NEW: Kamala Harris vows to get food prices back to what they were before she came to the White House πŸ˜‚ | Not the Bee

If you elect her again, she'll definitely lower prices this time.

Especially after she mandates price controls that cause thousands of businesses to close and the supply chain to grind to a halt!

Β 

LOL -this is going to be an ongoing problem for her. She's running on the 'change' platform-Β  vote me in and i'll fix the problems.Β  That doesn't work if you were in when the problems started.Β 

She knows she can't sell biden's record and she can't out and out disavow it (with thousands of hours of footage of her saying how great it is), so she's somehow trying to say "I'll do better than the current gov't and the only reason things aren't worse is because i'm the current gov't".Β 

She's in a horrible position and i don't envy herΒ

She is in a horrible position, since Trump gave so many giant corporations huge tax breaks, and transferred the lost revenue onto the lower and working class. If you were able to pass an elementary Economics class, you would be shocked that you would be footing the bill for a billionaire.Β Β

Been drinking again tonight i take it. That made little sense.Β 

At the end of the day bidenomics lead to the greatest inflation in many decades and has left the door wide open to a serious recession and the public knows it. Biden has been fake-pumping the economy and stocks and there's consequence.Β 

SO it's unpopular.Β  She's got to disavow it and avow it at the same time and that's not so easy.Β

Β 

Isn't it?Β  Are you claiming that higher population growth rates don't cause inflation due to the housing shortage?Β 

Are you claiming that spending massive amounts of gov't money in the economy doesn't impact inflation?

The banks and economists all say it's due to increasing population and gov't spending for the most part. The scotia noted in 2022 that a 3 percent decrease in spending would mean inflation could have been addressed without interest rate hikes.Β  Are all the banks wrong too? THe world annks are saying due to the policies of Canada we will now underperform badly for FOURTY YEARS.Β 

Boy - imagine that mike.Β  The banks, the economists, everyone in the whole world other than you and the self admitted alchoholic are wrong.Β  Hmmmm.Β

As was pointed out, inflation is a worldwide phenomenon after the pandemic. Housing prices were increasing in Japan.

So is gov't spending.

You can't dismiss inflation just by saying "gosh it's a "phenomenon"".Β  Β  Thats not how it works. It has causes.Β  It doesn't "just happen".Β

Take a look at covid, and take a look at now. There IS a reduced gov't spending. It's just gone from insane to really really high.Β 

But inflation is going down now MOSTLY due to inceases in interest rates.Β  Those are two sides of the same coin. If interest rates had not gone up then inflation would be as high as it ever got or worse.Β

You say that all the time actually but then try to caveate it.Β 

Here's your entire argument.Β 

"Inflation just happens, nobody's to blame, its a "phenomenon"'

The banks and economist are clear that immigraiton and gov't spending are fueling above-target inflation but i prefer the term "impact".Β 

I'm not saying the gov'ts are good fiscal managers. But i'm not saying they're bad either.Β 

Β 

Mike -Β  the entire economic community agrees that we would not have had the inflation we did or do now without the excessive gov't spending and population growth rate.Β 

You're just plain wrong and you're completely a liar when you claim you're not trying to defend the gov'ts for it.Β  they are currently about 100 percent responsible for our overtarget inflation

But it's just a 'phenomenon' you see.

So all those people lining up for food should just suck it up because you can't possibly think the gov't is responsible for inflaton.Β

Prices were up because of COVID, goofus. The disruption to production and supply chains (some of which still persists), the relief money chasing fewer goods, the extreme shock to the oil industry as people stopped driving (and subsequent price spike as people resumed driving), it all goes back to the pandemic.

How do you still but understand basic market forces?

You probably haven't worked in retail or you wouldn't post such a meaningless stat. That's OK, let's use this a teaching point.

Let's say you have a widget store. You sell the finest widgets on your block. Every month, the widgets you sellΒ  out you $10 a piece. For easy numbers, let's say you sell 100 widgets a month.

For the purposes of demonstration, we will ignore overhead, taxes and all other costs.

If you sell the widgets for $10 a piece, at the end of the month you would have $1000. You could replace the widgets but you would make no money.

So you sell the widgets for $15 a piece. You put $1500 in your register. However, you habe to replace the widgets to have something to sell next month. At the end of the month you have $500 profit.

You rich bastard.

This month, your supplier notifies you that the cost of the widget must go up to $15 on your next order. If you buy this order at $10, sell at $15, you will have just enough for resupply, but nothing for you.

You decide to raise your prices to $20. You make $2000. When you make your next order, though, you spend $1500. Does that mean your profit was $500? Absolutely not. You made a profit based on your original cost of $1000. So your profit (2000 - 1000) is $1000 or a 100% increase.

You still have $500 in your pocket, but the profit was far higher.

Now, let's reinduce taxes. If you make $1000 profit, you pay taxes on $1000. When you compare actual cash in hand from before the cost increase to after, you actually have less money even though you doubled your profit.

You poor bastard.

There may be some corporate greed. I'm not in their books. I also don't know if they are using LIFO or FIFO for tax purposes and how that may have impacted their profit. But, inflation and replacement costs are the primary driver here.

The democrats, however, see an opportunity to capitalize on the emo responses of their Goerbels. They want to increase taxes to increase control and move the ball closer to authoritarian socialism/communism.

1. SOOOOOOOOO dumb. Why do you even open your mouth.

2. Inflation was caused by a few things, all of them Biden's fault:

  1. Mass-producing dollar bills, thereby driving down the value of the dollar
  2. Biden's war on domestic energy: gas and coal. When the cost of energy goes up, the cost of everything goes up, because we use energy to create things and bring them to market, and the market itself pays more money for energy
  3. Biden's war in Ukraine, which reduced the amount of energy getting to market from Russia.
  4. Biden's weakness: he culdn't convince OPEC to increase production after he blacklisted Russian energy and attacked his own energy sector

Here's what a little thing called the US gov't has to say about inflation....
