Minimal effect on inflation. Don't mistake drawing down surplus as weakening the military, when they have stockpiled for multiple wars and conflicts simultaneously. The rest... is surplus. And definitely don't mistake giving them old kit, munitions and equipment as weakening our military, especially thing we aren't using and don't want. And don't want to keep paying to store and/or
maintain.

From the DPICM's to BFV's to older model M1's, we're in many cases giving then massive upgrades to what they had without giving away anything we'll miss. No one's really planning on producing new DPICM's. 155's, absolutely. But that doesn't really have much direct impact on your daily life or what you're paying at the grocery store, or to buy pants. Or cars. Or massage parlor handjobs.

And in some cases, creating a new market if there's an appetite to replace Soviet and Russian built with American built. And where that occurs, we may even see some offset on indirect inflation generated.

I hope you're serious, and if you are, I respect that immensely. It's not easy. I have to drive past two Wal-Marts to go spend more money shopping at Target and Giant Eagle. But at least I know my money is going to respectable corporations who pay their employees fairly and don't suckle off the government teat.

Some of you may be surprised to discover I'm not nearly as far to the left as you think I am.

The other 30% have to be brain dead leftists

Corporate welfare, IE, just giving them tax breaks carte blanche, yes, but, I do think the Government should be far easier to work with when building infrastructure such as pipelines, oil fields, etc.

We can take lessons from South Korea, who works hand in hand with industry to dominate world markets, Hyundai with shipping container, ship and cranes, for example, or, how they help their car companies early on to become viable, and THEN dominate.

Definitely don't want to look at the tail-end or carryover there. Just compare the starts so you can compare pre-COVID to heavy COVID to post-COVID

You mean compare pre Chinese release of a bio weapon, that was either accidental, or intentional, perhaps designed to scuttle a presidency.

You think Joes trips to China were for nothing?

Think the 20 million was given for free?

Facts are facts, even when they kick you in the face, you can't see them.

A Banquet TV dinner was a dollar, its now two.

A can of Pedigree dog food was 85 cents, its now 2.00.

I paid 1.86 a gallon for regular during the Trump era, I paid of 5 dollars under Biden.

The only good thing, is all my ammunition has drastically increased in value, as have most of my guns, especially evil ones.

But, on the other hand, the Civil War clock is ticking closer to midnight, and, the likelyhood that collectable guns will be pressed into service is higher.

I think your argument speaks louder than a prepper in a WM when there's a limit on toilet paper to how excited and ready you are for the Boogaloo

[berryberry]

Credit card debt at an all time high while the majority of savings gets wiped out.

Is this what Senile Biden calls Bidenomics?

If its going to happen, I want to participate, and see it done before my younger family members are the ones fighting.

Its just a matter of when.

Ass for TP, I can use my hand, or a leaf, shit happens.

Tax cuts drive growth, more money, more things to spend it on.

[HDGristle]

More money, same amount of things to spend it on.

Do that right before COVID lockdowns and you also help juice inflation a bit, especially as there are fewer things to buy because global shipping grinds to a halt while ports are closed.

And help balloon the debt ratio by reducing the numerator while the denominator increases.

Then, because you lost, you blame the other guy because the impacts lag. And you pretend you had nothing to do with it.

Another reason lockdowns should’ve never happened. So stupid. Wreck the economy and the electoral system in one go.
