President Biden thread

Many were led to believe that Biden was the guy to lead us through the post pandemic phase.  Some said and still say inflation is to be blamed on Trump.  

If nothing can be done, why you were sold the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act?

So called  "Corporate Greed" isn't new.  It is a known factor.

At least we agree that Biden's actions aren't working.  Where I disagree with you is that it's simply a worldwide problem, and that there is nothing that can be done.

Much like "greedy" corporations do, if the one at the top can't get it done, get someone new.

And, yes, generally speaking and with some exceptions, I do love corporations, even though I'm not a Republican.

I think it's important to note that most people voted for Change.  When something isn't working people typically want to see a change and that is what happened in this election.  It was time for a New President, you don't have to like this logic, but it's not Biden's fault that he has had to dig his way out of an enormous hole, coupled with the fact that he has to deal with social piece of people truly believing with the hearts and souls that he didn't really win so he has zero support from them.

So other than more drilling, repealing steel tariffs and mining regulations, all of which will take months if not years to affect prices, how  do conservatives and Republicans fix inflation? 

Raise the Minimum Wage!  Produce more affordable goods and services.  You don't have to raise prices because people aren't spending.  They will spend more/travel more if they believe it's more affordable.  They will invest more if they believe in a secure future.

It's unclear what you thought was meaningful in this article.  Here's a sampling of quotes:

"While experts generally agree that the legislation will modestly help slow the growth of prices, it may not do so in the ways you think, or as quickly."

"Some experts, like Kent Smetters, faculty director of the Penn Wharton Budget Model, do not expect a significant impact in the next few years.

"On one hand, it does not add to inflation, which was what the previous concern that people had about passing legislation like this right now," Smetters said. "But at the same it doesn't really take away from the rise in prices either."

"Still, some of the biggest drivers of inflation, including food and energy costs, are not immediately addressed."

"Because there are several provisions to encourage spending in the bill, the net impact on inflation is unclear."

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which scored the bill, also determined that the bill will have a "negligible effect" on inflation this year and next."

His Treasury Secretary and Fed Chairman have "retired" that term.  And other experts have said it was a mistake to call it that.  Anyone with common sense knows when POTUS, Harris, and others were making the rounds using that term it wasn't for the purpose of having Americans understand inflation was going to be with us for years.

And, what exactly is the Democrat policy plan? Anyone?

Seriously? You don't agree that the passed legislation addresses inflation adequately but it does address it. At the same time,  you can offer exactly no examples of republican policy ideas (much less legislation) to combat inflation. 

The Democrat policy plan is unknown to you while you are busy disagreeing with a portion of that plan.  We just can't make this up.

And most of us don't remain in a job that we aren't cognitively or physically able to do.

Yet the evidence suggests that Biden is fully capable of acting as the chief executive... just look at his achievements in just 2 years.

Never said he wasn't able to do the job , you're making an assumption.  Just stating facts that even you aren't who you used to be years ago. None of us are.  I used to hula for eternity on my waist, my neck, my ankles.  I can't last nearly as long but I can still coach.

Beerman how did you quote me above when I didn't say that.

 Not even Biden is in charge of Russia’s nuclear weapons - Putin is. And Putin is the one making threats.
