========== For swing voters, are democracy, and the other Enlightenment ideals of America's founders, https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-enlightenment.html critical election issues compared to gas prices? https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-capitol-siege-tim-ryan-inflation-donald-trump-6fec0170deef3f55a7aa6f04f4e425a1 We can do something NOW toward preventing future insurrections. The Jan 6 committee will outline legislative steps in its final report. There is nothing feasible NOW to influence Putin to stop aggression or MBS to increase oil production enough to affect global oil prices. Our domestic gas problem is one of price, which reflects the global oil market, not one of supply - America is a net exporter. No long gas lines except at the cheapest place in town - unlike the 1970's. The GOP megadonor solution is to abandon environmental restrictions and ignore climate change and drill baby drill - but that's easier said than done - https://www.marketplace.org/2022/08/01/why-arent-oil-companies-drilling-on-their-9000-land-leases/ and won't make a noticeable change before the 2024 election. RISING oil (and gas) prices might make drilling happen quicker. In any case, the GOP is not going to make American oil companies sell oil domestically for less than it's worth globally. But by 2024 a global economic recession might well have cured global inflation, reducing demand for gasoline faster than MBS can cut production. For the time being, though, inflation will continue to be a global problem, worse in most countries than in America. Already there are signs that inflation is ending - or recession is beginning - or both?

Paralyzing the global economy and forcing gas prices down meant people associated low gas prices with the end of Trump's term. When the economy and gas prices recovered, Biden was president and got the blame. Of course, neither Trump nor Biden have much to do with global oil prices; that honor belongs to Putin and MBS. But they aren't running in our election! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/20/opinion/will-gas-prices-doom-democracy.html #PS1inflation ===== comments 56 impact 5165 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-10-21 ratio 4 react 698 reactrate 0 shares 7 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 635 title Covid was the luckiest thing that ever happened to Trump! topic inflation wordrate 0 words 74 audclicks 635 commentsimpress 56 epoch Lifetime ID 1784588931885618 impress 4643 matchedlinkclicks 104 matchedotherclicks 531 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "10/21/2022 15:10" rcs 89 reach 3299 reactions 26 sharesimpress 7 title "Opinion | Will Gas Prices Doom Democracy?" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1784588931885618 ========== Has the Fed over-corrected? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/06/opinion/fed-inflation-interest-rates.html From a political perspective, there's too much time lag in economics. #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-10-06 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Has the Fed over-corrected? topic inflation wordrate 0 words 16 epoch Lifetime ID 1772173436460501 impress 14 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "10/06/2022 20:10" reach 11 title "Opinion | Tracking the Coming Economic Storm" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1772173436460501 ========== Why is inflation so stubborn? Wholesale gas prices have been declining more rapidly than retail prices at the pump https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/21/business/gas-prices-decline-streak.html New car prices are still increasing swiftly, and dealer profits remain sharply elevated with little sign of cracking https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/21/business/economy/inflation-car-market.html And the GOP solution to inflation? In public blame Biden, of course, and in private, thank the oil and automotive megadonors for their generous dark campaign money. Interfere with the free market of job-creator corporations? Not on the GOP's watch! More likely to interfere with the free market of labor, by union-busting. But inflation is a global problem, and there isn't much Biden, or the GOP, can do about most of it. If global inflation were to be blamed on one person, it might be Putin, for the Ukraine war, or Xi, for his covid shutdown policies. But rather than criticize Putin, increasing numbers of GOP leaders would rather praise him as a strong leader. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/26/briefing/inflation-prices-ukraine-economy.html #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-09-23 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Why is inflation so stubborn? topic inflation wordrate 0 words 153 epoch Lifetime ID 1760415590969619 impress 9 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "09/23/2022 12:09" reach 8 title "A Global Inflation Crisis" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1760415590969619 ========== What is the rest of the Republican agenda? https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-credos.html#gop High gas prices are global - https://apnews.com/article/global-gas-prices-957d4b6b574d5924d68d5776f22363b1 So voters' choices are high gas prices and the rest of the Democratic agenda; or, high gas prices and the rest of the Republican agenda https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/06/19/voters-angry-about-inflation-should-pay-attention-before-november/ Too bad about that! #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-06-20 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title What is the rest of the Republican agenda? topic inflation wordrate 0 words 44 epoch Lifetime ID 1690788734598972 impress 10 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "06/20/2022 06:06" reach 9 title "Opinion | Here’s what voters will get if they cast their ballots based on gas prices" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1690788734598972 ========== There's hardly any historical difference between the parties on inflation because it mostly depends on external factors neither controls. But what does correlate over and over - it's EITHER inflation or unemployment. That means that no matter who wins this election over inflation, they'll get the blame for unemployment and recession next time. Nobody knows how to avoid both for a long time in the face of external shocks like war or covid or OPEC or climate change. https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/27/lansners-mailbag-are-democrats-to-blame-for-high-inflation/ #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-05-29 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title There's hardly any historical difference between the topic inflation wordrate 0 words 79 epoch Lifetime ID 1675586676119178 impress 10 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "05/29/2022 15:05" reach 10 title "Lansner’s mailbag: Are Democrats to blame for high inflation?" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1675586676119178 ========== American reshoring means higher prices but more jobs for some Americans. Unfortunately an aging population and insufficient immigration means there won't be enough workers for those jobs - increasing wage pressure and inflation. And foreign reshoring means fewer jobs for other Americans. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/03/business/economy/pandemic-supply-chains-inflation.html Have covid and Putin permanently lowered the global standard of living? #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-05-07 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title American reshoring means higher prices but more jobs for topic inflation wordrate 0 words 54 epoch Lifetime ID 1659449427732903 impress 8 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "05/07/2022 23:05" reach 8 title "The Era of Cheap and Plenty May Be Ending" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1659449427732903 ========== The German ruling class was enjoying the benefits of globalization of energy resources. Just as the American ruling class was enjoying the benefits of globalization of manufacturing. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/07/opinion/germany-russia-ukraine-energy.html Until the benefits disappeared overnight, replaced by unexpected costs - and shortages and inflation.

Many causes and no short-term solutions One new cause is a major increase in corporate landlords buying up housing. In vacation areas, often for short-term rentals rather than permanent residents. https://apnews.com/article/business-lifestyle-us-news-miami-florida-a4717c05df3cb0530b73a4fe998ec5d1 GOP solution - prohibit rent controls, zoning restrictions, and environmental reviews, to increase the supply of housing built cheaply and sold expensively. #PS1inflation ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2022-03-04 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Rocketing rents!
