Democrats Post Graph To Show Prices Are At the Highest Ever, But There's a Problem
Update: The US Loses $200 Billion Per Year in Foreign Remittances

The graph showed that the monster inflation occurred solely under Biden. Yes, prices continue to be high -- we never actually deflate prices, the best we do is not inflate them further -- but the graph plainly showed that Biden, not Trump, was responsible for all of the inflation.

And the Democrats, who are super-smart you guys, thought this chart was an Own.

After it was pointed out that the chart was an Own but a Self-Own, they deleted it.

JustTheNews:

The Democratic Party on Thursday deleted a questionable social media post that appeared to try to blame President Donald Trump for "record high" grocery prices.
The post on X shared a graph that showed grocery prices in all major food categories going up over the past four years due to inflation, but did not include a spot for 2025. However, a caption on the graph claimed the prices were higher now than in July of 2024.
The original post included the caption "Trump's America." Just The News has verified that the post existed and has since been deleted. The Trump administration has also shared the post.
The party has not commented on why the post was removed, but the post was ratio'd with 9,500 comments, compared to 6,200 likes and 4,700 reposts.

Trump's Rapid Response account reposted the chart, this time showing Biden's term in comparison with the price hikes.

Related: Tax the remittances!

The U.S. loses at least $200 billion per year from our economy in remittances. This number is likely even higher now as the last reliable, bilateral data were published in 2021.
At least 134 countries received remittances from the U.S. in 2021, with amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of billions of dollars.
In 2021, the top five recipient countries of remittances from the U.S. were: Mexico ($52.6 billion), India ($15.8 billion), Guatemala ($14.7 billion), the Philippines ($12.8 billion), and China ($12.7 billion). Some of these totals have grown significantly even since 2021.
U.S. remittances account for around 20 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of multiple countries in Central America, including Honduras and El Salvador.
Billions of dollars sent in remittances to Mexico are potentially linked to cartels. Some of these funds are in the form of cryptocurrency, making them even harder to trace than conventional funds.

It has always interested me that these price increases didn't start under Trump 1.

So much money printed.

Maybe because it was tied with a complete collapse of actual economic activity that it just kind of kept things...even?

This is the problem with inflation - it is way worse then a tax because you can always, theoretically, roll back the tax.

Inflation is forever because it is the destruction of value.

if Biden doubled taxes Trump/congress could just undo that and you'd have increased spending power immediately.

But because Biden halved the value of money EVERYTHING, FOREVER costs twice as much. Trump can't undo it, baring deflation which has its own problems.

The only way to reduce inflation is to make the dollar worth more. Which actually happened in Trump's first 3 years and I read a report claiming it happened in his first quarter as well. That makes your wealth increase faster than the cost of items, effectively reducing overall expenses.

As a rule of thumb, interest rate changes, and money supply changes take about 12-18 months to be fully reflected in the economy. Which is why Powell is being called out for being late. When the supertanker is five miles from the coast, they had better be slowing down already, because it takes four miles to overcome the momentum.

But with EGGS being headlined, seems Dems may have noticed their chart was off.

It would hurt to have a little deflation after the rapid Biden inflation, but the plan seems to be to INFLATE out of our "debt crisis" (along with some cuts in spending).

So Trump thinks Powell will give us a rate cut soon, even as markets are at all time highs. The rich get richer ... c'est la vie.

They would all sign their checks to him, we cashed all the checks, and then they took that cash to Western Union and wired it to Mexico. WU was also our customer -- all that cash would come right back to us on Monday morning.

115 This is the problem with inflation - it is way worse then a tax because you can always, theoretically, roll back the tax.

Inflation is forever because it is the destruction of value.

if Biden doubled taxes Trump/congress could just undo that and you'd have increased spending power immediately.

But because Biden halved the value of money EVERYTHING, FOREVER costs twice as much. Trump can't undo it, baring deflation which has its own problems.

The main reasons for the inflation under Biden were, as I understand it:

1) all the massive billions handed to the public during the Panic lockdowns in extended unemployment and "stimulus" checks pouring into the economy directly
2) Increased regulations causing bottlenecks in supply and pressure on prices
3) decreased energy production and increases on cost of energy rippled through all sectors, pushing prices up
4) Massive giveaways to leftist organizations poured even more money into the economy with no source.

Season to date, “The View” is ranking No. 1 in Households (1.74 rating) and Total Viewers (2.563 million) among all daytime talk shows and news programs for the 5th straight season."

But Harris Faulkner actually pulled more of the desirable 18-49 year old demographic this spring and actually topped the View in ratings earlier this year in total numbers despite being on cable only which the View is on broadcast plus cable.

Elect another Democrat and you'll probably see the same thing again.

