How Biden's regulations are driving up inflation"

I think this is more of a Dem thing than a Biden thing. Back in 2000 the Clinton administration passed a regulation that required water to have arsenic levels exponentially lower than what occurred naturally. The cost benefit didn't support that regulation (Democrats hate cost benefit studies). Bottolime it ended up costing 100s of millions annually for a benefit that would prevent the death of 6-10 people over 25 years (But what about those people??? Aren't they worth more than money???! Was the rejoinder).

Just want to point out that your link is Opinion and not fact. Pretty much ignores , lack of decent min wage hikes over the last 40 years(not Biden), ignores oil futures and OPEC (not Biden) and ignores the pandemic contribution to inflation. Again not defending Biden just laying out facts that are ignored by many.

All solid points G-1. Especially about the pandemic. I think alot of anti Biden people flat out refuse to understand how much it had to do with the inflation issues.

Also people need to understand the relationship between the deficit and inflation.

Also, “Inflation is down two-thirds from its peak and annual core inflation is the lowest since May 2021. Wages are rising faster than prices over the last year and since the pandemic.”

Everyone wants to blame Biden, but we have bounced back better than any economy in the world since the pandemic. And we didn’t go off the rails printing money like some other moron with his 7 trillion dollar bullshit bankruptcy loving nonsense. Lol.

Remember that recession that was otw last year? Thanks Joe.

All those things drive up inflation, but so do unnecessary regulations. Problem we've had since 2009 for new administrations seems to be to completely abandon, reject or out-right undermine all of their predecessors' policies whether they were good, bad, working or not. Bad way of doing things for the country.

I will disagree with you . Big Companies were running rough shot over the Country. Do you remember Wall Street Crash, ATT before the break up? Just one example. bleeding customers and employees dry. Remember Enron? You say the regulations aren't necessary but give no way of keeping those Companies or Industries in check .You say since 2009 but it's been going on through out the history of this Country, it's what this Country does protect it's Citizens from Private Enterprise that tries to take advantage of the people in it. Do I agree with all of them no but yes they are needed but they aren't the reason for inflation. Shutting Down the Country for two years is a biggest reason and that was on the Republicans and Democrats equally.

Let's talk about un needed regulations,

USA TODAY
Florida baffles experts by banning local water break rules as deadly heat is on the rise

Sweltering summer heat might have been more bearable for outdoor workers in Miami-Dade County under a proposal that suggested mandated breaks in the shade on the hottest days – but Florida said no.

The county's proposal to establish heat rules for workers has been preempted by a new law: Florida has joined Texas in banning such local rules for outdoor workers. Meanwhile, California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington have passed laws giving more protections to construction workers who work in extreme heat.

Florida's new law has frustrated and angered some experts and advocates for construction workers and farmworkers. As summers get hotter over the years, outdoor workers will need more protections, not fewer, said Luigi Guadarrama, political director of Sierra Club Florida said.





I realize this isn't what you were talking about but it does prove a point.
Nonniey , let me ask you a question, after Enron and Bernie Madoff two things that lost Billions for thousands of people , people went Bankrupt lost their homes . their retirements, don't you think they need to be regulated?


I'm assuming you meaning more alone this line, sad that they are needed.

Federal antitrust laws prevent unfair business practices that reduce competition. The following practices are banned:

Conspiring to fix prices: Competing businesses cannot work together to set prices.

Price discrimination: Businesses cannot charge different prices to different customers for the same product.

Conspiring to allocate markets or customers: Competing businesses cannot agree to split sales areas or customers in an effort to eliminate competition.

Conspiring to or forming a monopoly: Businesses are prohibited from creating a monopoly with the goal of reducing competition.

So the amount that Amon is going to get taxed is now going viral. For years I thought the tax differences between states would effect free agency, but it never really did. Now I think it will be noticed and it is only a matter of time until the NFLs competitiveness is effected. Harris should take that into account and build his stadium in state/City with the lowest income taxes.

This doesn't discount anything my article says. It's absolute bullshit that he has to pay damn near half his salary in taxes.
