sense and had no business or sense being president.

And they budgeted for it moron...as soon as democrats took office they started spending without making sure it was covered.

Do you understand in the slightest how balancing a checkbook works?

100% government employee.

The size of the spend doesn't matter if you have the surplus...its when you don't its a problem

Let me make it easy for you: if you buy a 1000 dollar TV but have 4000 dollars of income coming in, its not a problem. If you buy a 500 dollar TV but have 100 dollars coming in...its a problem. BUt OnE CoSt MoRe

Good Lord almighty you are brainwashed AND clueless. That is quite the combo. Who dresses you in the morning??

  • National debt during Joe Biden’s presidency has increased by $7 trillion since he took office, an increase of 24.75% as of September 2024.
  • During Donald Trump’s whole presidency, the U.S. national debt increased by $8.18 trillion, a percentage increase of 40.43%. This is less than Barack Obama (69.98%) and George W. Bush (105.8%). However, Donald Trump was in office for only 4 years compared to 8 years for both Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
 
@sambowieshin why does biden love terrorists so much?

So Biden has worked out a deal that some of the terrorists who have already been jailed for decades will plead guilty to their crimes and spend the rest of their lives in jail with NO possibility for parole.....so that means he loves terrorists??
Life in jail with no chance for parole sure doesn't sound like love to me.
The other option is a public trial which draws attention to the terrorists, makes them martyrs for other terrorists, gives them a platform to spew their BS and renews old emotional wounds. Nah. Biden got it right.
If it was such a big deal to execute them and have a trial.....Why didn't Trump's dumb azz do something with them while he was in office???
