Will someone please tell Republicans...

..inflation is global?


But the U.S. is hardly the only place where people are experiencing inflationary whiplash. A Pew Research Center analysis of data from 44 advanced economies finds that, in nearly all of them, consumer prices have risen substantially since pre-pandemic times.

They do not like the foothold democracy was beginning to make...beginning with the Arab spring. We all saw what happened there when the winner wasn't who the "powers" wanted.

If some family in another continent is experiencing trouble paying for everyday items, that doesn’t bring comfort to someone here in the USA. “We’re all in the same boat “ doesn’t mean much to someone who’s focused on feeding, sheltering, and clothing their own family.

One country's ability to fight it. That it's not about government policy as the rwnjs want to make it, but about factors beyond a government's control, and certainly beyond one party's power to control.

It helps because it means Ds can turn around and ask the rwnjs to put up or shut up with how they would deal with a GLOBAL problem, rather than merely slinging mud. Force them to talk about what they will DO other than cut taxes on the rich, which won't help with the problem.

So they say. That Biden dude is sure powerful if he can cause inflation to be a problem globally.
