Many people vote with their wallets, not so much (unfortunately it's true) because of their understanding of government's correct role in our country.

I'm pretty sure that this time around those people are going to push Trump through the finish line.



Those who blame what inflation has done to us on the pandemic are misrepresenting the truth, which is that flooding the market with cash is the primary driver of the record-setting inflation that we have experienced during the Biden administration.

Step: inflation hit the entire globe and was mostly caused by the following as listed here:

1. The shocks to food and energy prices contributed substantially to the sharp rise in inflation during the COVID-19 period. Energy price shocks were the primary cause of the high inflation rates from late 2021 to the middle of 2022. Lower energy prices in the second half of 2022 contributed to the inflation decline during that period.

2. The combined effects of increased demand for durables and shortages caused by supply-chain disruptions were the main source of inflation in the second quarter of 2021. Both the direct and indirect effects of those supply-chain problems remained substantial through the end of 2022.

3. Tight labor-market conditions, one of the main concerns of the early critics of U.S fiscal and monetary policy, contributed only slightly to inflation. In fact, the tight labor market affected the economy negatively in 2020 and early 2021. Since then, however, the traditional Phillips-curve effect has begun to reemerge, with the high vacancy-to-unemployment ratio becoming an increasingly important factor in the high inflation rates.

Nice cut and paste of Bernanke and Blanchard. Notably absent from the analysis is the contribution of trillions of dollars of government spending of monies that the government did not have, devaluing the dollar.

I'm so old that I recall Biden and his cronies telling us not to worry, that inflation was "transitory." Time has proven that at least under the Biden administration's policies it's here to stay.

But not to worry. Joe has his eyes set on reality. According to him inflation was at 9% when he took office! And here's what he had to say in a recent appearance:

"When I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic..."

Trump cut taxes that mostly benefited the rich and corporations
That added greatly to the deficit.

Trump is a proven traitor and belongs in our Super Max Prison for high crimes against our nation. Not maybe, not nonsensical conspiracy theories but FACTS based on trumps own actions.

Oops! Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans' tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as Biden and so many misleading Democrats have argued.

A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect.

Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.

By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent.

That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.

What's more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year.

In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected.

That means that Republicans' tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive - the exact opposite of what Biden and other misleading Democrats have claimed.

Thank goodness Joe passed the Inflation Reduction Act!

No matter what one thinks of Trump, there is no debating that the economy was better under his administration, inflation was lower, real unemployment was lower, there was relative peace in the Middle East, we weren't involved in a foreign war, gas was cheaper and we were energy independent. If not for the Chinese curse of covid he would have won a second term and our foes around the world would have been kept in check and Biden would be at home decaying with whatever dignity he once may have had. You can be assured that the democratic media complex will pull all the stops to prevent a second Trump term which jeopardizes their place in power. They and their useful idiots are lying now and will lie even more the closer we get to November.
