Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Honestly, back in 2022 it was the one thing that absolutely enraged me: Yellen and Biden both were pretending that the very high inflation was just a temporary effect and was going to vanish quickly.
It would have been the time to call attention to the reckless spending of the Trump administration, and the direct link to high inflation a year and two years later.
Instead, they denied the problem existed, and thus inherited it.
Nk, Biden said the inflation rate was stabilized, which was true. He got tje rate down to where it was before Covid. Anyone who was expecting prices to come back down was fooling themselves. Nobody ever said prices would regress.
Some inflation has been expected for a long time. For 20 years they controlled inflation with lower interest rates, until they were near zero, and there was no interest on savings accounts. Eventually that stops working, and inflation corrects. That's what happened after Covid, along with corporate greedflation and profit-gouging.
So much this. Biden (or his admin, I don't really care - even if we were to Weekend At Bernie's that shit for another whole term, I DGAF, as long as Biden was surrounded by capable people that have human emotions, unlike team taco) was trying to responsibly run this country, including the economy. Someone might take issue with the messaging or various nuances, and that's fine.
But when certain people kept saying the economy was terrible under Biden? WTAF? And taco keeps repeating it, LOL. It's a real up-is-down, black-is-white type of thing...while I watch things like seeing MS do mass layoffs I see taco and his admin talking about a new golden age for America. 🙄
