VIDEO: Axios CEO Inhales Inflation Hopium for Democrat Comeback

[pjcomix]

Remember when the liberals were rejoicing in early Spring when they were oh so sure that President Trump's tariffs would cause high inflation, tank the economy, and bring a downfall of the Trumpocalypse? Well, much to their great disappointment, that Hopium scenario did not play out especially as inflation continued to fall. However, they haven't given up. Jim VandeHei, the CEO of Axios, has inhaled another strong dose of Hopium and is now predicting a big rise in inflation resulting in the downfall of MAGA. And when this latest round of Hopium does not pan out, I am sure VandeHei and his fellow liberals will be back in a few months with a new, improved dose of Hopium.

The great thing about free markets and private enterprise - they adapt and they innovate.

Supply chains will be re-adjusted to the post-tariff least expensive providers.

Businesses will use capital investment and technology to reduce head count and increase efficiency.

One way to fight inflation is with increased productivity.  Increased productivity is a concept Government offiicials and academics can't grasp.

Has inflation really not risen though?

Poo pooing voters economic anxieties are what cost the Democrats in 2024 and the GOP and Trump are  doing the same

All might be true.  But maybe not.

[LMAO]

Nobody should ever kid themselves that a Bernie Sanders or an AOC type progressive could never win a presidential election especially if Trump remains unpopular and voters still are sour on the economy in 2028

Not everybody thinks he is as bad as you do.

Not everybody thinks he is as bad as you do.

That doesn't change the validity of his point.

[LMAO]

Not everybody thinks he is as bad as you do.

I have no idea what that means

But dismissing people‘s economic anxieties or telling them the economy is booming and inflation is no longer a problem when voters see things differently in their own lives is a sure path to election defeat.

And I don’t care how unpopular the opposition party is. The Republican Party was very unpopular at this point in 2009 yet they swamped the House of Representatives in the 2010 midterms because the Democrats ignored or made fun of their angry town hall constituents over concerns over Obamacare and excessive government spending
