  1. Capitalists, it's Capitalists, those Millionaires, and Billionaires who can't afford to lose $10,000 a year in stocks and salaries by utilizing Price reductions! The Capitalist fallacy!

  2. HOW ARE REPUBLICANS GOING TO HELP ECONOMICS IF ALL THEY DO IS GIVE OUR MONEY TO THE RICH WITH TAX CUTS❓‼ THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS EXCEPT TO TAKE AWAY RIGHTS AND SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE β€Ό

  3. I don’t know who need to hear this but stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial freedom

  4. Conald gave them all kickbacks and tax breaks. They've been spoiled.
    Plus, DJTrash botched the pandemic and loves pootan.
    I believe that when putin and trump had their meeting with no note taker they made a deal with one another.
    If rotten John t lost the election then pootan would start a war to make it difficult for Biden and the rest of the world.

    This is not Biden's fault.
    He was handed this mess.

    The Russian Republicans have no ideas or a plan.

  5. The President Joe Biden Does Not Control Inflation and Did Not Strangle Our Economy Pursuing 100% Green New Deal Like Stopping A Keystone Pipeline That Only Goes Under the US From Canada to Mexico and Is Not Ours. And Our Trillions of New Dollars are Helping Ukraine And Us At The Same Time.

  6. The federal reserve shoulders the majority of the blame. China zero covid +Russia/Nato war also contributing factors. Those blaming putin solely for inflation need their head bonking. Inflation was around endemically before 2022.

  7. Katie Porter reports that half of current inflation is due to corporate profit taking. Fuel prices are obviously globally high because of Russia and Saudi Arabia colluding to constrain supply.

  8. μ „μŸν•˜λŠ” ν‘Έν‹΄κ³Ό 치맀 바이든을 λΉ„λ‚œν•΄λΌ, λ…μž¬μž 푸틴이 λ°‰μ§€λ§Œ κ·Έλž˜λ„ μ „μŸκ·ΈμΉ˜κ³  μ—λ„ˆμ§€ 가격 λ‚΄λ¦¬λŠ”κ²Œ 급선무닀

  9. Nationally, inflation is high on food and gas because of Corporations. They impose high prices on us because they can and there is no one to rein them in for it. By virtue of being in power why this happens, President Biden and the Democrats are being made scapegoats for something that they have no control over globally. Nationally, they can, but their efforts were being blocked repeatedly by Republican opposition out of spite in fear of Democrats getting a win.

  10. I wish they made micro and macroeconomics mandatory in high school because this is really quite simple. Changes in Economic policies take 18 months to find their into the system. Therefore, this train wreck started with the policies of the trump administration. Economic policy changes do not make an impact with the flip of a switch. Sit down, shut yoyr mouth and Educate yourself. take the course worjs in microeconomics macroeconomics. Get real with yourself about what you do not understand.

  11. Please never never blame the racist old white man in the White House please don't pick on old people who cannot think move or control their bowel movements this is so unfair never been the Democrat never blame the racist old white man in the White House Blaine Donald Trump blame Donald Trump blame Donald Trump blame Donald Trump blame Donald Trump blame Donald Trump

  12. Russia, America, Ukraine are crazy people in the war in Ukraine. These famous people in the fields of music, sports, religion, literature, education …. please raise your voice to demand an end to the war in Ukraine because it hurts the whole world because of economic difficulties. and the danger of nuclear war

  13. One has to remember that a vast swath of American voters are seriously undereducated and thus credit the current administration when the economy is good and blame them when things are not so good. Government policy, if sustained, will have an effect on the long term economy of a country but almost never have much of a short term effect.
