Yes, Biden Deserves Blame For Inflation

BY: DAVID HARSANYI - JUNE 01, 2022

 

Joe Biden has written an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal detailing his plan to fight inflation.

Well, perhaps the word "detailing" is too generous.  The preponderance of the column features Biden taking credit for economic growth that can be attributed to the reopening of the economy that was shuttered by the governing class during Covid.  [...]

In some other boards, there are many more Biden apologists toeing the "Putin" response, and trying to defend Biden.  It is quite laughable, and though I agree the President (and his advisors) is not completely to blame for inflation, but as Mr. Harsanyi points out, their policies certainly helped.  I keep hearing the Administration touting the unemployment numbers, I guess they think we are not smart enough to understand that unemployment is a lagging indicator.  If inflation continues to grow, there will be an economic slowdown that will come with job losses.

 

Anyway, I doubt the new WH spokesperson has any real answers in her binder.

I doubt that she has much of a clue about anything at all.

Biden's war on fossil fuels (and our way of life)  is driving a LOT of the inflation....and non-stop creation of money by the dems is also to blame.....yes, I blame him and the extremists in his administration for inflation.

Buy yerself an EV!

Hybrid time.

Yep.  I was just playfully pondering an EV and running the numbers.  Daughter is picking up her new Tesla Y today.  Girl that works for me has two Teslas in her family.  Stepdaughter has one on order.  Other friends have them on order.   Won't be giving up my newish SUV,  but the wife has a smaller luxury car we use daily for 10,000 mi/year.  It gets about 28 mpg for our daily use.  

 

Running the numbers @ $5 and $6 per gallon of gas for a $50k-$65k Tesla just doesn't make sense.  If I were to buy a new car, it would be a loaded top of the line Camry hybrid that gets better than 45 mpg, and still have a bundle of money left over to buy gas.

 

Just my opinion.

 

But it seems Camry Hybrids are not currently available in my area.  No problem.  I can wait.

I have about 10 months left on my lease.  With availability at an all time low and prices at an all time high, I'm just going to pay the residual and keep what I have for a few more years.  #LGB

Just about everything we got coming is pre sold. You probably going to have to wait until allocation hits then put down a deposit and wait. If you are waiting for one to hit the lot unsold, that is not going to happen. You should have some dealers around you with some hybrid Camrys in allocation. Probably will not find an XLE. Many are charging over sticker. For sure not going to find one below sticker. I know we got hybrid RAV4 in allocation I sold one yesterday at MSRP. They wanted a discount. LOL

 

Most dealers are going to make you finance thru Southeast Toyota with an interest rate around 5%. Dont worry about that, just do it and refinance thru your credit union or pay it off as soon as your first payment is due. I hate having to make customers do that. 

 

The new ice edge color in Camry is sharp. I am prejudice but if I was buying a hybrid Toyota for sure. We been doing it a long time. Battary warranty is 10 year 150K, hybrid component warranty is 8 year 100K.

 

For a point a to point b car the hybrid corolla get around 50 mpg at MSRP is around 26ish
