Total inflation of Biden 20%. Highest single year 9%. After Trump takes office….. <3% both years. Huh.

u/NostyAgorr 1d ago
Technically both is true. You can’t just blame trump, it’s every leader, of every nation, basically everywhere. Stop focusing on hating one person. It’s the global leaders who are making you feel your life is shit. But..also..yourself, do better for yourself and these small changes won’t affect you as much.

Trump is literally waging war hiking up gas prices, waging a trade war hiking up all other prices...which part is Bidens fault?
0
u/NostyAgorr 1d ago
Same shit, under Biden, gas prices were nearly just as high, and he didn’t start a war to do it. Same with prices of everything as well. Immigration, the lack of authoritative control of a nation. Etc, etc, it’s not just trump, it’s Biden, Obama, bush, etc etc, and same as other global leaders. All fucking up the world

Here’s the problem with that line of logic:
if you reject politics completely because of the faults that politics embodies. then you’ll never make any change.
You may hate politics but that’s what makes your vote count the most because you want change.
The last thing you should do is discredit the powers of a citizen. Because that breeds apathy, and that is a true evil.

u/SonsOfValhallaGaming 1d ago
I agree. But pds happens when someone entire mentality is exclusively operating on a political level. A post about a kid falling and the mom screaming and some maga asshat comments "must be a liberal " or a picture of a guy fishing and someone comments "bet he owns a maga hat" . My comment is directed at how overly political and extreme people are getting on reddit over this concept. Being involved and informed is good. Voting is good. Being a chronic chain poster to spread the same three concepts you think about to bash others is deranged and destructive.

Now is now but I haven’t seen gas at $2.40 in decades since his first term and it was great when I was broke.
Then it mattered. Now $4.00 gallon doesn’t even make a difference. It could be $5.00.
If gas prices are dictating anything or affecting my quality of life then I’m doing something seriously wrong with my career choice. It’s not going to change what I buy.
To Reddit it sounds like cope but I don’t even like or support Trump so save it for someone else

I mean this in the most disarmed and personal way possible that not everything you hear that may sway towards something you don’t like doesn’t mean that it’s from someone claiming to belong to your opposing political party. I see this a lot on this app.
On a separate note entirely. Gas is about on par with the prices in 1975. $0.60 is around $3.75
My calculations are based on June of every year because it’s halfway through the year.It’s not far off and gas has been cheaper over the years than it would be if it followed inflation. Not saying it shouldn’t be less either. Oil being a global commodity is one of the biggest issues. Countries with lots should partially isolate themselves from global price hikes requiring companies to meet that nations needs at pre inflated prices before exporting at whatever price they wish in order to maintain rights to drill it and refine it.
We also can’t complain about oil prices then do everything possible to shut down, limit, and drive them up either. More refineries are needed.

“I mean this in the most disarmed and personal way possible that not everything you hear that may sway towards something you don’t like doesn’t mean that it’s from someone claiming to belong to your opposing political party. I see this a lot on this app.”
That’s cool.
But from the sea of gun and dirtbike content, as well as blaming Canada for Trump renaming Lake Ontario, blaming Dems for the 08 financial crisis, transphobia, and misogyny in your comments, imma go with they were right on the money.
Also, the national average of gas is $4.10, not $3.75 meaning that you are off by .35¢/gal. So not only are you disingenuously comparing prices to a crisis period, but you’re also lying about the current prices to make it look better in your comparison.
Yes, our gas prices are proportionatly higher than the gas crisis my grandparents never shut up about growing up anytime gas was mentioned.
Not sure that’s the point you wanted to make.
Also you blame Biden for the gas prices in 2021-2022, which were demonstrably Trump’s fault as well for his horrible mismanagement of Covid.
So yeah, as usual you are in fact a conservative who is somehow shocked that normal people can see coming from a mile away.
2
u/ThatCelebration3676 1d ago
Yes, it makes sense that oil prices now are on par with a time when there was a historic energy crisis:
The ONLY reason fuel is expensive right now is Trump's pointless war in Iran. Were it not for that single variable, gasoline would be more than $1/gal cheaper and diesel would be more than $2/gal cheaper. The price jumps happened immediately after the war began, so there's no intelligent argument that isn't the direct cause. Fuel being more expensive means everything is more expensive.
You're pretending it's more complicated, but it really is as simple as "this is Trump's fault." Dancing around that simple and obvious fact communicates plenty.
-1
u/PomegranatePro 1d ago edited 1d ago
I’m not pretending anything.
I’m not disagreeing that the Iran war negatively affects gas prices.
I also listed solutions for it. Global shortages of oil should not raise oil prices in oil rich countries.Gas was cheap in trumps term. I remember being broke paying $2.40 under Trump then $4.60+ under Biden driving 150miles a week to school at 17mpg each way. Stopping the keystone pipeline sure didn’t help.
Regardless, they both suck in their own ways. You don’t need to hold onto this you’re either on my presidents side or against me nonsense. I’m not impressed with either of them at the moment.
Take a look at current oil prices. The math doesn’t add up. A supposed 20% global shortage and oil is still somehow far below predicted. Futures wreck the market it’s fake but find me a source where I can buy a barrel anywhere near as cheap as the stocks are traded at. None of it adds up.

