Rand Paul report on inflation, it's going to get worse!

[McRocket]

It seems the Fed didn't say what you claimed they said. In fact they clearly said the opposite of your claim.

I freely admitted that I was not clear enough.

I clarified my position here:

[McRocket]

You said one thing, then posted a source that said the opposite, then you tried to redefine what the source said, and when that failed, you tried to redefine what YOU SAID.

Do those sound like the actions of an emotionally balanced person?

And which source said 'the opposite'...of whatever the heck you are talking about?

 

[McRocket]

The problem is that you DIDN'T clearly state it, and then had to spend all this time retconning what you said to fit it within the narrow parameters of the dumb argument you were making.

So you lost the throughline of your argument and you bored the shit out of everyone by making it about your inability to clearly articulate your points.

It's not like it's a hard thing to do...

You even said yourself that you weren't articulate and had to further explain yourself; but then when you did, you contradicted everything you had said about yourself originally.

So you're just running us in circles because you can't seem to get your shit together.

Sorry you feel that way.

Have a nice day.

So… we should have sacrificed growth then? You can’t have it both ways. The reality is that the economy is incredibly strong. Rapid growth, rising wages and low unemployment. The alternative would have been to NOT put Americans back to work. Would that be better?

What reality is that? Is it on this planet?

Ummm...I simply asked 'where did I type that'?

Washing your hands after taking a shit is the symbolic substitute for wearing a mask or getting vaccinated in this thread.

Because not washing your hands after taking a shit is just as stupid and dangerous during COVID as not wearing a mask and not getting vaccinated.

So that's how I got to that point to lob against you; that is how rhetoric works.

Sad that I had to explain it...I was expecting much more out of you.

But I suppose you probably disappointment a lot of people in your life.

 

[LV426]

I did not ask that.

What you did was make a pathetically weak argument, didn't think I would bother to check your source, and now are acting defensive because you opened your big fat mouth and put your tiny foot into it.

 

[LV426]

I did not ask that.
I said where is it in the article where he said EXACTLY what I typed?
Which you stated that is what he said 'precisely'?
BTW - he did not say what I typed 'precisely'.
So, I suggest you either admit it or move on to something else.

You said at the beginning of this that Powell said inflation wasn't because of supply-side issues, then you posted a link where Powell literally said the root cause of it are supply-side issues.

But you didn't quote that part of what Powell said, I did; you lied about it in your original post because you didn't think anyone would bother to check your work because you are an entitled turd of a person.

 

[McRocket]

LMAO do you think this is believable?

And if you say "I don't care if you believe me", you're admitting to lying...because that's what liars say when their lies are confronted.

So you are actually saying that if someone says 'I don't care if you believe me'?

That automatically means they must be lying?

Yes or no, please?

The Federal government is still running HUGE, monthly deficits.
https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts.pdf

So the government is still 'stimulating' the economy. Whether it calls it that or now.

I am not saying I agree with Rand Paul's assertions completely.
But I do agree with the basics of it.

And saying that the government macroeconomic stimuli is over is not correct.
And that is not even mentioning the Federal Reserve.

Look at this clown move the bar....

So all government spending is now stimulus spending because that's the only way his shitty argument makes sense.

 

[LV426]

THANK YOU.

 

[LV426]

I freely admitted that I was not clear enough.

Again, the problem isn't that you weren't clear...the problem is that you were just plain wrong.

You still have not posted where Powell said EXACTLY what I typed.

Which you claim (in essence) he did.

Give it up man...you made a mistake.
Powell did NOT say the words you claim he did.
Just be a man/woman about it and move on.
For your own sake.

You are just digging a deeper hole.

 

[LV426]

And which source said 'the opposite'...of whatever the heck you are talking about?

The Fed said the opposite, and even Poor Richard pointed that out to you.

At this point, you're just stalling.

 

[McRocket]

Again, the problem isn't that you weren't clear...the problem is that you were just plain wrong.

Agreed.

Based on what I typed in the first post.

What I typed in the end of that post WAS erroneous.

 

[McRocket]

At this point, you're just stalling.

[LV426]

Sorry you feel that way.

Wow...typical.

Nice to know you will never hold yourself to any standard on JPP or elsewhere.

 

[McRocket]

Wow...typical.

SO...you can predict the future?

Who will win the Super Bowl?
I would LOVE to know so that I could place a bet.


Oh...and 'typical' of what/whom?

The government is borrowing money to pay our deficits. That borrowing is like any borrowing, attempting to portray it as 'stimulus' is misleading and incorrect. What government stimulus are you talking about that isn't 'over'. Federal unemployment benefits are over. Stimulus checks have been spent. Inflation is simply more dollars chasing fewer products. Why is consumer demand up? Because during the early stages of the pandemic, savings rates skyrocketed and the economy shrunk. In order to jump start the economy, a massive stimulus bill was passed. Combine those two factors with lack of available supply, and you have inflation. Lots of dollars chasing fewer goods. Of course. What was the alternative? NOT stimulating the economy? Doesn't seem like a great alternative. Inflation at this point simply isn't that big a problem, given economic growth, wage increases, and supply chains beginning to free up. So what would you think Biden could have or should have done to prevent this inflation?

Fine.

And where is a link that shows that in the last 60 days did the Federal Reserve say that 'Inflation at this point simply isn't that big a problem'?

On an anonymous internet forum like JPP, you bet!

Your kind always invokes weird personal given circumstances that would never hold to scrutiny; so that's why you make those wild claims here because you know there's no way to verify it.

So you swap that bullshit in to paper over the factual deficit that exists in your argument.

Your argument about inflation being partisan is failing? Why then just make some shit up about yourself to establish false credibility.

Again, you're not very original when it comes to this, and this isn't my first rodeo.
