Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday evening blamed Americans for record-high inflation. It isn’t Joe Biden’s fault for spending trillions of dollars in the last year-and-a-half. It isn’t the Democrats’ fault for passing trillions in spending through the reconciliation (no GOP votes needed). The real reason for inflation is because Americans ‘splurging’ on goods.

I swear, not one soul in Biteme's administration knows their foot from their hand. They keep coming up with this stupid stuff when everyone (except the sheeple) know they are lying every time they open their mouths...

Inflation is a ALWAYS a 100% government caused problem. It is caused by the government creating large amounts of money from thin air. An example would be creating $4 TRILLION in spending which is NOT based on taxation, but on borrowing, which is essentially creating money from thin air. The Dems created $4 TRILLION, and THAT, and ONLY that, is the cause of inflation.

I saw this money printing clown say people are splurging on office furniture to work from home during the pandemic and buying expensive gas grills to cook outdoors on. Biden says we are the idiots causing inflation not his whacko government. We have stooges running this nation all of them are ignorant frauds destroying our country on purpose.

It is a mistake to think people like Yellen are Fools or Frauds. No, they are Facists in the true meaning of the word and are working to usher in a One World Government. Statements like this set the stage for policies and actions to come.

Don't ask Janet about inflation she has no clue about it. Never has, never will. As a former head of the Fed, she authorized Biden's trillions of spending. She's behind it all. Janet is dumb as a rock Fed. No Joke.

This quack needs to go. Inflation started with high gas prices, high transportation costs, the false Inflation Reduction Act, China manufacturing dependence- manufacturing shut downs due to Chinese government citizen COVID lockdown policies and supply chain issues. The goods sitting idle in the harbors off our coast line does this have anything to do with inflation? Yes it does. We are buying goods because we need them. Yellen , things wear out and need to be replaced. My friends say they are buying less because good are so expensive. Not sure where you are coming from

Fool and a Liar! The REAL reason inflation is running so high is that The HairSniffer has done his best to SHUT OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY to the USA! When Gasoline and Diesel get waay more expensive, the people making anything and transporting anything -that is everyone except the Keyboard Warriors- have increased expenses, and -to make a living- they have to pass those increased fuel costs along to their customers. I remember the 1970's! Same thing! Prices will rise until the cost of Everything comes back into proportion to the cost of Fuel- be it Gasoline, Diesel, Natural Gas or Coal. In the end, the Democ'RATS scheme of Destroying the Value of the Currency gets a bit nearer to it's goal.

A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Nitrogen hypoxia: Why Alabama's execution
of Kenneth Smith stirs ethical controversy.

Posted by Hazymac 1/25/2024 9:26:22 AM Post Reply
Alabama was set to carry out the first-ever execution by nitrogen hypoxia on death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday. The planned execution raises heated questions about the ethics of using the untried method to execute Smith, who has been through one previous execution attempt. If the execution is carried out, nitrogen hypoxia would be the first new method of execution since 1982, when the lethal injection was introduced. What is nitrogen hypoxia? Nitrogen hypoxia is a form of execution in which an inmate is deprived of oxygen until they breath only nitrogen, causing asphyxiation. Nitrogen, a colorless, odorless gas, makes up about 80% of the air we breathe. It isn't deadly until

Plans are in motion to build what would become the tallest skyscraper in the United States — and it is coming to an unlikely city. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a population of just under 700,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Although it has around a twelfth of the population of New York City, developers are trying to use it to take away the Big Apple’s title as home of the largest building in the country. Real estate company Matteson Capital hopes to submit a request to raise the tower’s original planned height of 1,750 feet to a whopping 1,907 feet — a nod to the year Oklahoma gained statehood
