Maybe inflation needs to be embraced as a success story - food for thought.

Been thinking about inflation as the mid terms comes up and I think it might be a mistake to look at it as a problem.

Take the software industry approach and look at it like a feature.

I.e:

Biden has increased the value of your home nearly 100%
has increased the value of your car by 50%
has Biden has increased our wages and raises by 25%
Food is now 50% safer!

Your student loan debt is now 25% easier to pay off as inflation has eroded it's value and your earnings are 25% more.
Your morgage debt is now easier to payoff. Same for your car loans and credit cards.
your 401k with energy stocks have surged in value.

The point is that we need to own the best parts of inflation while letting Putin and Trump own the worst parts.

Otherwise the right is just going to claim that everything bad is Biden's fault.


And yet your degree is still useless. ::)

 I cashed my 401k before the recent dip in stock prices. I need my home to live in, so it's only costing me higher property taxes as it appreciates.

All I get is higher gas and food prices. Higher materials cost for my home repairs and remodeling.

I'm 65 on Social Security, so I'm not seeing your upside at all. People who are working poor are worse off than me.

Thanks Pedo Joe!  I voted for you!

Raises? The rise in wages has not kept pace with inflation. And my reward for staying put in my currently much higher valued house is get to pay more in property taxes.

Yea, this would be a real winner and totally not get us annihilated in the polls.

Thanks Pedo Joe!  I voted for you!

5. That sounds awesome to those of us on

Social Security and Veterans Benefits we got a 5.9% increase in January. While everything else has gone up 25% and we will not see anything change for another six months. Look some of us are really struggling and no help is even being discussed.

Thanks Pedo Joe!  I voted for you!

10. Tell you what: go down to the Farmer's Market this weekend and tell people how well they're doing...

...and how inflation is working out for them. Let us know what happens.

I noticed no one seems to be giving Putin credit for the recent tiny drop in gas prices.  :whatever:

YEAH!!!

Biden's junta and the democrat party are really winning then!! TODAY'S NUMBER 9.1% INFLATION.... and we all know real inflation is at least double that.

In other Biden great economic news news: those stock market gains have all been erased. The markets are all below what they were when the pedophile illegally took office. ALSO, mortgage application have biggest drop in history. Basically, all of you bullshit DUmbass economic wins were not wins and if they were are erased. Oh did I mention according to the Federal Bank, we are solidly in a recession.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
