If we've learned anything about the gangster, it's that he's a security threat....He's a corrupt businessman whose business has been bailed
out by Russian mob money for years--fact--and money from other sketchy individuals. And now he's facing huge financial penalties that he's certainly not going to want to pay himself. He's trying to grift off the rubes, as usually, and he's the PERFECT target for people with connections to Russia or other foreign entities.

Biden busted for claiming high inflation 'was already there' when he took office: 'Dead wrong and he knows it'

Biden’s $90 Billion Bailout to Tehran
Rejoining the Iran deal could undo years of progress in the Middle East.
foreignpolicy.com
APRIL 28, 2021, 1:03 PM
"Rushing back into the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also called the Iran nuclear deal, would be a singularly seismic event leading to chaos and instability in the Middle East.
U.S. President Joe Biden has inherited a relatively peaceful Middle East—not without its challenges—but one marked by historic peace agreements between several Arab countries and Israel after decades without movement on the recognition of Israel. Conversely, through U.S. sanctions and Iran’s own ineptitude and mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, Iran’s economy has been left paralyzed and vulnerable. From a negotiating perspective, Biden has plenty of leverage.
Yet last week, the Wall Street Journal reported the Biden administration is considering lifting terrorism-related sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran. In other words, after promising in congressional testimony for a longer and stronger deal with Iran, Biden’s diplomatic team is instead rushing toward accommodation. Although returning to the JCPOA will not happen overnight, it could easily happen this year. And if Biden returns the United States to a JCPOA 2.0, it could reverse positive momentum in the Middle East by destabilizing the peaceful balance of power Biden inherited."
Jake Sullivan’s ‘Quieter’ Middle East Comments Did Not Age Well
The national security adviser has drawn criticism for recent public remarks. Biden officials pushed back on the idea that Mr. Sullivan was offering a lasting view on Middle East conflicts.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

You are blatantly wrong. Republicans had control of both chambers of Congress during Trump's first two years in office, and they collectively took the fiscally irresponsible and highly inflationary measure of reducing taxes and increasing spending. This was also pre-COVID.

reducing taxes does not cause inflation. famous economist Milton friedman said about inflation:
“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”
Friedman said inflation is a problem of too much money buying too little goods in the market. A "rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output" leads to the state of affairs.
Every time money has flooded the market and production has not kept pace, it has resulted in such an economic situation. In the mid-1800s, the Gold Rush created a scarcity of goods, sending prices soaring. But, since money was decoupled from gold and silver, such scenarios no longer play a role in price rises."
Milton Friedman's Priceless Lessons On Inflation
The anniversary of Milton Friedman's death on November 16, 2006, has just passed. We recall his profound insights on inflation.
tippinsights.com
the 'rapid increase in the quantity of money" is gov't spending. During covid, millions and millions of people were UNCONSTITUTIONALLY told to stay home and not work which caused production to go down and supply chain problems. at the same time gov't spending went up......gov't spending outpaced production..too much money chasing too little goods causing inflation. Biden inherited a tame inflation under 2 per cent and he was warned even by those in his own party (Larry summers for one) that the continued squandering of trillions of dollars by his programs "the american rescue plan" and "the inflation reduction act" would caused inflation and it did and those programs solved no problem but were just out of control spending by biden and Dems that controlled congress.
biden wanted to INCREASE taxes,,,, build back better taxed that raised taxes on those under 400k when biden said he would not raise their taxes. Tax increases with rampant inflation further stoked inflation.....
"Bad advice is coming from certain economists who are perennially in favor of tax increases. Kim Clausing, who recently stepped down as one of the administration’s top Treasury officials, claims that economists have reached “near consensus” that “tax increases reduce inflation.” In fact, there is no such consensus on this statement, since it depends on several things, including how the tax revenue is spent.
Clausing further claims that as long as the taxes exceed spending then it will reduce inflation. Again, this is far too simplistic. It depends on the type of taxes, the type of spending, and how this impacts the economy and the ability of the federal government to repay its debt over the long term.
Indeed, by most accounts current inflation was ultimately caused to a large extent by spending—the federal government spent more than $5 trillion, or 27 percent of GDP, during the pandemic, on top of the usual spending, in the form of stimulus checks, enhanced child credits, and other benefits. The splurge was debt financed, with the Federal Reserve purchasing much of that debt through money creation, without a state plan to repay the debt.
As a result, we are now in a world of hurt that cannot be easily unwound. As we warned in January, the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates to address the inflation but that generally brings about a recession. After four rounds of interest rate hikes among many more expected, the Atlanta Fed already forecasts a shrinking economy in the second quarter, and about half of forecasters are expecting a recession in the next 12 months.
In such conditions, it would be extremely unwise to raise taxes, especially the type of taxes advocated by this administration, which would do excessive harm to the economy. For example, applying the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) to active passthrough business income would reduce incentives for those companies to invest, grow, hire, and raise wages. Likewise with attempts to raise the corporate tax rate or target U.S. multinational corporations and certain industries with a complex set of minimum taxes."
Push for Higher Taxes is Misguided During a Time of Inflation and Looming Recession
Some 40 years ago, the U.S. dealt with high inflation and slow economic growth. Then as now, the solution is a long-term focus on stronger economic growth and sustainable federal budgets.

