100 percent. If you don't, explain why Trump wants to be the gay lover of the war criminal in Moscow. And don't pretend that he doesn't....
Trump is all about money. He was COMPLETELY incompetent as president--totally unfit. He has mental problems. He's seriously got the personality of a 15-year-old. Did you hear the tape of him talking to woman at Mar-A-Lago about one of the classified documents he stole? He was proud of having it because, in his mind, it's showed how important he was--or used to be. He sounds like a teenager. Adolescent con man, bully, traitor.

The funny thing about MAGA is how utterly clueless and delusional they are about trump---either totally ignorant, or they just don't care, which would be worse. Trump ignored the emoluments clause in the Constitution when he got elected--should have got rid of his DC hotel, but didn't. Used the presidency to make money for himself and his company---abject corruption. He took 100 people to one of his golf resorts practically every weekend. He wanted to hold a G20 meeting at one of his golf courses but had to be talked out of it. Took money from foreign governments--as did, in a big way, his son-in-law. Corruption.

Trump sold out Ukraine in the GOP platform just before the convention--his people axed a reference to providing military aid to Ukraine. Manafort, trump's campaign manager, worked for both a Russian oligarch and Putin's man in Ukraine--the Ukrainian president whom the people chased from office. (Do some reading about Manafort.) Putin, former KGB, knows Trump is an easy mark--EASY. He's already been compromised, big-time. His antipathy to NATO--a BEDROCK of our foreign policy--is transparent evidence that he's been compromised. Weakening NATO has long been a Putin wet dream. (Thanks to Biden and Europe and their support for Ukraine, NATO has been strengthened.) Any decent intelligence agent could compromise Trump.

how can you prove spending under trump contributed to inflation and not the excess spending under Biden?

Again, inflation was low when Biden took office and began to increase with Biden's spending programs. If not for biden's spending there very well may have been no inflation or very little.

Trump's spending caused some of it and Biden's spending accelerated it. Both deserve a lot of blame

CPI is a multi-month lagging indicator. Some of what you saw in consumer prices in March-June was related to original transactions during late 2020...

Here…. Let me show you this one more time.
For the record: under the Trump administration, the debt went up significantly only after Congress passed relief measures aimed at keeping the COVID-impaired economy afloat. In his first three years, the debt rose by $3.3 trillion — too much, for sure, but nothing compared to the $6.25 trillion jump in debt during Biden’s first three years. And there has been no emergency to excuse Biden’s spending.

The COVID relief package that Trump signed into law was only $2.3 trillion.

Dems and their lies and scare tactics..
Yes..middle income taxes went down, not just highest brackets. A big fat lie by the Dems.
Two, never thought I would see the day some citizens want higher taxes. Talk about idealogues and just like immigration, not in my backyard
Three..it is a spending problem, not a tax problem

It says adjusted for inflation. I'm asking if that is the REAL inflation number or the BS one the govt publishes.

My point would be if the numbers have been adjusted for govt reported inflation, tax revenues haven't kept up with REAL, ACTUAL Inflation

IDK..it used CBO estimate of $1T loss and now CBO revision.
Pick it apart all you want, but being CBO you will have a hard time finding anything that isnt biased. It certainly wasnt the fiscal disaster yelled from Dems even to this day.

We literally have people on this board using intellectual dishonesty that they didnt get a tax break and just saying it was only for the rich. Either that or they dont work.
Goes back to being pure idealogue..would rather pay more taxes than be wrong, just like several successful Trump policies, all because they had his name on it. Now that is sick.

The average middle class wage earner got little, no, or even a tax hike...

** Many small business owners did get 199A tax break but those technically aren't wage earners

good to know..Bidenomics, ie job growth and GDP numbers are a scam as well then.

Long story so sorry if boring. Most large companies value their inventories on a LIFO basis for tax purposes. In short, they get to value their inventory factoring in actual inflation or an index based CPI inflation. And for companies with any kind of purchasing power, they would use CPI since it leads to a bigger deduction in the current period.

For decades, pretty much every company with any size would use CPI index since their cost of goods (as a company with large purchasing power) would be lower than average.

Then 2021-2022 happened. These same companies that for 20-30 years had benefitted from CPI> Actual INFLATION got a really rude awakening when actual inflation>>>>> reported inflation. Happened to dozens of companies across all industries and you could see it clear as day in their financial statements as to what happened.

This happened to WalMart, of all companies. Am I to believe the company most aggressive in squeezing vendors would have month over month inflation at a greater percentage than what the govt says...
