Joe Biden dismantling the Keystone Project is one of the reasons of this inflation. Biden is a weak leader simple and short.

God bless Donald John Trump
I haven't read something more stoopid this year.

The same amount of oil that keystone would have transported is still being transported via rail and trucks.

Biden must have also been responsible for inflation in Germany, Canada, UK and many other countries even before Ukraine vs Russia.

I can bet my Ph.D that is the best news for investors in America or do you prefer high inflation?
Raising interest rate is the sensible thing for addressing inflation, but it's not good news for investors, because it increases the cost of money. Fyi, I am not saying it's a bad thing.

What has Biden got to do with a hike in interest rate? Do you know all the components in the inflation figure? Or you folks just like to entertain yourselves.

Why not concentrate on your President that absconded from his post in the time of national crisis? What caliber of a leader does that?

I think it's pragmatic to say we are now in a multi polar world. The western hegemony over global affairs has now significantly diminished.

The western power wasted the last 20 yrs exporting democracy and freedom by fire by force, while serious countries focused on prosperity and economic freedom.
Well the report card is out and we know the winners and losers.

I hope western nations have learnt their lessons. The idea of imposing democracy and freedom over all cultures will now take a backstage.
People and nations should decide their affairs and chart their own pathway to prosperity as it suits them.
Enough of bombing every nation into democracy and human rights. Not everyone wants to live like European.

Europe still have the refugee crisis to deal with...an aftermath of their reckless interference on foreign soils. If not handled properly, Europe will implode and may lead to unending civil wars among different cultures that will constitute the new Europe - ethnic whites, arabs, north africnas, asians, blacks, mixed race...its going to be a big mess.

The future for Africa isn't too bright. I doubt there will an upward movement in the pyramidal scale for Africa. Except there's an intellectual revolution, I really dont see how prosperity can be established on African soil.

Great vid insights, the problem actually started not from the Bill Clinton Presidency, but when the US
dollars was removed from the gold standard in the early 1970s. Some people also do not realise that in 1974, New York went bankrupt... But later recovered!

So we live in a world of business
and economic cycles... Cycles of
boom and bust. America will rise
economically again if things go
south in 2022 because of gasoline
price increases and inflation.

Context bro, context! If too much money is already in circulation, why would they spend less? Stimulus checks, loan forgiveness, child tax credits etc, there's so much money in circulation that demand for products and services are very very high leading to higher cost of goods and services.

The businesses continue to raise price because demand keeps increasing at an higher pace than production. For example, I bought a $400,000 house in December 2021, it is March 2022 now and that same property is being valued at $490,000, I did a test run and I received 3 offers well above the asking price of $490,000. This my friend is what the feds are trying to combat, without putting a barrier to borrowing, prices will continue to skyrocket not only in real estate but in every commodity/service.

Thank you for the rescue. Sometimes one fill downcast with the level of ignorance that are exhibited in many posts and contributions on issue here. Someone will sit in his/her village and will be authoritatively discussing American issue with any requisite knowledge.
I appreciate your write up, I hope it will enlighten some people.
I saw someone talking about Keystone pipeline, this was a project that will not have finish this year if it was not stop. It is meant to trasport crude oil and is not adding anything to US production. The oil production in US is still rising and many companies have not utilize the license to drill that government granted them. Notwithstanding, people will continue to post how it was Biden that is not allow America to produce oil .
So much ignorance everywhere.

Would you rather increase the cost of money or decrease the value of money? Think about it seriously, what good will it be to be granted loan of 1 million dollars when it only has a value of 500,000 dollars? As an investor you always want to edge against inflation, you want to make sure your returns/profits makes sense.

America is Mystery Babylon spoken about in the book of Isaiah and Revelation. She is under God's judgement and no matter what America does, she will no longer succeed because God has removed His hand from her. In a prophetic dream, God showed me that New York City was being attacked. Many people have had similar dreams. So get ready for what's coming to America. The high inflation, high gasoline prices, food shortages, supply chain shortages, labor shortages and the great resignation amongst others is just the beginning of America's woes.

Go to the "Master's Voice Prophecy Blog" on YouTube and educate yourselves. And no, it is not my blog or YouTube channel in case you're wondering.

So you don't know that the very amount for COVID has been arrogantly diverted to Ukraine.
nextstep:
Well this has been anticipated, not sure why the new uses words like "surprise move"...

1. the Fed had long ago signaled interest rates will rise as the economy recovers from covid
2. there was speculation that the Fed would delay the rate rise in view of the Ukraine crisis
3. rates went up anyway, since inflation is becoming a thing, and the economic impact of the war is still uncertain

Imagination of the kind of people that support somebody like Trump is a big pointer that Nigeria has no hope. How on earth will people prefer someone like Trump to rule? Biden may be a total waste of time but to think Trump is better than him or better option is totally insane.

Which new investor wants to invest in a country that can just wake up one day to seize your investments because of the action of the government of your country? Which blessing when this hurt the purchasing power of the consumers? The US and UK are in deep economic quagmire. I predict more hike in another three months grin grin grin
