Inflation easing considerably

It was slave revolt that brought the pressure necessary for emperors to gain control. Rome was successful, but it was built on the backs of slaves. Most of the corruption, perversion, and indolence occurred under the imperial Rome.

No, it was a forced takeover by Caeser and his legions who marched into Rome and took power.

Ok dingbat.

First off, inflation and price increases are not the same thing. Inflation is the result of the federal government printing money faster than the rate of wealth creation. The Fed manipulating interest rates has nothing to do with inflation. Price increases are the result of increased costs associated with bringing products/services to market. Prices will change as the related supply/demand components within a market change.

The rest of my response will be assuming that you are wanting to discuss price increases (groceries cost THIS MUCH now!!!???).

Do you realize that the Fed manipulating interest rates can only affect the DEMAND side?? Current price increases ARE NOT being driven by the demand side (demand for consumer goods has been freefalling for years now... WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION for goodness sake!)... Current price increases are actually being driven by the SUPPLY side, driven by the radical change in national energy policy (ideologically chasing solar panels and windmills). IOW... low supply (read: shortages), due to radical "green" national energy policy, is in a general sense pushing prices upward.

What the Fed is doing, underneath their pretending that the demand side is the issue, is trying to "manage the transition" from coal/oil to wind/solar. "Managing the transition" unfortunately involves purposely pushing demand as low as possible (hence the increased interest rates DURING A DEPRESSION), pushing demand down in line with the purposely lowered supply. No amount of Fed interest rate manipulation can address the root cause of these price increases, which is the ideological (idiotillogical?) national energy policy that is crushing the supply side.

Enjoy the "new normal"! ;)

TLDR: Democrats are pretenders, in this case pretending that demand side = supply side.

Still stupid aren't you? Inflation in this case is boosted by a 53 percent increase in Energy Company profits. Lots of corporations are having enormous profit gains. The fed is tightening its monetary policy. They have raised the rate 7 times.
Covid created a pent-up demand. The supply chain was unprepared. So we have more money chasing fewer goods.

Consumers grew more optimistic about inflation in November amid expectations that both food and energy price increases would be less severe in the coming year, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.

The central bank’s Survey of Consumer Expectations indicated that respondents see one-year inflation running at a 5.2% pace, down 0.7 percentage point from the October reading.

That’s the lowest level for that reading since August 2021 — the early days of the inflation surge that has gripped the economy and pushed the Fed into a series of aggressive interest rate hikes that is likely to continue this week. The most recent annual inflation rate as gauged by the consumer price index was 7.7% in October.

In addition to the brightened short-term outlook, the inflation-rate projection for three years from now edged lower to 3%, down 0.1 percentage point from the previous month. A relatively new data series reflecting the five-year outlook declined by the same level, to 2.3%.

Good luck with that. Could be because the people hope the GOP in the house can get things done. Food prices have not come down and don't be surprised if gas goes back up

Uh. Not quite. Crassus, Pompey, and Ceaser formed the First Triumvirate, which seized control from the Senate. Crassus used the slave rebellion to justify the seizure. While Crassus never ruled, he was instrumental in putting Ceaser into power.

Nope. There is only one cause of inflation: printing money faster than wealth being created.

Lots of corporations no longer exist, due to interference by Democrats. The economic depression started by Democrats continues to this day.

Irrelevant. Interest rates have nothing to do with inflation.

The supply chain is broken, thanks to the Democrats and Biden.

Made up number.
Business profits do not cause inflation.

WTF is a "profit gain"?? Are there "profit losses" as well? WTF would THAT even be?? You really need to start speaking English... This is all irrelevant anyway, as business profits do not cause inflation.

I have already explained to you what they are doing and why. They are pretending that the demand side is the supply side. They are doing this because they want to crash demand to match with the crashed supply due to the Biden Regime's "green energy" policies (and concurrent war against hydrocarbon based fuels).

That's the lie that the Fed is selling to gullible illiterate morons such as yourself. WE. ARE. IN. A. DEPRESSION.

Of course. Who would've thought that state governments would shut down all "non-essential" (according to them) businesses within their states over what symptomatically resembles a mild flu?

Oh, a surprise. let's pretend it is real. The GOP is doing nothing. They have no power. In Jan. they plan endless investigations. I bet you think that will fix our problems.

Lets ask again what an expert like you would do to curb inflation.
Click to expand...

for starters:

(1) Stop deficit Government spending which leads to printing currency

(2) Stop policies that attack oil and prevent extraction and exploration. Increasing the cost of energy feeds inflationary pressure on ALL industries.

(3) Allow the building of nuclear power plants.

(4) End the boondoggle known as "green" energy. It doesn't work.

These policies alone will go a long way to reducing inflation.

Biden....January of 2021......by intentionally increasing the cost of transporting everything everywhere........because he's a deranged imbecile and you willingly put a deranged imbecile in the Oval Office......when we get the power we will fix it, so far we only have the House......anything else you need repeated to you?.....

1.Of course you ignore the fact that Rump increased our national debt by $7 trillion +. Using your logic, that's what began our inflation.

Most of the Trump spending was due to Obamacare coming into effect after Obama left office. A deliberate, sinister and corrupt act. It was also due to Pandemic spending.

Try to be a less uninformed, lying hypocritical asshole on steroids. Biden has exceeded that in less than two years and you're A OK with that right dipstick?

2. I didn't realize just how powerful our President is, to cause inflation not only here but in almost every country world wide.

You don't "realize" a lot due to your lack of education and severely retarded IQ dipstick. :palm:

3. How did Biden increase the cost of transporting everything. You must have an example.

He gave you the reason in several posts, you dishonest, worthless piece of human excrement. By increasing our energy costs significantly attacking our oil industry.

Now run along little man. It's obvious you're not interested in serious honest debate or the facts.

Have you EVER watched Tucker's show? Yes or no. I don't expect you to be honest. It's not in your DNA.

PS; if you think those are evidence of lies, you're really dumber than a box of rocks which is proven by the moronic sources you cite. :palm:

I use to watch Tucker in his very early days before he went full troll for the money. When he lost the bow tie, he lost his soul.