Another way to view inflation is that it is a way to tax wealth, not income. Because they've stolen halve the value of the dollars you have saved they can spend it as Bidenbux without, nominally, touching the number of dollars in your savings.

Posted by: The left at July 25, 2025 12:35 PM (t0Rmr)

137 Prices do go down, in the absence of monetary fvckery. This is the natural order of things.

Even the 2% “target inflation rate” is highway robbery. In practice your savings and investments are cut in half every 20 years. Or put another way, they have to double in value to break even.

Naturally, you owe taxes on the “gain”.

It wasn’t easy, but back in the day a single breadwinner working at the factory could afford a car, a house, and a wife and children and get 5 per cent on government bonds. Pensions and maybe even a trip to Jellystone park once in a while. I don’t think anyone fully appreciates just how fucked everything is right now. Mr. Trump is doing the right things.

138 Did you notice during Trump's press conference with Powell that they had to put a little sticker near the top of the document he handed Powell? That was to make sure he didn't hand it to him upside down because the fucker CAN'T READ!

When Trump signs executive orders, he never reads them - he asks his staffers to tell him what it is he is signing. Watch when someone hands him something expecting him to read it aloud. He looks at it pretending to read it silently then he hands it back asking the person who gave it to him to read it aloud.

Trump was so hoping for a Scooby-Doo gotcha moment, and he fucked it all up with a limp delivery against a much smarter opponent. Never get in a numbers fight with an accomplished lawyer whose whole life has been finance.

He got some nerve complaining about Biden's auto pen when he is signing executive orders he can't read.

And did you notice that Trump had a hardhat on, Powell had a hardhat on, but Tim Scott did NOT have a hardhat on? A subtle dog whistle to Trump's racist base that black lives don't matter, not even the lives of those who have drunk the koolaid???

Inflation is a factor of the level of the money supply, not a factor of demand, supply, or tariffs. When you print too much money, you get inflation.

Taxes and spending cuts have an indirect impact because they reduce how many dollars get printed.

160 Even the 2% “target inflation rate” is highway robbery. In practice your savings and investments are cut in half every 20 years. Or put another way, they have to double in value to break even.

Only way this happens is if savings are invested in cash under a mattress.

Right now a risk free CD pays 4-5% which is higher than the 2.5% inflation rate.

I would look at my stock market return rates under Biden and mentally subtract 10% (though it was probably more like 25%). If you aren't earning more then the rate of inflation you are losing money.

171 I'm guessing that $200 billion a year removed from circulation in the US economy is a lot more than the "alleged" taxes the left always claims the illegals pay?

See also how every leftie stimulus program is sold on how each dollar added is a "multiplier" as it gets spend several times as it circulates through the economy.

So what is the negative multiplier of taking $200 billion of wages--not borrowed money, earned--out of the economy every year?

And to say nothing of the negative inflation effects in these foreign countries of all that US money?

Or that a huge chunk of those remittances are going to the cartel coyotes to pay off the trafficking debt (or their families will be killed)?

Posted by: illiniwek at July 25, 2025 12:30 PM (vbXSk)

Trump wants rates cut because most of our debt is financed in short term bonds so higher rates equals more money lost to interest. Given that the Fed, supposedly, raises rates to balance inflation and unemployment and we currently have very low inflation, there's no reason to not lower rates.

Class consciousness notwithstanding.

214 "Prices come down all the time due to supply and productivity."

BigGov spending (and waste and fraud) steals most of our productivity gains, and then some ... hence the massive debt.

Computers and some such tech prices go down, but they keep getting better. So somehow the experts use "hedonic pricing" to say prices did not go up (on that new car with tons of new features, for example), it's just that you have a much better product (which does cost more, but they don't want to put that in the official stats).

Imagine that you have some product which can be purchased with either dollars or gold. $100 dollars or 1 ounce in gold (just go with it). Now, double the number of dollars in circulation and people want $200 - or 1 ounce in gold... inflation. It's caused by the paper money not being worth the paper it's printed on.

Yeah they had many chances to mock Obama and Biden, and did nothing. And what upsets me most is that of all the MANY things they can mock Trump over, of all the goofy mannerisms and silly stuff he does, this is where they went? And they didn't even come up with their own art style for him.

Its like Paramount went "OK here's the deal you get 1.5 billion dollars for your dumb cartoon show, but you gotta do one attacking Trump over the Epstein files" and they took like 3 hours to whip this together.

236 Billions of dollars sent in remittances to Mexico are potentially linked to cartels. Some of these funds are in the form of cryptocurrency, making them even harder to trace than conventional funds.

I like how they work in the "cryptocurrency is hard to track" angle.

