They're in the tricky spot now of how to back off all of this stimulus without dropping the economy into a recession. Everyone agrees that the Fed has blown this so far at this point (well, except for the libs at the Fed), but the bigger thing to judge them on is if they're able to get out of this. We're in inning 3 or 4 of a 9 inning game, still plenty of time left to see how this ends up.
Yep. Govt profits more of the gas you’re filling your tank with than the gas station or the oil companies.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 7:07 am Bahaha. Getting so bad, Dems are bringing in the evil gas executives to blame for the high prices.
I sure hope one of the gas executives points out like last time (to paraphrase), how they make .08 cents a gallon profit, while the Government adds .80 in taxes. So who is gouging the public?
I wasn’t. But it proves most of the Fed is like the rest of govt- stupid people in high places.
And she should know. MTG and Boobert(sic) are setting up the right-wing equivalent of The Squat.
They’re not stupid.

10.2% Biden inflation tax in 15 months (7% in 2021, .91% in Jan, .84% in Feb, 1.2% in March).
Well, most websites still had the pretty bad inflation news as a headline. CNN, though, even now, does not have it as a headline anywhere. They buried it in a smaller headline further down the page where some Bank of America person is warning of a coming recession. But CNN is pretty far left. Even ABCNews has a headline, with the 8.5% number, as the third headline down the page.TheDancinMonarch wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:57 amThe events in NYC this AM will keep this bad Biden news off the front pages.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:06 am 8.5%

Our wonderful paper here in eastern Virginia, The Virginian-Pilot, which used to call itself "The voice of the Democratic Party in Virginia" highlighted the inflation data on page 16.GannonFan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 1:18 pmWell, most websites still had the pretty bad inflation news as a headline.

That’s quite the leap.
No offense, but why do you have a graph on current inflation that goes all the way back to 1979? Without seeing the raw data, that seems mighty suspicious to do that. Of course labor costs were huge 40 years ago compared to now, but that doesn't really say anything about current inflation. Methinks that is a graph put together specifically to make a point, no matter how hard data had to be manipulated to make the bars look they way they wanted them to look.
No offense taken and I think you raise a fair issue. I’ll point out its not my graph. Matt Stoller is typically solid in his thoughts but this is an EPI chart and they certainly have an axe to grind.GannonFan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 8:28 amNo offense, but why do you have a graph on current inflation that goes all the way back to 1979?

Heck, now looking back at it I'm not even sure how you even look at "unit prices" and assign percentages as neatly as they did to that analysis. And they didn't include the most recent quarter, although I guess they would say 100% of all increases there are due to Putin. No analysis necessary I suppose.kalm wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:31 amNo offense taken and I think you raise a fair issue. I’ll point out its not my graph.

No…no…..no economist would do that.GannonFan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 8:28 amNo offense, but why do you have a graph on current inflation that goes all the way back to 1979?
