Not from the "this is Biden's economy!" people.

Well no, sorry that's a mistake on my part. They're still blaming Biden.

Seriously. It could be Trumps last year in office and they will still say "this is how bad Senile Joe and his demoncrat buddies fucked up the market. We need at least another 4 years to fix this mess!"

What happened to the “inherited economy” everyone likes to spew

1

u/polchickenpotpie 28d ago

You mean the inherited economy that had low unemployment, stable markets and a stabilized inflation that was still lower than what the rest of the world had post Covid?

What a horrible economy that was!

Are you kidding me? The inflation that increased more than all history together in 3 years?

I know reading is hard so I posted it again.

The entire world had high inflation post Covid because of the supply chain disruption. Neither Trump, Biden nor any world leader can change that. Except in the US, we experienced the lowest inflation percentage compared to every other G7 country. This is a fact, I'm sorry that it doesn't match what you were told to think.

Stabilized 😂😂

Yes, inflation stabilizes and it doesn't go down. It's always either going up, or flattening at whatever a government wants it to be at (2% for us). If it goes down below that, it means we're back in 2008 and you lost your house.

You're never seeing those pre-Covid prices Trump promised you, just like we're never seeing pre-2008 prices. Sorry he lied to you, he can't fix or reverse inflation 🤷‍♂️

So what percentage did inflation increase BEFORE it’s stabilized lol

https://www.investopedia.com/inflation-rate-by-year-7253832#:~:text=While%20the%20United%20States%20has,end%2Dof%2Dyear%20data.

"While the United States has experienced a relatively low and stable inflation rate since the 1980s, inflation hit record highs in 2021 and 2022 in the wake of the pandemic. The year-over-year inflation rate was 7.0% at the end of 2021 and 6.5% at the end of 2022. At the end of 2023, it was 3.4%. At the end of 2024, it was 2.9%."

Once inflation stabilized, that meant that prices weren't going to continue soaring like they were during those 2 years. Inflation is supposed to be around 2-3% right now, at least that's where the Feds wanted it. It's not supposed to be 0 or less than that. Look at the chart to see when it went below 0, I'm sure you know what happened those years.

This is a comparison between countries. Everyone got hit hard, we just didn't get it as bad comparatively as others.

Okay and? Who was president?

1

u/polchickenpotpie 28d ago

Do you still not understand that inflation went up because of the supply chain being fucked up post-Covid and no president anywhere could do anything about that? Do I need to use less words for your Trump addled brain to understand?

If it was Trump there was nothing he could have done and the jump wouldn't have been directly his fault.

Driving inflation to record highs by printing more money than existed in all history previously in 2 years. Saying that it “stabilized” for a period shorter than 2 years after record inflation and price increases is a huge stretch. I don’t even like Trump and what you’re saying is ridiculous

u/XanadontYouDare Mar 07 '25

Just, not a peep from the people he was talking about.

u/garnett8 Mar 07 '25
