loan cancellation and giveaways to Ukraine need to stop. Friedman famously repeated to his audiences that there is only one entity which can cause inflation and that is government. The trillions of dollars this dumbass president and his advisors are pissing away in fake-named bills covering up their true intent, climate scam, are funded by fake money creation which increases money supply, M1 and M2, which in turn creates too much money chasing too few goods which causes inflation. It has to stop. Good American working families are suffering horribly and it’s getting worse. Very few news outlets are focusing on it because they’re too busy reporting on the illegal aliens and transvestites. They’re more worried about them than they are about everyday Americans. Working American families need a break and the only way they will get one is by reversing the $1.6T in fake bills the dotard and his handlers have rammed through with the help of complicit republicans. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy...-say-finances-taking-toll-their-mental-health

Do you Biden voters really want four more years of his insane policies?

Your points are correct. However, in my North Georgia County I see more 4 door gas guzzling pickups every day. That's about all the dealers have on their lots. The restaurants are full. Two more just opened. Walmart and Home Depot parking lots are almost full all day. Not many are cutting back on spending which drives up inflation. Doesn't individual spending affect inflation the same as government spending?

Yes, it fuels inflation which is caused by the government creation of money. I think your observations do not take in those suffering most from price inflation. The restaurants are certainly not full here in East Cobb and are failing very frequently. Walmart is laying off employees and shuttering stores. I think you’re wrong by saying not many are cutting back on spending. For a liberal you seem to have little empathy for the lower working class. They most certainly are not buying gas guzzling pickups. You also seem to be totally unaware of the financial struggles of Americans, probably due to your choice of news sources.

Since you must live in an incredibly affluent area and are unaware of American family struggles in the inflation the Bidenistas created, here is another article for you, although it’s obvious you didn't bother to read the first one I posted, which you should because it might give you a broader view than just your neighborhood.
https://sph.lsuhsc.edu/press/millio...t found that 44.2,nearly 45 percent from 2021.
 
Friedman also said a country can survive a liberal immigration policy. A country can survive a generous welfare program but no country can survive both. It's almost like there is an intentional attack on capitalism and the middle class.
I’m not sure, but I imagine Friedman’s concept of a liberal immigration policy looked nothing like what Biden has created. And the same for his concept of a generous welfare program. Surely Friedman did not envision extending welfare to millions of illegals.

And, imo, there most certainly is an intentional attack on capitalism and the middle class. They, whoever they is, intend to achieve their goals by engineering a financial crisis and convincing the braindead 50% that socialism including government takeover of critical sectors is the only answer. They are struggling to achieve financial collapse. You have to admire the resilience and toughness of this economy, but it can only take so much. Can you imagine what another pandemic and lockdown would do to it?

And I see that at the end of this month nations vote on a WHO treaty that might cede power to WHO and threaten nations’ sovereignty in some measure. WHO and supporters are in full coverup spin mode about this. Trump would never let this happen to us. We’ll see what the Bidens do. Is this not a threat to “our democracy”?

Even the affluent are shopping for groceries at Walmart now and Home Depots sales have been down the last six quarters. Successful restaurants like Red Lobster are teetering on bankruptcy and a freaking Qtr pounder combo meal at McDonald's is almost $13 bucks....up 86% since 2014....The main Atl metro counties Dekalb,Cobb (except E.Cobb) ,Douglas,Gwinnett Clayton and Fulton (except extreme North Fulton) have free or assisted school lunch enrollment of 90% plus. Bubbas drive 4x4 trucks...and Retirees eat out, especially the imports who moved to N.Ga from a high cost area of the country and paid cash for a home and have 1/4 the taxes.

Friedman's stance on immigration was basically anyone that could pass a basic health and criminal screening should be welcomed to come live the American dream just like some of the European immigrants that came to America with very little but a dream and work ethic. Of course he didn't advocate letting them starve if they struggled but thought friends, family and voluntary charity should be their safety net. He certainly didn't advocate for bussing them all over the country, giving them free food, housing and healthcare.

People around here who used to make $10 an hour are making $16. Those who made $15 are making $20 or more. They are spending it. If this is typical of the country then we have a lot of wage-push inflation.
Yes it hurts the poor but paying for long neglected infrastructure projects is not the cause.

Why don’t you read the two articles I posted and ask Google if working poor are struggling. You are way too ignorant on this issue to talk to, so enjoy your crowded restaurants and I hope you never find a f***ing parking place at HD or Walmart.

Edit: And Acts like the Infrastructure Act, riddled with pork and climate garbage, most certainly are the cause if you print money to pay for them.

Yes, LEGAL immigration.

Never gets old:


* "Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money."

* "too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else."

There is an intentional attack on both. This is known as purposely destroying our country and turning it into a communist state.

Ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner.

Every stupid thing done for 3 1/2 years of the O'biden term has been done purposefully to hurt the country. The invasion, war on oil, spending, creating inflation, F'd up pullout of Afghanistan, etc, etc. All on purpose to destroy the country.

Obummer did this for 8 years already and if not for Trump winning in 2016, we would be finishing up 16 years of Obummer and Hillary with a completely destroyed country. They are pretty close to total destruction today.

The real fight isn't "R" vs "D". It is Sovereignists vs the Davos/great reset/WHO controlled/Freedom hating fascists.

Interesting logic.

Socialism, baby! Y'all got it figured out this time, doncha?!
