It is not "transitory' or caused by the pandemic. It is being caused by idiots in Washington. And it hurts already.

For most people it is, especially those who work for a living and those on fixed incomes. But Joe Biden doesn't care, he still thinks he is a truck driver, which he never has been, but his dementia says otherwise.

inflation is always a problem, but this one has been caused by the ignorant actions of Brandon's administration.

Vernon Taylor

Of course it is. Why even ask? To say otherwise is a suspension of disbelief. Such as to say we have a functioning president.

Eclectic come from the Greek: To select. Ancient philosophers who were relative in their thinking of doctrines. What library do you use? Work Cited. “Eclectic.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eclectic. Accessed 2 Dec. 2021.

Eclecticism is distinct from syncretism, the attempt to reconcile or combine systems, in that it does not attempt to resolve the contradictions between them. Therefore, to deny inflation exists, does not resolve the fact that it does in fact exist.

I'm saving that money for Utility bills and Gasoline. Thanks to Joe Brandon. I read where he had a nice Thanksgiving Dinner, while 160,000 military men and women are having trouble feeding their families. Go figure!

Why are 160,000 military people having trouble feeding their families?

Max

Adam, you wouldn't have the stones to say that to those military folks, not even to the ladies.

Adam Schrader

And those same 160,000 people would be in the same boat if Trump was in office. Wait, he thinks he is, so is his fault???
