Those who want to blame President Joe Biden for all the inflation in this country need look no further than the Trump policies that were put in place and are still having a big impact on the United States. In fact, Trump and his insanity (especially during the pandemic in 2020) were fully backed by the Republican party, especially when they held power in both the U.S. House and Senate.
Trump and the republicans were the proponents of Saudi Arabia and all their affiliates cutting back oil production drastically and that impact is the chief reason for the rising gas prices in the last year (including price gouging by the major oil companies) since Joe Biden took office. It is a calculated effort to dupe the American people into getting so pissed off at the Democratic party in charge now because of the rising prices of gasoline and groceries, etc. Not to mention Trump's master Vladimir Putin and the Russian invasion of Ukraine contributing to rising oil prices as well.
It is a concerted effort by the Trump cronies to get back into power. Plain and simple.
My fellow Americans, you can be smarter than that.
Not to mention the compromised U.S. Supreme Court (with three Trump appointees on the bench) and the dark money shadow groups backing extreme right wing candidates that do the bidding of billionaires and corporations, the rest of us all be damned. The corporate controlled news media doesn't help either as they constantly still beat the drums for the conservatives in this country. Big money controls that message. Again, thanks to the SCOTUS and that asinine Citizens United case a decade ago.
A big problem is most people have very (VERY) short attention spans and are struggling to just make ends meet so they cannot get involved in the political scene. The republicans thrive on this and when they held the power when Trump was in office, they helped to create a huge deficit with the TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS four years ago.
Remember that people?
Put your brains to work and get that memory bank tuned in and remember that the REPUBLICANS caused the current national debt we have. Not to mention the January 6th coup attempt (no, it was not just a riot in Washington, D.C.) the republicans are still trying to cover up. The commission investigating the whole thing has been moving at a deliberate pace and it's hopeful the heat gets turned up fill tilt before the November elections.
In fact, the republicans embrace fascism and the MAGA Trump extremism that is a cancer on this country. They are using the same blue print that Hitler and his minions did in Germany nearly a century ago.
Be careful what you wish for Joe Biden detractors. You will not like the final outcome if your wishes do come true.
Point is too many people blame the wrong people for the problems in this country and the republicans in Congress (see Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy) do all they can to stall and squash any chances for real solutions the Democrats attempt to get going to give us some relief. Well, don't hold your breath on any of that changing as McConnell (Moscow Mitch as he is also known) keeps bloviating about how President Biden is responsible for the inflation. However, INFLATION IS AND HAS BEEN A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM since the pandemic two years ago.
We bitch and moan about gas being over five bucks a gallon when it's nearly double that price in Europe and all other parts of the world.
If republicans gain control of the House and/or Senate this election cycle, things will most definitely get way worse for we, the 99 percent of the country's population.
Count on it.
So get out there and VOTE . . . Vote the Republican bums out!
Don't say you weren't warned.
PREACH Jim!!!!!
