OT: Transitory relief from inflation?

The New York Post piece probably is. The problem isn't so much in the fact that there is some inflation at the moment - which everybody is reporting - as in your take on it, which blames it entirely on the Democrat party and their - imagined - tolerance of it in the past.

Trying to suggest that I'm denying that there is some inflation at the moment, when I was actually being rude about your attempts to blame it onto the Democrats, is remarkably stupid. If you weren't already known to be remarkably stupid, I might also call it dishonest. but your stupidity is a sufficient explanation.

Nailed it!

I don't see anything unusual from the NYP, they only quoted what Biden said.

Blaming media reports for political propaganda is disingenuous. Biden/Powell is doing too little too late. PPI +1% (+12% annual rate) is not just a little inflation.

Not exactly true. Your reading comprehension probably isn't good enough to lets you see what they were actually doing.

Media reports frequently do constitute political propaganda. Your reading comprehension isn't good enough for you to notice.

When you lie often enough, you probably believe in your own lies.

You ought to know, but you probably think that the misapprehensions that you are passing on are true, rather than politically motivated deceit.

We need you to educate us a little bit. Which part of the article is propaganda?

You need a lot more education than I could be bothered to deliver, and you don't want to get educated.

This is pure propaganda

"Critics blame Biden’s policies, including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, signed in March, which gave $1,400 stimulus checks to Americans who earned up to $75,000 per year, extended a $300 weekly unemployment supplement through Sept. 6 and expanded the annual child tax credit to $3,000 to $3,600 per child, up from $2,000."

The "critics" involved were Republicans who resent any tax-payer money going to anybody who wouldn't vote for them. Giving money to the less well-off does stimulate the economy as a whole - which can be inflationary if you do it for longer than is necessary - but there's absolutely no evidence that this is what has been driving the current US inflation, which does seem to reflect supply chain problems, not that you want to believe this.

You should see their latest lie. All this inflation is Biden's fault according to them. And they also claim that gas prices doubled because Biden halted the Keystone pipline. Also pure horseshit, because the pipeline was going to take years before anything flowed through it and so it had NOTHING then, and has NOTHING now to do with ANY gas price inflation. But there they are on the House Floor spouting horseshit so that utter idiots like Lee can suck it up and believe their lies. Him I do not worry in any way about. It is the violent Trump assholes this guy was trying to rile up to his lies that are the problem. I should find a whole bunch of them and tell them I found a guy they are looking for and tell them that Lee is a Biden Loving democrat, and watch as they storm his house and lynch him. Murdered by the very people he believed the lies of. That would be poetic justice.

Forward looking inflation pressure. Without pipeline, there will not be oil/gas drilling/processing.

From another Democrat under Biden's former boss:

President Biden has repeatedly blamed tangled supply chains for the surging inflation that has seeped into every part of the U.S. economy – but a former Obama administration official on Thursday dismissed that as a "totally dishonest" argument.

Although Rattner acknowledged the pandemic has indeed stretched supply chains, he said the primary inflation source is rapid consumer demand, fueled in large part by unprecedented levels of government spending, including three stimulus payments.

"It’s a classic economic case of ‘too much money chasing too few goods,’ resulting in both higher prices and, given the extreme surge in demand, shortages," he said.

I said forward looking, which is forward from killing pipeline a year ago, which is now.

Glad you agree with him that Biden's claim is "total;y dishonest" and that too much money is inflating prices now.

There are lots of pipe-lines. One more isn't going to make a lot of difference.

That's what Fox News would say. You haven't actually posted a link to the whole of what Steve Rattner actually said, and Fox News can be relied on to pick out the parts they liked best. Money-men like Rattner can work for a Democratic administration while still retaining a pre-Keynesian economic outlook.

It's an important one bring Canadian oil down south. Without it, they are not building facilities extracting/processing Canadian oil.

You can perhaps post what he actually said, or you can just make it up. I don't see how the full transcript would be any different.

You don't see much at the best of times. And there's nothing to stop even a member of a former Democrat administration having a different opinion from Joe Biden.

It isn't as if he now getting advice from the current administrations experts and he won't have access to the kind of data that they do. But it's one more opinion - worth a bit more than yours, but mainly one that's getting air-time from Fox News, who do know which kinds of opinion they want to spread around. Truthful and accurate isn't high on their list of desirable features. Politically partisan does rank higher.

Idiot. The pipeline was NOT going to do ANYTHING for YEARS TO COME. Therefore it had ZERO impact on current prices or how they were inflated to the current level.

So your pathetic claim has ZERO footing.

He did not make the statement a year ago, he made it the other day, you stupid f*ck, and I never agreed with a f****ng thing you said, you drunken f****ng total retard!

You are a goddamned suck up to the liars and respout their horseshit lies STUPID F*CK. Nothing more.
