Well, I'm glad you asked.

1. (This goes back to the Trump administration) The federal government should have put pressure on states/cities to remain open during Covid and there should have never been "relief" bills passed that pumped money into the economy while much of the production was shuttered.

You are combining two things: relief bills and "pressure" for states to remain open.

On the former, both Trump and Biden adopted such policies. You cannot blame world inflation on Biden for that.

On the latter, that's vague. And how does "open up" help if supply lines are cut, which is essentially what happened here.

2. Once Biden took office he should have never waged his war on oil.

U.S. oil production is at a record high under Biden.

3. Once the pandemic started to subside Biden should have kicked his Transportation secretary in the ass along with most of his cabinet to ease regulations to make the supply chain flow easier and quicker.

Be specific. What regulations? And what would it matter if there was no supply to begin with, given Covid policies of others?

4. Biden should have stopped printing money and putting it into the economy while the supply chain was still in shambles

Shall I go on?

This is a tired, and overly vague claim. Everyone agrees that spending is too high, revenue too low. You can say this about literally every POTUS and every Congressperson of the last 40 years, and you can always say that contributes to inflation. Point being, you seem think Biden can magically have it screech to a halt, which is of course impossible.





Bottom line: I asked for specifics, you gave us the usual broad strokes, high sounding rhetoric that people always give to criticize any given President. You did essentially nothing to lay the current inflation at the feet of Biden, specifically.

I agree. Disagreeing with a national policy is =/= to bigotry for the people in that nation.


Do you think the same on the Palestinian side? People are opposed to Hamas and Palestinian terrorists and that doesn't mean people hate all Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims?

Of course.

So in short you claim there is not a thing Biden could have done?

Wouldn't antisemitism apply beyond a religious construct? For instance, a person could be bigoted towards Jews even though those Jews might be non religious?

No! Klan only went after them Jews that observed Shabbat.

If you were a non-practicing Jew, you were totally cool.

Wait.

You believe sky rocketing fuel prices at the time had no impact on global supply chains?

It was a Perfect time for Biden to go to war with Big Oil and threaten them with extinction?

I did not say there is nothing he could have done. I just haven't heard of any particular, specific set of things, he could have done that anyone can show would have made, or would make now, a significant difference.

I am also saying that those that insist that inflation under Trump would be, or will be, a significantly different picture need to justify that claim by referencing specific things and with more than waiving their arms around and shouting aphorisms about "too much spending" or "war on oil."

That's too easy.

Remember when his administration stood idly by during the west coast dock workers strike when things were trying to come back to normal?

Requesting a 7 Trillion dollar budget would suggest he does not (and almost certainly has not) care at all about such things.

From the Bunker, Hitler expressed his absolute certainty that the political movement he started would survive him and reappear some day. Looks like he was off 80 or do years but he was apparently right.
This is the Nazi party reborn
