ex-President Trump

What has Trump ever said that leads you to believe he understands inflation or was able to predict the payments effects on the economy?

That would be a good question for them both at a debate if Biden even agrees to a debate . Though many economists thoughts on inflation and the economy have kind of been debunked this go around .

Well when i originally wrote my response I didn’t know you were going to take so much heat for this. 😵

But anyway mean people will put a lot more people in jail and nice people will put less people in jail, got it 🙄

Because he bankrupt casinos .
Trump knows how the economy works .
He kept yelling at powelll to lower rates lol .
Lowering rates certainly do not create inflation ….
Yup trump knows how inflation works all right .

I just hope baham really is a troll at the end because omg ….
Is not the only one if not .

baba is not a troll. he really believes what he is saying.

Well not sure you know about inflation if you think its why Trumps casino went Bankrupt.

If lowering rates does not increase or create inflation why would he be wrong to lower the rates

It sounds like your not understanding inflation as much as Trump does

I do know reckless spending causes inflation

It's not intended to be a debate question or an opening for another one of your whataboutisms.

It's a ridiculous assertion by bahbah that Trump understands inflation. Show me one example of him speaking coherently about inflation and it's causes.

Our current state of inflation's causes are substantially more complex than this.

I think the difference is that lots of people may disagree with certain policies (domestic or foreign) of a candidate and agree with others and make the calculation that they will stillvote for a candidate. IMO the Trump/McConnel situation is different. McConnel admits that Trump actively led an effort to overthrow the results of the election. He continues at every turn to undermine, through lies, our very system and institutions of democracy. That isnt simply policy disagreements.

So to me, there is a big distinction between deciding to vote for someone who you disagree with on some policies but not others as compared to deciding to ignore that a candidate actually tried to subvert an election entirely to remain in power just because you agree with his tax policy. At some point I believe that maintaining our democracy outweighs any policy positions. So even if I disagree with every policy a candidate proposes, I would still choose them over a candidate who tried to destroy our democracy.

Lol. He delivered your precious vaccine in record time and you're still complaining.

I would agree but than how do you vote for a candidate that is also fighting democracy by trying to have No Labels not allowed to be on the ballot by using its war chest to fight them knowing they have a bigger war chest .

Lets face reality though no matter who wins Trump or Biden the hate between both parties and its supporters will only get worse . I am still on the fence which will be worse for the country

no one has to fight to keep no labels off the ballot. they dont even have a candidate because the whole thing is a scam. im sorry you got scammed, but you need to let it go now. a third party candidate has no value.

and we all know you aren't on the fence. lol. im not sure what's sillier, the face that lozen hides he's a trumper or that bahbah actually believes the things he posts.

Aghh no they have plans to announce their candidate. You could be right it’s a grift like The Lincoln Project

Why not strike Cornell West and RFK off the ballot as well

i can name more people that have said no they wont be the candidate than i can even think of possible people they could announce after they grift people and media to come to their conference. and i dont think anyone on the left defends the Lincoln project? i guess they are similar as they are both republican scams? if that's your point i agree.

Wow the Supreme Court will hear Trumps immunity case

I think he is like most politicians - they don't have a great understanding of the economy or inflation, but they understand the basics like if you shut down an economy, print significantly more money than normal and pay people not to work that is going to cause inflation.

What makes you say that? I agree they aren't batting 1.000, but that isn't a reason to think they aren't right a large majority of the time on most things.

I wouldn't say it is that much more complex. We printed money at an annual rate of 18% for 2 years following covid (compared to the normal 6%), we shut down parts of the economy and gave out too much money. Those three are a recipe to cause inflation in almost any scenario in any country.

If you are interpreting this development as an indication that there is a serious chance that the Court will side with Trump, I would be happy to wager any non-absurd amount of money. And I would be happy to lay odds as well.

Nope I would never take that bet I never thought they would hear the case

i will give u an hint...
read again

and the other point , if u cant understand lowering interest rates creates inflation i cant help u there...

I am somewhat curious as to whether the tone of the opinion will move the needle of public opinion at all. There is a good chance that the majority opinion will be a relatively bloodless refutation of Trump's position.

But there is also a decent chance that the opinion will be warm to hot--that is, more in line with the tone of the DC Circuit's opinion. The latter scenario would make the SCOTUS opinion a bit more of a news story, but it isn't clear that me than a SCOTUS opinion excoriating Trump would do any political damage to him. It might even help him, but more likely, it just wouldn't matter either way.

There is one, and only one, reason for inflation. Are you ready? It's very simple and 100% fact. The more people realize this, the better:

Inflation is caused by the government printing money out of thin air.

That's it. That's the end of the list of things that cause inflation.

This may shock you, but no it's not.

Yes it is. Everything after it is a symptom of the original and only problem: printing money out of thin air.

Which BoTh SiDeS do.

A 9-0 decision will be bloodless and a split decision will be a Saw sequel.
