      Nice, you got most of em. The inflation one made my jaw drop too. Like rent and food prices in the US have gone up like 20% every single damn year.

          If not for the existence of Barack "Drone King" Obama, Paul Krugman would be proof positive as to the abject worthlessness of Nobel prizes.

            Krugman always makes me think of this one from one of Lenin's best diss tracks:

            The answer is simple: the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people like Tugan. But the social status of professors in bourgeois society is such that only those are allowed to hold such posts who sell science to serve the interests of capital, and agree to utter the most fatuous nonsense, the most unscrupulous drivel and twaddle against the socialists. The bourgeoisie will forgive the professors all this as long as they go on “abolishing” socialism.

          Food inflation growth rate has decreased but high food inflation for over a year reduced the purchasing power especially as there wasn't much growth in wages.

            Is it still inflation when they're just jacking the prices up bc they can and no one will stop them?

            If the stats are bad, just go down another layer in derivatives.

            Price of food much higher? Well the rate of food price increases might be slower.

            Rate of food price increases much higher? Well, the rate of the rate of price increases is probably fine, that's not likely to be exponential.

            President Biden delivered for the American people by stopping growth in inflation

      Just adding on to this

      45.3 million people have student loan debt, so we helped...7.9% of them. Typical liberal 'help'.

      When he's right, he's right though, we sure are 'standing up' for Ukraine and Israel, the admin literally circumvented Congress again to send Israel more guns to kill Palestinians with, and is currently quiet quitting in Ukraine.

      Wait, that's not supporting...oh.

      The White House is reportedly open to making concessions to Republicans in its negotiations over aid to Ukraine and Israel that go far beyond border security.

      lmao, can't make this stuff up.

      The admin did also confirm a lot of judges, although maybe it'd be better if they didn't.

      Mr. Biden had intended to nominate Meredith for a district court judgeship in eastern Kentucky...Meredith, a well-known conservative in Kentucky, defended the state's anti-abortion laws in court. He also successfully defended a state law that stripped Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of his emergency power to implement COVID-19 restrictions.

      Liberals.

      Odd choice of graphic. Seems to imply the opposite.
