I responded because you used my post to reply to. If you are speaking to the group then speak to the group, don't grab my post and expect me not to reply. idiot.

If you are answering for yourself, you use the identifier "I". When you are speaking on behalf of yourself plus others, you say "we".
If you are going to attempt to insult another person's intelligence, you might want to improve your language skills beyond a third grade level. Maybe work on your math skills, too.

Who should we have patted on the back when Biden took office and when prices rose nearly 20%? His YOY inflation of 5.2% and in 2022 of 9.1% was the highest in 40 years. Since 2022 the Fed has raised interest rates 11 times but inflation remained 2% above the Fed's target. Yes, we should have patted him on the back... with a ball bat.

You could pat Trump on the back for having a recession that the economy needed to recover from?
Hate to tell you, but after riding steady for years, inflation doubled when Trump took office, and held (save for the recession).
Are you patting him on the back for it?

"His YOY inflation" suggests it was 5.2% for his term. It wasn't. So, stop getting your info from memes.

And since we want to look at increases, let's look at wage increases by year. Only 3 years in, the cumulative wage increase under Biden is 18.64%. In a full 4 years, it was only 13.65% under Trump.
Seems Trump was really slacking since he never even broke 4% per year.

Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

People like you think because you don't get your way and you lost the White House that you have to resort to spreading hate, fear, propaganda or smearing people. When the cost of fuel comes down it cost less to transport goods, cost of goods can come down. When we are importing less energy, cost of goods can come down. When we are manufacturing more here, cost of goods can come down. There are many ways to offset tariffs Rob.

"Don't get your way"?
You mean like attempting a coup at the Capitol to prevent the electoral vote from happening?
Pretty short memory, kid.

Tell me all about the "many more ways to offset tariffs", and why they couldn't be used to offset other cost increases.

Tell me more about "when we are importing less energy". What is Trump going to do in order to produce more energy here? Drilling leases went UP under Biden.
Do you think Trump is going to assume control of the privately-owned energy sector, and increase supply in order to reduce prices and profits? Or do you think he will halt importing oil?

As for "more manufacturing here", employment in the mfg sector dropped while he was POTUS, with the decline starting well before the pandemic. Mfg jobs increase under Biden and are higher than they ever were under Trump.
What makes you confident he's going to create manufacturing jobs THIS time around?

Let's flip that microscope around Rob... tell us, what would YOU do for America? How would YOU make America better?

You're projecting. I'm not the one who brought up "take care of America" as an alternative to helping our allies. That was you, and you have yet to tell us YOUR plan, other than not sending help to the Ukraine.

My plan would probably be hundreds if not thousands of pages, but would be a pyramidal approach, with the top of the pyramid being a goal of improving life for as many citizens as possible.
The next level would be identifying the metrics that affect people's lives the most, and that the administration can affect the most (income, safety, education, unity, are some heavy hitters).
The next might be assembling a vetted team of advisors with proved track records, who can then work on building the administration with similarly vetted individuals who are experts in their particular field.


I would not pick anyone simply because I saw them on TV and they said something positive about me.

Racist much?

Not at all. I've never met SpeedChaser.
Have you?

You should stfu. I got my information from the same place you did moron.

So your plan isn't a plan but rather a plan on how you would make a plan. Like I thought, you are brainless.

Come on Rob, tell me how the facts I posted from the same site you used for your facts is wrong some how. Come on you hypocritical jackass.

Or you can learn the language, and not use the moniker "WE" to respond in the first person.
Who is "we"? You have a frog in your pocket?

This is late November. We are at an average of 4.9% per year for his administration, with an average wage increase per year of 6.21% (2021-2023). That means wage increases outpaced inflation, despite Biden inheriting an economy in the shitter.

Now before you make a dozen more posts trying to push the questions into the background:
What is YOUR plan to "take care if America" other than refusing to assist our allies. (Like Trump attempted in order to coerce Kiev to help him the last time he ran for POTUS).

Tell me all about the "many more ways to offset tariffs", and why (the "many more ways") they couldn't be used to offset other cost increases.

Have you had a chance to dig up the scientific proof of a god yet?

Why are you arguing??? I used the same site as you. You are arguing against the same information you could have posted but you are arguing because you are that much of a bitter liberal asshat.

Nope but I don't try to call people on the sly like that either...

You seem to be fishing for something, but it's not at all apparent.
He said he bought a Latinos for Trump shirt. I asked if he is Latino.

Your response indicates you have assumptions about him and his purpose for posting that.
What are your assumptions?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

STFU crybaby. WE all want you to STFU!

Ahhh, you and your frog typing again.
Or do you have your babysitter helping you, and NEITHER of you can support what you say, and it's frustrating you both?

No Rob I just know how you are...

I don't care about what nationality someone is. That's not what makes someone a decent person or not

Listen bigot, what if I identify as "we"? Exactly now stfu.

To vote for Trump. Ahh, I have succeeded with MY plan. Now it is up to Trump.

Tell me why you are such an argumentative and negative person. You are so damn bitter about everything.

Where's your proof?

I am still trying to figure out why you come to a car audio forum to bash the right under the guise of political discussions. Why is that RobGMN?
