I’m shocked there’s no blame being put on the trillion dollar spending bills that have been passed the last two years. But of course that would make politicians responsible. Our government spending is out of control and mostly to blame for all of this. Putin is not the root cause, and if you believe that then you are a victim of propaganda.

Thank you. This is the only correct answer in this entire thread. If you spend $100T, only have $1T, and print the rest using make believe dollar bills, what do you expect to happen? There's literally not enough capital in America to pay for what the congress is signing checks for.

Narration to justify crisis. Yes, that is what I can see in Europe too. Prices of energy was rising around 3 months before invasion, overall prices are rising since 2021. And now we should believe that it is because of Putin. And if you are not agree, then you are supporting invasion and consuming Russian propaganda. This is ridiculous.

I think most individuals keyed in and paying attention have been aware and saying this since the original stimulus under Trump. And at the time it was "yes inflation will be an outcome, but it may be better than burning it down in the short term". Most anyone I spoke with that had even a basic "macroeconomics 101" level of understanding or took any time to manage their own investment portfolio said this. But then it came time to put the meat in the with potatoes. And there was little, if any, oversight in the distribution. A LOT of money was handed out to both individuals and companies that frankly didnt need it. And then the Biden admin added more and more. Most that i recall seemed shakey at the prospect initially but understanding of the urgency of action. And outright offended at the implementation/outcome, and then viewed it as ludicrous with the follow ups. These are largely the results coming home to roost. But agian, those were not the majority or even a vocal minority that i saw. You know how many on certain sites will be outright certain xyz is how the masses view something (ie: an election) and then when the actual results come in everyone is shocked and just states that the differing viewpoint is stupid and gross. Well it seems those individuals got their way this time, and even now possibly haven't realized how shortsighted their viewpoints were and still arent connecting the dots.
