under the DEM Biden/Harris Regime.

Thx Clemson Dems, for nothing, for voting for these weak & fleck-less political scumbags.

And you talk about Trump!!

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

I guess we won’t get to find out will we? All were left with us knowing it sucks right now.

outside of the US, and at the inflation rates in the rest of the developed nations. What you'll find is that the US, while unpleasant, is at the very bottom for inflation, but it's a global problem driven by supply chain issues and energy costs coming out of a global pandemic. Predictably, you're going to go with "well, Biden is killing fossil fuels in the US", which is a convenient but very untrue root cause for current gas prices in the US. It doesn't matter that US producers are within a hair of pre-pandemic production, because we do not have the domestic refining capacity to turn crude into petroleum. We HAVE to export crude and HAVE to import refined petroleum to meet our energy needs. It doesn't matter if we start pulling 25 million domestic barrels per day out of the ground tomorrow instead of the current almost 13 million. We can't refine it. Want to pin refinery capacity on the current administration? Let me know and I'll walk you through the history of US refineries over the last half century.

So yeah, we know. It's just that some of us don't like the answer because it doesn't fit our team sport narrative.

Well, I just saw today that inflation numbers are on the rise again. So, whatever the cause it sucks right??

Yes. That is undeniable.***

The one thing for certain is that if a Repulbican was in office the entire media establishment wouldn't have spent the last three years ignoring inflation and the board leftists certainly wouldn't have been crowing about how great our inflation was compared to everyone else like a bunch of morons.

That's crazy. If only Trump were president there wouldn't have been this global inflation. I bet England, France, etc, are so angry with Biden. Trump is a God. This would have never happened with him at the helm.

The article in WSJ ? set price at $10K, not me.

And, please Watch out how you throw the Ignorance word around with another Tiger Fan, assuming you are.

the point is that you can't just assign an amount of buying power lost because that would depend on the individual.

Perhaps you meant the "average" American?

And yes, I went to Clemson and I'm a Tiger fan. I know plenty of Tiger fans ignorant on certain subject...yours is politics :) And as a conservative Tiger fan, that makes me sad.

lightbulbbill® We have all lost purchasing power because of inflation. I would very much like to read the original WSJ article. Thank you.

Also online (not sure if in print) today there is an interesting opinion piece titled “The Stupid Party vs The Evil Party: One of the two parties has no intention of losing with these two front runners. Guess which one.“

Here is the link, I’d be interested in your thoughts. If you can’t access I will copy / paste …unless I’m feeling lazy.

In case Bill lets you down, I did some internet research.

Tim Scott said it at the Republican debate on 8/23. I could not find anything to suggest that the $10,000 figure is correct.
