I don't think they're running their campaign to suit what you want. They're in a position to choose what they do and where and when they do it. Personally I think it's to let Trump vent as he has been doing. Biden wants the nomination back? Kambala? Are these the considered statements of a presidential candidate?
Speaking of inflation.
Part of the article:Speaking of inflation.
Under 3% right now? Big deal. The damage is already done from it previously being much higher than that. My grocery bills are not down 3%. They are up closer to 30% since Biden took office so spare me the rhetoric. I expect no better from the liberal news media.
To be fair, the president doesn't set prices. In my experience, when inflation is up, prices go up...but when inflation goes down, prices don't come down. You can't blame the president for that, you can only blame the companies that provide your groceries.
You got that right! Remember when Biden claimed that inflation was 9% when he took office? When it was really about 1.4%. It was nearly a year and a half after he took office before inflation reached 9%.
Absolutely! My wallet and my bank account speak louder than the spin doctor establishment machine.
You weren't reading 'liberal media'. You linked to an obviously biased outlet that said that inflation had risen another 2.9%. That wasn't even wrong. And inflation hit every country on the planet after covid and Ukraine. I guess you'll find another reason for the increase in all the countries that had right wing governments.
My wise crack about liberal news media was in retaliation to your wise crack about gateway pundit. I know that inflation is not limited to the US and has hit every country on the planet. Finally getting inflation under 3% is a step in the right direction yet it had nowhere else to go but down after reaching a 40 year high of 9.1% under Biden. The damage is already done! I was shouting 1.4% inflation from the rooftops when Trump was in office. I've been singing the blues over high inflation after Biden became president. On what planet is Harris doing so well? What disappoints me the most is watching the country that I love and served in the military to help protect is gradually being destroyed by the radical left movement!
Zero impact? Well, only iff all that drilling produces only dry wells.
Fleece? As in "swindle"? Did those big corps deceive you into buying their products? Or did you decide to buy, let's say, that car, dishwasher, dryer, lawn mower, etc. all on your own?
No. Only monopolies can demand prices as they control their supply curve. But their demand curve remains downward sloping (cp) -- higher prices result in less quantity demanded.
I don't put a lot of stock in polls.and after all the disturbing events I have witnessed in America beginning in 2020 up to the present day, nothing really shocks me anymore in Twilight Zone USA.
Poor analogy to Covid lockdown. "If your kid does not have the flu, do you send her to school?"
Obscure argument? Only to those who will not connect the obvious dots. Poor fiscal policy (Biden-Harris) leads to poor monetary policy (Treasury borrows and the Fed increases the money supply to fund the Biden-Harris' poor fiscal policy) and leads to inflation.
