Who do voters blame for inflation, especially at the gas pumps? It’s not Vladimir Putin, and they don’t chalk it up to “corporate greed” either. A pair of new polls identify who gets the blame for inflation and how much it will occupy voters in eight months — and again two years later, Fed chair Jerome Powell suggested yesterday.
We’ll get back to that projection at the end. The more significant of the polls comes from Emerson, whose polling has been a bit kinder to Joe Biden on job approval. He gets a 43/49 overall from Emerson, a slight improvement over last month’s 42/50. Among independents,

Hope Joe doesn’t last 3 years and he is impeached.

The Seinfeld-esque headline was good for a chuckle. And who are these idiots, FTA: "...8% said his {Biden's) actions have cut inflation." I think we know who they are.

This is much worse than Jimmie Carter. He was just incompetent. Joe and the boys are out to destroy our country and take it over.

Powell said. “I believe these policy actions and those to come will help bring inflation down near 2% over the next three years.”
Dems are always saying "The sun will come out tomorrow!" or at least it will stop raining. The problem is, their "tomorrow" promises never seem to arrive. Remember BO's promises that the economy would improve and unemployment would come down? Those promises went throughout his 8 years as president and NEVER significantly came true. Yes, things agonizingly slowly improved because creative American businesses found out how to get around some of BO's impediments to growth.
Then Trump came in and things vastly improved in the blink of an eye. How stupid and deluded are the Americans that cannot see the reality that dem policies are destructive to America and Trump's/Republican's approach is good for ALL Americans.
Dems have lied for decades and have only gotten bolder in their lies as media solidified their support of progressive policies. We are living through yet ANOTHER lesson that this is true. How many times do Americans need to be hit on the head with the dem rock before we take it away from them, hopefully permanently?

It will last until a Republican is seated in the Oval Office (and will likely continue even then if it is a Mitt Romney type Republican).

Gas prices and inflation are deliberate .
It isn't an accident, nor is it necessary, but it is deliberate.

Gas prices started rising within 48 hours of TaliBiden being declared the winner. He campaigned on destroying the oil industry and they took note. I don’t blame them one bit and I’m sure that the thousands of people who lost their jobs on 1/20/21 don’t either. Supply and demand trumps everything else. They know it and the TaliBiden cabal knows it too.

Real people poll Joe at rock bottom. The democrats have to do some tricky timing on revealing the contents of the laptop so they can ditch his hairy arse without affecting the election even more. I don't think he will be there in November.
The inflation will not take two years to be cured when enough people start waiting them out.

Gee, lets see, they are saying 3 more years. Well, what happens then. Oh, I get it, the Biden disaster ends and hopefully adults will be running this country again. But, how much damage will have been done and how much time will it take to recover. That's the real question. Got it...l

Gee, ya think? If inflation were measured by 1982 standards, the inflation rate would be 15% and getting worse. This of course could be changed, but those running the country don't want anything to change. The oil cutoff and virus mandates were put in place for a reason. Control and power with the goal of reducing the influence of the U.S. on the world stage. I wonder what past president stated this as a goal about ten years ago?

This inflation has many fathers, although only one gets named. The USA has spent countless TRILLIONS over the past decades, mostly money it didn't/doesn't have. National debt is $30 TRILLION and growing. It was a mere $252,060,821,088 when Reagan left office...chump change by today's standards. Today it stands at $30,336,463,391,216 and growing.
Yeah, it's all Biden's fault...let's support NATO, go to war in Ukraine, maybe back into Afghanistan, open that border wider...free shtuff for everyone!