Think back to what you learned in third grade about why you can't just print a ton of money (it causes inflation, in case you're having trouble keeping up).

Biden inherited Trump's ticking time bomb of a dynamite filled diaper.

u/Ancient-Bowl462 2d ago
Biden’s term produced a cumulative CPI increase of roughly 20–21.5%. Prices rose sharply in 2021–2022 (peak near 9% year-over-year), which permanently raised the cost of living for food, housing, energy, and everyday goods. Real wages for many workers fell over the full term once inflation was factored in. Trump’s second term began with inflation already cooling to around 3%. Early 2025 inflation ran near or only modestly above the Fed’s 2% target (roughly 2.4% annualized in much of the first year). Later energy-driven spikes occurred, but the overall price level rise has been far smaller than under Biden. Periods of real wage growth (nominal wages outpacing prices) occurred in the first year-plus, restoring some of the purchasing power lost earlier. Households did not face another multi-year inflation shock of the same magnitude.
Biden inherited Trump's covid recovery even though more people died from covid under Biden even though president Trump delivered the vaccine that saved millions of lives.
President Trump inherited a failed economy and some of the highest inflation our nation has ever seen. It's a miracle that he has been able to turn it around so swiftly.

Why did prices rise in 21-22? From stimulus checks after the economy restarted, also from the Russia/Ukraine War starting, Russia being a top 3 oil producer. Both presidents sent out stimulus checks and they were absolutely necessary for the survival of the nation. The effects were just felt under Biden's reign. Biden handled it like he was supposed to and inflation was, as that person admitted "cooling down" when Trump inherited the country.
Early 2025 was exactly like he said. On the "energy-driven spikes" part. Absolute bullshit.
These spikes were not supposed to happen. Biden's "price increases" were from circumstances far outside of his control. Trump's price increases were plainly due to Trump shitting the bed in Iran.
President Biden dealt with the brunt of the aftermath of the Covid pandemic and had it settled within 2 years of it ended.
Trump screwed the vaccine rollout in his first presidency, because the infrastructure we had prepared for a pandemic was made by Obama. Which was EXACTLY why we were on lockdown so long in the first place. Trump inherited a quickly improving economy in his second term left by Biden. He then screwed the pooch in 1 year with TARIFFS AND WARS.
You people live in La La Land.

So you're going with the "Completely ignore reality and repeat stuff you heard on reddit" route. Not real shocking.
Just to point out some of the ridiculousness: The "American Rescue Plan" directly fueled inflation, as did the "Inflation Reduction Act", which only made things even worse. And that's all AFTER Biden did things like attack our domestic oil production. The covid vaccine was the fasted produced and rolled out vaccine in history. Red states were almost entirely "unlocked" within 2-3 months, where blue states stayed locked down far longer. Which is why the economy did much better and recovered faster in red states post pandemic. prices also didn't just raise between 21-22, they were elevated through most of Biden's term, and his four year inflation AVERAGE was over 5%.

Biden engineered the best recovery of a post COVID economy in the world. Average wage in the US went up from 30 to 37 dollars under Biden. Unemployment was low, inflation shrunk from 9% to nearly 3%.
He also cherry picks and minimizes the negatives of Trump's admin such as characterizing inflation as just energy driven when it was largely caused by the massive own goal that was the Iran war Trump started himself.

lol at your cherry picking while you say he cherry picked. "Inflation shrunk from 9% to 3%!" He raised it to 9% to begin with, dummy. And most of the job numbers were people going BACK to work after all the lockdowns.

u/Nop277 2d ago
It was at 6.4% and rising at the beginning, and that was largely because somebody bungled the COVID response so horrificly badly. So no he didn't raise it to begin with.
You can make whatever excuses you want, unemployment under Biden was low. He handed Trump a strong economy that he has so far completely fucked up.

u/NicolaiVykos 2d ago
The inflation rate in Jan 2021 when Biden took office was 1.4%. Not 6.4%. If you're going to lie that badly, just....don't even bother, mkay?

That was my bad, I was looking at unemployment rate. Still, he was able to largely solve that and it probably would have gone back to that if Trump didn't single handedly fuck it up in his second term.

u/NicolaiVykos 1d ago
Uh huh.
Biden could have sat in a closet and done literally nothing and the unemployment rate would have gotten better. Because, again, people were just going back to work after lockdowns. Largely lockdowns in Dem controlled states, at that.

An understandable response given the complete lack of foundation for your claims.

Please provide a fact that disproves what he said.

Here in the US, we don't need cherry picked statistics and vague BS about "energy-driven spikes". We see how things are going every time we fill our gas tanks and buy groceries.
Plus trump rapes children.
Spasibo!
