    You counteract inflation by making sure people’s wages also change to reflect the new value of the dollar. Which they haven’t.

    Prices don’t come down unless you enter a period of deflation. And if you thought inflation sucked, deflation sucks even more. Especially for a nation of people who hold a lot of debt. As the value of current grows, so does the value of your debt. If you have debt, your debt burden increases.

    So, he’s not even in office and already squirming out of his promise…

    Did not even wait for his throne to be able to uphold he tried something.

    Perhaps he’ll say he had a concept of a plan but it was bad.

    He didn’t so anything of the sort. Does no one read the articles?

    And the article reads like a Trump endorsement. Those quotes will sound great to your average American without context.

    Oh look, the well-known con artist that you voted for in hopes that he would not con you has conned you! What a surprise!

      Right. Dingus probably has zero idea of not only how inflation works, but how the price gouging was being done by elites and being blamed on “inflation”.

        Sounds like a woke conspiracy to run cars on air just to take jobs away from blue-collar oil and gas workers. Coal-rolls away in a lifted F-350 with aftermarket Cybertruck style headlights

      Stop blaming the voters and start blaming the democrats for being completely dogshit at selecting popular candidates and running an engaging campaign.

          Keep on acting like that. I’m sure it will do wonders in attracting more voters and winning elections :-). Democrats lost to the couch, not to trump. People are apathetic to their milquetoast neoliberalism.

          Like look. You were up against moronic hitler and you lost. Thats says more about you than the voters.

            Maybe you just need to come to terms with this is what the electorate wanted. I’m sure you can find something wrong with any candidate the Dems put on the ticket but the choices this last election were clear on differences and we saw how that turned out.

              There’s plenty of evidence of voter suppression and election interference, plus the fact that bullet ballots were like 500% higher in only swing states than every other election in history.

              I’m not sure we can definitively say that this is what the electorate wanted.

        Oof true but Lemmy doesn’t want to hear that. The “Beatings will continue until you vote for Wall Street’s Candidate” crowd hit Lemmy hard during the campaign and they convinced a lot of people that it was the voter’s fault if Democrats lost.

          But there’s only one that can be changed. You have to meet voters where they’re at. You can’t just constantly wish that they’ll pick the boring corporate centrist democrats keep pushing forward.

        I say we blame both. People that abstained, voted 3rd party, voted for Trump out of spite, etc. deserve their share of the blame for allowing the absolute worst president in history to have a second term. The DNC is to blame for running a campaign and candidates so milquetoast that people felt the desire to protest vote. Both things are true.

    As a matter of fact, grocery store prices will likely become far worse because of his tariffs and deportation policies.

    It’s always the opposite with this cotton-headed ninny-muggins.

      I love that we treat politics as team sports. Even the use of the word opponent implies you aren’t working toward common goals.

        that’s just the thing comservatives turned the entire system into game “us vs them” and liberal joimed in a bit later as they lack the capacity to redefine the game. Progressives get shunned by their respective wings and orthodoxy gets entrenched making it even more of “us vs them”. I’d love to find a way to abolish parties and force representatives to actually represent all people from their electorate area… but I’m a dreamer.

        They stopped working together decades ago.

        They now work exclusively for their corporate overlords. The rest is a dog and pony show for the voters.
