I wonder what my distant uncle who said Trump made him richer would think about this. I think he was referring to the three tiny stimulus checks he got during the pandemic. Oh well, he voted for this.
Those three fucking checks are why we’re here in the first place. It added trillions in debt to us, gave people “free” money during a time of low rates, and then put in place the giant rubber-band that is inflation because when you have that much money suddenly injected in the market capitalism dictates that you raise prices since people can afford it.
I was saying this is going to fuck us when trump did them the first time and yet still people act like Biden is the one that put us here.
Yeah it was those three checks, and not the massive block and categorical stimulus to states and corporations that dwarfed those up to 10x in size (and actually led to a fairly soft landing post Covid.)
Get this shit lib stuff out of here. And you’re not even that good at it. From a shit lib perspective, those actually made the situation not so bad. Trumps trade wars, foreign policy and gestapo are why we are here today. Full stop.
You sound like a confused paint eating MAGA
$800b in personal stimulus>4-5T in corporate and government stimulus, per you… wtaf
Never said those other things aren’t what helped get us here. That’s why I gave the broader number of trillions and not just billions.
Also, you’re calling me a MAGA when you’re the one actively defending a trump policy and decision… I’ve got two years of profile history that shows I’m not MAGA, you’ve been on here 5 days.
When you give out “free” money whether to people or to corporations and you don’t continue it and only do it as a one time you effectively create inflation. Lots of people NEEDED money during the pandemic, and I’m not against that. It’s the culmination of multiple government hand outs to people and corporations with no active thought put into what they’re trying to do that creates a loaded system.
It’s a fucking comment thread my dude. I’m not diving in with whole ass articles and a research paper just to make some fucking thread noob happy because he think I’m someone I’m not.
Where did I defend a Trump policy? I implied Biden led us to a soft landing…
And yeah sure you are blaming the individuals and not the massive corps who received literally 10x the amount of stimulus as your corporate buddies.
And maybe you’re playing a long astroturfed game? Who knows. Doesn’t make your view any more relevant or factual.
And you’re right, you said the checks are what led us here, and the other 4.2 trillion “helped” that 800 billion raise inflation… oooookaaay budddyyy.
It added closer to 800 billion-ish, not trillions.
But I agree with some of the wider points.
Yeah no mention to massive block and categorical grants to states to make up for the 43% loss in revenue. But $1800 (800b) caused it. And not the trade wars, gestapo ICE or tariffs.
Gtfoh with this shit
