Gary Varvel for June 26, 2024

Guess we all better be careful what we post now that the SCOTUS has ruled that the president can influence social media “under the guise of combating misinformation”.

Hhmm, I guess this means in November when Trump wins, Trump can control social media. Sort of what’s good for the goose is good for the gander or some such.

As to inflation, too many people have been fooled by lower inflation rates. Inflation is a compounding action. That month we had 9% did not disappear, it just raised everything higher. 3% inflation simply adds onto the 9% and the rest. Prices have NOT come down, they merely are still going up, just slower. But those eggs and bread have not gotten any cheaper.

Must be a conservative financial adviser. There is no such thing as ‘Bidenflation’.

True.. those trump tax cuts for his friends need lots of peons paying taxes.

Agreed. 50+ years of electing climate change deniers have made government much more expensive. One single Hurricane Ian costs taxpayers billions in emergency-relief funding. And it’s way more than one hurricane or wildfire these days.

Continuing to allow air pollutants cost taxpayers billions in asthma and allergy treatments, and has been proven to shorten the average life span.

Eschewing meaningful gun safety costs billions in health care costs to treat the injured and bury the dead and provide necessary counseling for survivors. It also deprives this country of many smart minds which could have benefitted society if they had, for example, been allowed to get out of elementary school.

It also allows drug cartels to gain the power they have, and their stock-in-trade costs taxpayers billions to try to rein in, plus the health-care costs related to addictions that those cartels supply.

Allowing government and corporations to skirt safety issues costs taxpayers billions in clean-up efforts. See: Flint, Michigan, or East Palestine, Ohio.

And that’s just the start. Blaming all of America’s financial woes on Mr. Biden’s time in the White House is intentional ignorance and conscious stupidity.

Those two will have company, because Jamaal Bowman will also be seeking gainful employment after his crushing failure to win back his House seat in the Bronx. His showing was soo poor that even follow Squad member AOC welshed on a promised appearance on his behalf.

No matter. I’m sure that Jamaal can find work testing fire alarms for the City of New York.

Joe Biden is no doubt the worst president in American history.

This isn’t at all true because their IRA and 401k are both through the roof.

Varvel, like all MAGAts, believes there is no such thing as market concentration, and even if there is, it has NO effect on inflation whatsoever.

MAGAts believe the ONLY factor that causes inflation is “Biden’s Policies”, which they cannot identify, but parrot the slogan constantly.

Maybe people would have more money if they didn’t send their earnings to a 34-count convicted felon who loves to tell you how rich he is. Trump is a grifter, and he loves the uneducated…who keep sending him their money.

Inflation, the belief that if a company is not increasing profits, it is dying.

Would someone PLEASE give Varvel a new script?

Back to work grams and gramps, gotta buy a bag of groceries!

What is Varvel on? Our retirement savings has never been greater.

Don’t give up your job until biden is gone.

Will Gary be out of work if Trump wins and the world becomes paradise as a result?

More likely they will have to go back to work when Social Security and Medicare are destroyed by the right wingers.

Excellent portrayal of facts.

Especially for any senior trying to live solely on Social Security.

Inflation is relatively low.

Corporate greed is relatively high.

Republicans are against any help for Americans except for tax breaks for rich corporations.

Trump is for corporations and anti consumer so he is no help.

There are two surveys behind our unemployment situation. The payroll survey and the household survey. If an individual has 3 jobs to get by due to inflation, the payroll survey counts that as 3 people working while the household survey sees it as 1 person working.

So when Biden speaks of those millions of jobs, he’s not talking about the household survey. For obvious reasons.

Inflation is way down. But the truth never stops the cult!

Be sure to give 10 percent to the big guy … that is, the grifter-in-chief.

Sure Gary. Which party is claiming that retirement age will have to be raised to the age of 70? Not the democrats.

I you knew then what you know now, would you have changed your vote? Not me, I voted the right way, but they said we lost.

Now THAT’S not funny….too real and actually happening.

Funny thing is that I saw a 70 year old grandma working at a local Walmart the other day. Well, I think it was a 70 year old grandma. Maybe she was older.

I hear Wal Mart is hiring door greeters.

The problem is when misinformation and disinformation are interchanged.

In January 2021 economists with no political bias told investors to prepare for inflation as the pandemic eased and the world started up again. The economists were correct; supply and demand, as we were taught in sixth grade social studies, created GLOBAL inflation. This was compounded by zero interest rates, something the Fed chair now regrets doing for Trump in 2020. SO, please explain how GLOBAL inflation is Biden’s fault? I have never heard or read anyone who can explain this, likely because it isn’t true. He was president when inflation occurred, therefore he is responsible? OK, Trump was president when COVID occurred, therefore he is reponsible. Same logic, correct?

AND THAT’S THE TRUTH
