Political Debate Heats Up Over Inflation Softening as President Biden Dares Impeachment, Federal Reserve’s Actions Under Scrutiny, and Consumer Prices Surge, Raising Concerns among Voters
In recent political debates, there is a contentious issue surrounding the softening of inflation rates. As reported by NY Sun, President Biden‘s statement daring Republicans to impeach him due to the decline in inflation is met with criticism. The reality is that the decrease in inflation is attributed to the Federal Reserve’s actions of tightening money supply and raising interest rates, not the President’s policies. While inflation has indeed eased, approximately 35 percent of voters disapprove of Biden’s economic policies, primarily concerning inflation.
According to reports, over the past 30 months, consumer prices have risen significantly, with grocery prices up 20 percent and energy prices up 33 percent. The President’s critics point out that these increases have negatively impacted everyday Americans, particularly when compared to the pre-election gasoline price of $2 per gallon, which has risen to around $3.75 nationwide.

Experts Debunk Phillips Curve Theory and Highlight Concerns Over Inflationary Pressures and Government Spending’s Long-Term Impact on the Economy
Despite the decrease in inflation, there are concerns that it may not be entirely eliminated, as recent rallies in commodities, gold, and oil indicate. According to NY Sun, the traditional economic theory suggesting that lower inflation necessitates higher unemployment, known as the Phillips Curve, is being challenged by some economists, including Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller. He argues that there are sufficient job openings to mitigate labor force tightening, disproving the Phillips Curve theory, as reported.
Some economists, classified as classical supply-siders, contend that inflation is a monetary problem rather than a result of low unemployment. Reports said that they believe the inflation rate can be lowered with stable gold-commodity values of the dollar and increased production of goods. However, critics argue that Bidenomics, characterized by increased government spending, may contribute to inflationary pressures, with deficits and debt borrowing potentially forcing the Federal Reserve to print excessive cash, thus driving up commodities and reducing the dollar’s value.
While there is no call for impeachment, there are concerns that the current policies could lead to long-term consequences for the nation’s economy. The focus is on the need for sustainable economic growth with lower inflation and the potential impacts of the government’s spending choices on the country’s future.
