Presidential Election 2024

Now, an more honest argument can certainly be made tht Biden has no control of monetary policy, between the $4 trillion additional dollars the FED printed and the fact that they spiked interest rates at a pace not seen since the Volcker era under his administration.

But that's not what you seem to be saying (unless I'm mistaken).

And even then, the truth is Biden *DID* make several policy blunders that heavily contributed to the high rate of inflation:

1. Russian sanctions that cut off much of the developed world from its much-needed natural resources (which is why so many people are eager to elect Trump, in hopes of normalizing those relations again).

2. Biden's stonewalling of domestic oil fracking/drilling projects to appease the environmentalist within the Democratic Party.

3. Biden's largely unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandates that stymied the hiring efforts of major employers, just as the country was emerging from the lockdowns.

Russia invaded a neighboring country....so the sanctions are 100% warranted and why would the US normalize relations with Russia until they retreat from Ukraine.

US oil companies produced more oil and gas than any other year EVER the last 24-36 months....

Companies did not hire because demand for goods cratered due to Trumps horrible Covid reaction and just the realities of dealing with Covid and its impact on production. For instance at one point the manufacturing plant I work at had over a third of our converting team out with covid or covid in their home. This curtailed our ability to produce putting us in a back log that took over a year to work out of.

Women are voting — and it’s driving MAGA men mad

With Election Day just around the corner, conservative influencers are openly fretting about women voting.

Russia sanctions are necessary for their illegal actions and genocide.

That's fine, but you can't have your cake & eat it too.

If one feels strongly that the Russian sacntions was necessary, they should also accept full responsibility for their unintended consequences, which is that they were a major contributor to the highest rate of inflation in over 40 years.

To point 2 we don't need their oil...

We're in a global oil market though.

The US itself may not have gotten oil from Russia, but our allies in Europe did. When they were cut off, that means they had to dip into a now much smaller pool of accessible oil elsewhere. Thus, prices ended up spiking for everyone, including Americans.

Point 3 I'm not sure I agree with in general as private companies set their own standards on hiring not the govt.

Did you forget when Biden attempted to abuse the authority of OSHA to force "private employers" to enfore vaccine mandates...?

Biden Orders Vaccination Mandates for Larger Employers, Federal Workforce

President Joe Biden announced Sept. 9 a series of proposals to combat the COVID-19 pandemic more aggressively, including plans for a new rule requiring employers with 100 or more employees to require their workers to be vaccinated or undergo weekly tests

Well sure, that was after the Biden administration got a clue in Summer 2022 that their stonewalling of domestic oil production was not sustainable when gas prices spiked over $4-$5/gallon due to their Russian sanctions...

But the damage was already done.

So would you agree with Cuban that trump going to MSB and Putin and getting them to reduce oil production was the start of the global inflation?

Sorry, but the actual numbers don't support Mark Cuban's crackpot theory.

Gas/oil prices had eventually level out at a point roughly where they were pre-COVID until early 2022 when the Russian sanctions were imposed.
