1ºJon Mann I understand the American economy affects the whole world, something you don't seem to get. If we were to drill and frack for oil and gas, we could supply Europe with it. If we had kept on doing that and not shown a very weak front with our disastrous retreat from Afghanistan Putin would have never moved into Ukraine.
I know your worship of the Democrats won't allow you to see reality. You will claim Trump, even now is the cause of all the world's problems, but Mr. Mumbles has no control over them, or the border. Yet you will say he is doing better to control them than anyone ever has.
The doublethink is working great in you.
2ºLol!!! Jack there you are again, calling people liar when it is you who make generalization on your argument. Again, it has a lot of factors why the feds has to increase interest rate. It is to slow down the economy (you are partially correct) but you forgot to mention that the feds has to do that in order to avoid recession. Overheating economy expand in an unsustainable rate. Sharp rise in prices makes the supply allocation ineffective due to overproduction of producers in an attempt to make more wealth. You mentioned earlier that you have a “manufacturing company” I assume you understand what I’m taking about. Inefficient supply allocation plus inflation unfortunately hinders economic growth which btw one sign of looming recession. Another causes of overheating economy are asset bubbles and EXTERNAL ECONOMIC SHOCK ( I intentionally bolded it to make you pay attention better before you call people liar lol!!) Example of external economic shock is the oil shock that occurs when Murderer Putin (who Trump called a “genius”) invaded Ukraine . I told you, study wold economic first before you keep spewing your uneducated ideas here lol!!! Did you know that interests rates in the US economy influences global economy in general? So please stop acting as if we are the only one facing this issue right now. I think you owe Wendy an apology for calling her names lol!!! I can go on and on to educate your a.. However, I doubt that you wants to learn. Churchill once said “ A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject”. I rest my case!!
3ºDiane—and our economic energy policies were affected by all the above mentioned factors . . . just like the rest of the world — since Global pandemics, manufacturing, supply chain, oil/gas pricing, and geopolitics are not controlled by us — and we are the biggest ‘free world’ economy, we should have felt the reverberations the hardest — but we didn’t & we were able to recover through 2021-present better than most. Oil & Gas is not controlled by us (price gouging by O&G Conglomerates and politics has affected those prices). Which is why the transition to alternative energies is so important for energy independence AND to lessen environmental impact (which we are already seeing/feeling across the globe).
4ºJack Keller and sorry uneducated fanatic, 150 years ago is totally different from today due to many factors. Manufacturing is one of them. US exported more machineries and goods back then compared today. Bet you do not know that. I don’t have to argue with you. Know your basic economics first and study how global economy works before and today. Don’t forget to read how significant geopolitics to economics too. When you do that come back here and argue with me lol. And BTW, if am a liar you and your orange idol are the fathers of all liars. Lol!!!
5ºJack Keller and your point is? What kind of manufacturing company do you have? Are you saying that the ongoing war right now did not affect the global economy? You pointed out how gas affects economy, you were partly correct (I have to give you that lol) but you forgot to mention that geopolitics affect that gas price profoundly recently. You are so focus of that one piece of the of the puzzle and completely ignore the whole picture lol. Your claim being an owner of a “manufacturing company” is irrelevant on the factors that affect global economy btw. Try again Mr. fanatic lol!!
6ºSteven Picco lol Biden wasn't president for 47 years and I thought our Republican party stated he did nothing during those 47 years. Yes the dollar is stronger world wide but the realistic view is Bidens administration yet inflation caused the dollar as the world's leading currency to become more larger yet take the current prices on consumer goods and in foreign countries the use of dollar on the product is maybe 10 to 20 cents higher in price from under Trumps administration. Simple to research. Egg =22 cent in 2019 egg equals 21 cents in 2022 in Turkey. Doll ar in 2019 was 5.4 to the US Dollar now its 18.2 to the dollar. Eggs went way up due to inflation. Equals after spending dollar slightly 2 cents more.
7ºPatrick Henry
I’m not willing to ruin our environment anymore they made some choices.
Energy production in the US is an at an all-time high there are thousands and thousands of unused leases but the energy companies know they can make more money by lowering production
So unless you’re advocating nationalizing oil gas and other energy sectors it is clear you are clueless about economics
Donald Trump is the one that surrendered in Afghanistan. He refused to allow the Afghan government into the discussions and Fried 5000 Taliban terrorists. Put a firm timeline on withdrawal. President Biden oversaw the largest airlift in world history
So you’re clueless about national security military affairs economics in life in general you’re sad pathetic angry white man who’s probably also an in cell

8ºDaniel E Kropp Gas prices are still $4 a gallon. Oh geez thanks for the midterm break! Its coming down because he is releasing 1 million barrels of our SOR a day for the last 2.5 months, which is really dumb. That will all stop after midterms and prices will skyrocket again. Our SOR is at the lowest level in over 40 years so he cant keep it up. Nothing but a ploy for votes. He wont be able to do it again in 2024. You guys should want him to be able to run for president. He is the only chance you guys have in 2 years. You just cant defend what this administration has done to the country in 2 short years!
9ºJon Mann So sending more money to Ukraine than we spent in Afghanistan in the first five years with no oversight is stopping Putin? Why is he destroying Ukraine and the European economy?
We need to stop being police to the world. You, as too many are falling for the ruse of R v D. I see how the Bushes were almost as bad as Mr. Mumbles and helped lead us to him.
I want someone like Trump who understood we can't be Team America/World Police.
Anyhow sending all of our money to other nations doesn't help Americans one bit.
If nothing else, let us keep our money. I'll bet we could straighten things out quickly.
10ºChris Bass contrary to what the right wing media amd the MAGA crown has been spouting , Trump did very little to improve things foe most Americans. He coasted for the first two years on Obama's economic momentum then handed out nearly $2 trillion in corporate welfare while grossly mismanaging the pandemic. The GLOBAL economic fallout from the pandemic clued with the upset in the oil market caused by the stoppage of Russian oil flow into the market and Saudi price gouging has affected nearly every country's economy.
You can't blame any of this on anything Biden has done ..