Crypto is probably the easiest to track and seize compared to physical currency or metals.

But if it encourages the Mexican cartels to go that route, I'm all for it.

Jonathan Haidt did the work. It was part of when he was discovering the fraud that is the "F-Factor" (sometimes "A-factor"), which is that the more conservative you are, the more likely your are authoritarian and/or fascist.

The data actually shows the opposite *trend*, and when Haidt researched it, he found that this bedrock of social psychology *flipped* the data.

But I got this from Google:

Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory identifies six core moral values: Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subversion, Sanctity/Degradation, and Liberty/Oppression.
---
Liberals primarily focus on Care, Fairness, and Liberty.

Supposedly, but if you go from my observation. They don't *care* about an opponent. They don't care about *fairness* to an opponent, and they don't care about the exercise of rights to an opponent, who should just be silenced.

It's just that their language has those primary themes: Care, Fairness and Liberty.

They take a 1000 cow loan from you and agree to pay back 2000 total cows for the principal and interest. When they finish paying you back you notice you have 1500 cows. Where did the other 500 go? Uh...inflation...but we totally paid you back right?

I read a good article on this. Essentially, one of the companies involved in the recent Paramount merger was fucking these guys over holding up a deal or payment.

The author guessed that South Park waited for this deal to go through to then try to ragebait the Trump admin into suing the company.

Tell me you've never cooked a meal in your entire life without telling me you've never cooked a meal in your entire life.

Two hours maybe but not to cook one meal for one person. Two hours to cook a dinner for 6 - 10 people is not unreasonable. So what is the cost of a Doordash for 10 people? And it's not like I'm taking those two hours as unpaid leave from my day job in any case. If I wasn't cooking, I still wouldn't be getting paid for them.

Especially when Trump's been in construction nearly his entire adult life, so it's probably first nature to put on a hard hat. Maybe Powell is more used to that or followed Don's lead.

However, I wear a hard hat occasionally, those things get sweaty and greasy with sweat, sometimes its the best relief just to take them off (and to be somewhere where you can.) And perhaps Scott simply did not want to wear the hat?

369 360 The "open marriage" thing - it always astounds me that there are women who keep falling for this. That they don't mean "hey lets pretend we're married and I'll screw anyone I want all the time, and we won't call it infidelity. And as the man I'll agree because I know I've got the energy and the drive to do that a hell of a lot more than you, the woman ever will."

Other than really high status men who can maintain a harem, in lower SES, women are the driving force in polyamory ironically. Men just cheat.

371 296 Thank you for your response, Axeman. That really clarified the concept for me. And I share your observations about the left (I don't call them liberals because I am far more liberal than the lefties I know.)

True Liberals believed in Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Thought. The current batch of leftists have thrown all of that away, and now are a pack of totalitarian wannabees.

Sexually, males are analogous to accelerators -- and females analogous to brakes.

Which is why homosexual males are generally so much more sexually promiscuous than homosexual females.

375 I'd thought the Philippines were poor but decent.
New Guinea is basically a big island Indian Reservation. Their cities are not safe in the slightest.
And Indonesia is, you know, Moslem. Excepting Bali.

Trump threatening the show really doesn't fit well with me, though.

I mean, yeah, he's on a suit winning streak, but that doesn't mean he should get out over his skis. Let the progs decline at their own pace.

The Harpies accused Pres. Trump of "crimes against humanity." You think the Lefties wouldn't gleefully deport him to The Hague for a trial?

Pres. Trump knows that the Lefties play the long game: no way he can let that stand without the harpies getting their chains yanked by the network lawyers.

377 In your analogy my existing 10 acres would shrink by 3% and then I’d get an extra 0.5 acres allocated to me next door. My net land would increase.

——-

The numbers might get larger, but the physical land would decrease.

NB we have VERY precise definitions for pounds, kilograms, yards, litres, gallons, meters, seconds, months, years, - literally everything. For accounting purposes. As in my Acre of Land example.

Except, strangely, when it comes to our money.

Currency. Then it’s just some vague thing that nobody can define. By design. Weird, huh?

Loses? If a person is paid for a job, that money belongs to that person, not the US.

A lot of couples are into this. More than people think. It’s an affluent, mostly white and Asian, thing to do.

381 "the post was ratio'd with 9,500 comments, compared to 6,200 likes and 4,700 reposts."

What's wrong with ratioed?

Apostrophe abuse is a grave threat to the social order.

382 "Which is why homosexual males are generally so much more sexually promiscuous than homosexual females."

The effort to transplant homosexual mores into straight society was on part driven by heterosexual men seeking the same degree of sexual license as homosexuals. Little did they think that once women were expected to be sexually promiscuous, they would let themselves go. Like lesbians.
