Well, for starters: the president that you voted for said it - several times. The congressional leaders have all said it. And, the implication of approving and supporting all of the federal expansion through one's posts is an implicit belief that only the federal government can fix this.

I have you pegged for something, but again I'll keep my personal opinion of YOU to myself.
ADDED: Are insults now allowed? Guess the report post button is about as useless as the mods here, or am I not in the proper clique here to get an insult deleted? Guess I'm allowed to insult people as well? This place and it's cliques are quite amusing, it's worse than fuckin high school here.

Clearly, I hurt your feelings and I apologize for that. I retract calling you a moron. You simply type moronic statements.

Inflation is down under Obama. Didn't the right wingers claim his policies were going to cause inflation to go through the roof? There is still a chance for that to happen but it hasn't happened yet. Why is that? |
Although not a right winger, I will say that no one that I know of has implied that inflation would occur instantaneously. However, you can not inject trillions of dollars into the system, monetize your debt, and then not have inflation. The inflation will occur once the economy starts having growth. Another indicator would be the price of gold. Granted, there is DEFINITELY a fear-based "gold bubble", but not all of the increased price is that bubble. Some of it is genuine loss in buying power of the dollar. You can also see the weakening of the dollar on the world scene. This is due to the world's belief that the dollar will be "worth less" soon - another indicator that inflation is coming.
