Quote HistoryQuoted: There was an excellent documentary in the 80s about how to deal with Russians invading your country. We should have sent them several copies beyond that nothing else. Yeah, you join nato before the war, hope you’re not next to Russia, and align with the west. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: After 200 billion, if you're losing the war it's because you're a loser. Borderlands should sign up for onlyfans because they're fucked. 113 billion from USA |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes. The Fed targets a 2% inflation rate, they try to achieve that through manipulating interest rates, printing money, and issuing govt bonds (debt) and not overdoing it. Inflation normally hovers around 3-4% though, a little short of their goal. But as I said, 18-24% in 3 years is a decades worth of inflation. So we had a problem. They stopped printing money and raised interest rates, and look where it is now: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-the-us-economy-tamed-inflation-in-2023-211000867.html It's fixed, and now they said they're going to start lowering interest rates again. https://www.ft.com/content/ff1f4787-57fb-4187-a215-5a32c55deeed So, one less thing to be all upset about, right? "Had" a problem? It's not fixed. That's a flat out lie. Prices are still 18-24% higher than they were 3 years ago and Americans buying power has decreased substantially and wages have not kept up. Why do you think Americans are so down on our economy? These posts read like your on Joe Biden's press team. Do you really believe everything you read inside of the links you post? |

These posts read like your on Joe Biden's press team. Do you really believe everything you read inside of the links you post? Yeah when prices go up 2-3% in a year as designed then your wage increases follow, so no big deal. But when prices go up 9-10% in a year it doesn't. It'll take a few years to catch up. But why dwell on the past when inflation rate is good now? Why act like the country is about to collapse and can't afford anything? If you want to blame it all on one guy in an election year, that's fine that's your prerogative. But just sayin, that's level 1 stuff. There have been global forces at play here and our inflation problem has been much better than Turkey, Poland, Germany, Spain, Greece, and the UK among others. They all have different currencies too. It's not just 1 guy doing this and screwing up. Much of the world had covid stimulus packages and in fact in Europe they were larger than ours, and everybody is paying an inflationary price now. |

Attack the enemy’s supply lines, take their shit for your own, use against them, repeat. Supply problem not solved but lessened a good bit. It’s guerrilla warfare 101

This response reads like Joe Biden's press team has infiltrated GD. "Global forces at play" is just short of "Putin's price hike" LOL. The world runs on USD, and Joe kept ramming spending packages through government after covid. Joe owns inflation and making Americans poorer. It's interesting you assign no fault or blame to Joe's performance in office considering most Americans do. |

I haven't voted in a general election in over a decade either. You're the one saying Joe Biden this and Joe Biden that. Honestly IMHO he's too senile to not be relying on the Treasury Dept and Federal Reserve to make good economic decisions, and by all measures they have. |

They are such whiners. The default is you lose. At best you leech off Uncle Sam to delay, but you can't talk shit and act tough if you are immediately easy to roll over without that aid. As many countries have done when faced with utter destruction and failure- go to the table. Putin got the territory he wanted which was strategically very important to Russia. Weaker countries have come to terms with stronger countries throughout human history. Had Ukraine been in the club, this would be a different game entirely. But they weren't

Quote HistoryQuoted: Biden funded Ukraine's pensions and still hasn't funded our Social Security system. Maybe he should try to do something for America for a change. Domestic spending makes it harder to kick back money to the Family and DNC. Money to Ukraine and Hamas is unaccounted for. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Except the money for pensions Quote HistoryQuoted: Except the money for pensions Does "military aid" cover pensions? "Pension aid" is a red herring. If it was done away with it would not change your mind. Quoted: Ukraine seems to be firing a lot of corrupt officials (as recent as yesterday) for money which is staying inside the US It's a completely separate nation with it's own finances, people, government, and culture. It didn't magically spring up when aid started. There's 40 or so million people there and they still have a nation to run. |
