No inflation last month

Im not saying ACA curbed soending. The point was neither party does what they campaign on when they have control of all three. The notable exception was the ACA when the Dems had complete control.
Some deflation is good. For example, electronic prices have decreased rather than increased over the years. The 75-inch flat panel TV we have was about $3000 when I bought it and now I could get a larger one for less than a thousand. Prices of certain commodities go up and down too. These are good kinds of "deflation." However, general deflation is almost always a sign of a tanking economy and increasing unemployment. I mistyped with I said it would tank the economy, what I meant is that it's usually a sign of a tanking economy.

I was giving you a hard time. I blow enough smoke up your a#% about being a liberal, so I should have refrained.
A couple points. I’d argue deflation is a good thing and a sign of a healthy economy. Decreasing prices is obviously good and getting rid of misallocated capital is also good.
My post was poorly worded - sorry about that. Biden inherited a cratered economy left from over from Trump primarily caused by COVID. His slow response to COVID was complicit in the hit our economy took.
Sorry. Not spending 30 to 40k to get a new car that was in the 20's befir dipsht took office. Anything less is just buying junk. I'll stick to my v8 tundra that is 18 years old and has 222k miles on it. Cheap az Tesla cars raised their prices since dipsht's regime offer up tax credits for EV's. Car manufactures love when govts offer tax credits so they raise their prices. Solar panel industry loves it. They raise the prices, take the tax credits off the top then roll them into some loan.
Don't opt for a new Tundra for a while. Sounds like nothing but problems over the last couple years with engines and some transmissions.
OrMight I suggest:
Imagine Marv and his wife cruising southern Indiana. Mark and his wife in the back. Mark with a heater hangin out the window. Trolling sonic parking lots
Yes there has been a lot of emotion in market prices so far this week.
I personally don’t a 6 handle on oil.
if the biden administration is talkin it's lyin. no different than these chicks today. and i don't mean whatever these bumpkins and nerds on this board end up with, body counts of 3, 4, 2, but i mean chicks that are in play. that are in high demand. ask them their body count. cut it and half and double it? no sir. 5x. minimum.

Trump is ready to really pump up the inflation. And of course he is lying about. Or maybe he just doesn’t understand basic economics. Both are equally plausible.
Neither of them know shit from shinola when it comes to this stuff.

Of course I’m taking golf, not drinks or women. Duh
He’s going to stop inflation and reduce prices 50% on day one. Right after he makes the down payment for new home buyers of course.
Now does he sound better?

Is that deflation or the market working correctly? Years ago you had to cut off your right arm to get a VCR. Then they got pretty cheap because companies were making lots of them, got more efficient in making them, and the demand was spread out enough that to make a smaller profit on a lot of VCRs was a great deal for the consumer and the company making them.
Politics and economics have become entirely divorced from each other. We are doomed no matter who wins.
