Biden WH Refuses to Take Responsibility for Inflation, Says Companies Need to Lower Their Prices
 
Sarah Arnold
December 09, 2023 5:30 PM
 
Since President Joe Biden has taken office, Americans are struggling to pay bills and live paycheck to paycheck as prices for daily essentials continue to rise.
 

However, according to the White House, it is not Biden's fault for a failing economy, but rather companies for pricing their goods too high.

On Friday, White House National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard blamed Americans' current financial struggle on companies raising their prices, claiming they are confident with their wages.

NPR Co-host Ari Shapiro pointed out that Americans are unhappy with Biden's economy, saying inflation keeps worsening.

Why not simply implement price controls?

Inflation affects everybody. And the companies have to pass on that cost to their customers

They’re supposed to take a loss just because Biden tells them to

I remember how Democrats kicked and screamed when Reagan announced he was removing price controls on domestic oil.  Afterwards, the global price fell from $47/bbl down to $8/bbl.

Democrats call spend as many trillions of dollars on foreigners as they please because NeverTrumpers will shift as much of the blame as they can onto Trump.  Even though democrats spent the money to benefit our enemies, besides gibing out enemies fully outfitted Armies of ours.  That only happens because of the abundant amounts of village idiots that like being fools and =idiots willing to go along with such stupidity.  The NeverTrumpers even insist they never existed, what kinds of fools goes along with something like that, pretending the Trump/Biden election didn't exist they took such fanatical part in.  They frced on us this Biden WOKE utopia Biden insist isn't his fault at all.  Some times life is cruelly 'fair'.  The last three years is proof!

A topic of convenience for MAGA types, as the pot calling the kettle black.

Any slur they can hang on their opponents is fair to use... But they do not have (possess) the principles they claim to defend... as is entirely made evident when Dear Leader does the same dang thing.

If you cannot continue to give Biden a pass and blame Trump, your insane!  That level of political awhoring is somewhat impressive.  Trump began a healing of our economy and military and closing the southern border while returning jobs back from China.  Joe pumps enemy hostile nations full of our money and even handing over armies.  Note how his stooges find fault in Trump, giving a pass to Biden while lying saying it isn't so.
Not everyone is a blinded Biden stooge living on lies and deceit.
As the End Times is fulfilled, you shall receive your rewards.  Wailing and GNASHING YOUR TEETH IS ALREADY WRITTEN, IT WILL FAIL YOU.  Enjoy your eternal fates! Its only for forever!

Tumpy is not Messiah.

And if you read the Book, Yah is a big proponent of small, distributed government. Not empire, which he is decidedly against. Justifying your big government in opposition to Buydem's big government is false and stupid. It's the very same damnable government.

I just love his posts. It has references to fire, Satan, the end times, our judgment, all rolled into one. Whenever I see his screen name on a thread, I have to go read his posts to see how close the rest of us are burning in Hell

He is the best poster on this forum. I encourage him to continue. And even better are his Satan emojis and dumpster fire emojis

All the bitching and bawling about how bad everything is (because Biden is running things), but its all Trumps fault as to how bad things are.  They have institutions for people that need this extreme of therapy.  Should Biden secure another four years, they will bawl like a baby whose titty was taken away, only moreso.  You NeverTrumpers got you way Biden, because you could bawl like babies the whole time Biden is in office?  That's not what you said at Pres election time, nor even now!

Its called being able to see the big picture, and refusing to be a liar denier Woke stooge.  Its easy to see how you Woke love to attack like feral pack beast, and the cowardice of those that fear to get near them.  Their gutless response to aggressive feral WOKE attacks, even their wolves wearing sheeps clothing.

When it comes to deficit spending, there is zero difference between Biden and Trump.  They both suck.  Capisce?   No one here is giving Biden a pass.  We are holding both to the same standard.

Now contrast that with your position.  You seem to want to place all the blame on Biden when Trump ran up just as much debt.
