Maybe fox and old lady do not know how the commodities market works. Do you guys need a link or something? Is your google broken?

It is going to take the slow learners ( like Anti) a while to come to grip with reality. And some like Rosie probably never will.

In what way? Your argument was that "Biden's energy policies which already have gas and road fuels up over 30%." I showed that the exact opposite is true... gas prices are identical to May 2019 and May 2018.

With that proven false, can you explain a real way that the "higher commodity costs" lead back to Biden?

A pointless response.

Except that gas prices are identical to May 2019...

At the center of this rolling snowball are Biden's energy policies which already have gas and road fuels up over 30%.

Procter & Gamble announced on Tuesday it will hike prices on baby care, feminine care and adult incontinence products in September to respond to higher commodity costs.



Maybe you can explain how the "higher commodity costs" lead back to Biden?

You have to be a fool. His policies like stopping the pipeline and his tax plan is making everyone pay more.,

Gee I didn't realize that President Biden is running Proctor and Gamble.

Everyone will pay more under Biden. Just was announced that Procter and Gamble will be raising prices on their products along with Coke, General Mills, and Kimberly Clark. And we all know about timber prices along with paper. But Democrats love paying more. I assume that they will love Biden sending Billions of dollars to Iran for the exchange of 4 prisoners. Love seeing that money going over to a foreign country that have killed Americans.

GW has some awesome alt-rightie financial wizards who can solve the national debt and the deficit, while balancing the budget, all without taxes!


Because they honestly believe in Trump's plan to "just print more money."


And that wasn't just rhetoric for Trump, he actually ordered the National Economic Council to "just run the presses - print money," when talking about the national debt.


And you can see that the national debt, and worse, the debt to GDP ratio, increased at a higher rate during the Trump administration than any other time in the last 20 years:


From 2008 to 2012 it increased by 33%, then from 2012 to 2016 it increased by %12. But then from 2016 to 2020 it increased by 42%! So when they talk about "stop borrowing more money that our kids have to pay back," they neglect that the debt increased the most during the Trump administration.

But more important than the debt numbers is the debt to GDP ratio... like comparing your own person debt to your income.

The "sweet spot" for a debt to GDP ratio is 100%; below that and we're not leveraging our credit to improve the economy, and above that we have more debt than we can afford. It was brought from 60% to 100% from 2008 to 2012, then stayed steady until Trump was inaugurated. At that point it brought it up to 105% (the worst ever), and continued increasing it to over 125%!

So Bush's economic policy didn't leverage our credit, and that (in part) led to the Great Recession. Then Trump raised our debt to more than we can afford, because he literally thinks we can just print more money and it doesn't matter.