Should Congress Raise Taxes To Fight Inflation?
At least in theory, raising taxes to lower the deficit could ease inflation. But not necessarily for the reason Biden suggested. Tax hikes enacted this year would not have much immediate impact on government borrowing. But they could slow inflation by reducing consumer demand.

Jeff Bezos Is Right about Joe Biden and Inflation | National Review
The idea that raising corporate taxes will reduce consumer prices is absurd.
www.nationalreview.com
The Biden administration has an inflation problem — because America has an inflation problem — but the administration is by and large unwilling to do the things that are in its power to actually address that problem, because such measures are likely to be politically difficult for a White House in which the reflexive response to any problem is to throw money at it. Inflation is a problem that is famous for getting worse when you throw money at it, and for getting better when you stop.
As Bezos points out, Biden and many of his congressional allies tried to throw even more money at our already-overheated economy and were saved from their own worst inclinations only by the relative sobriety of Senator Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat whose willingness to buck his party has made him, for the moment, the most powerful man in Washington. “They failed,” Bezos wrote, “but if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today, and inflation today is at a 40-year high.”
The administration’s suggestion that Bezos’s criticism is only a cover for his disinclination to pay taxes is cheap demagoguery and deserves to be regarded with contempt. It is only the latest in a long line of contemptible inflation dodges: First it was “transitory,” until it wasn’t, and then it was the “Putin price hike,” even though the inflation started long before the war in Ukraine, and now it is Republicans or Jeff Bezos or — give it a couple of days — systemic racism. Anything other than the obvious: flooding the economy with money during a worldwide supply-chain disruption and keeping Covid-era emergency economic policies in place long after the economic emergency has passed.
Biden and other Democrats, notably Elizabeth Warren, have charged that this is an issue of “price gouging.” But big retailers are hurt by inflation as much as anybody — because they are buyers as well as sellers of goods. Walmart, for example, just announced that it missed its first-quarter earnings estimates because of higher prices for fuel, inventory, and labor. It is not the only firm facing such difficulties. Raising Walmart’s taxes at such a time is not the most obvious way to achieve consumer price stability.
"Indeed, the Biden administration has no idea how that would work. When asked about how raising corporate taxes would combat inflation, the new White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, did an excellent imitation of a high-school student who hasn’t done the reading and gets called on to expound on Chapter 32 in Moby-Dick. It is hilariously painful to watch. The president himself often appears to be as lost as last year’s Easter eggs, but Jean-Pierre is if anything even more incoherent — the real world isn’t MSNBC, as it turns out."
then there is biden's student loan forgiveness:
"Larry Summers, a former Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, said on Twitter that student loan debt relief “raises demand and increases inflation.” Jason Furman, an economist at Harvard University and a top Obama administration economic adviser, tweeted: “Pouring roughly half trillion dollars of gasoline on the inflationary fire that is already burning is reckless.”
Conservatives have also attacked the policy and said it would fuel inflation. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, said the policy would “give away even more government money to elites with higher salaries” rather than help working families who are struggling to keep up with rising prices."
Will student loan forgiveness make inflation worse?
The move has drawn criticism from some economists who argue that loan forgiveness could worsen already high inflation.
