Larger Federal Deficits & Higher Interests Rates Point to the Need for Urgent Action

Increased federal spending in response to COVID-19, as well as rising interest rates, have added to our nation’s financial woes. At $2.8 trillion, the FY 2021 budget deficit was the second largest in history—just short of the FY 2020 deficit of $3.1 trillion. These historically large deficits...

Do you understand that the information you posted above about the 80% of the money in circulation in the US was printed in the last 2 years is completely false?

Then remove it if it bothers you so much. NOBODY here is right ALL the time.
Its an article I copied and pasted. I didnt write it. Readers can decide whether they want to believe it or not.

I remember you making a post that gas prices rose .13 cents when they had clearly risen far more than that.

And as I pointed out to you back then, a couple times since then, and a couple days ago, what I said was factually accurate, and what you're saying is not.

And now that you know it's false, you could acknowledge it and denounce it, but you choose to leave it there, post lies, then tell people they can make up their own mind, for unknown reasons.

The reason the article is copied - true or false doesn't matter - is because it supports a particular way of looking at the world. That's called an promoting an "agenda". What do you not understand about that?

MossRoad, why can't you understand that some of us simply cannot acknowledge that our agenda might be wrong? That would mean that our cherished opinions are wrong. And that is impossible.

Kinda like all these people posting saying that oil production is declining, when in fact it is at record levels. Agenda? Keep repeating BS enough and people will believe it’s true.

Some would rather muddy the water than face the real facts because the real facts would lead to something inconvenient to their agenda.

Several times over the 20 something years I've been here, I've posted things that I thought were accurate. People pointed out to me that they were not and why. I researched and acknowledged that I was incorrect and thanked them for pointing it out to me.

Inaccurate information has to be pointed out, because if it's repeated enough, people start to believe it. You can't just let it lay there and hope people figure out it's crap on their own. Maybe it's my 30 years of working at a family owned newspaper, or maybe my parents just taught me to be truthful. I think it's a combination of both.

Why would anyone want their name associated with lies and inaccuracies? That's an agenda I do not understand, and won't put up with, and will call it out any time I see it.

I don't go around mis-quoting people repeatedly just to try and get a rise out of them or make them look bad in my eyes to justify my actions, or hope that if I spread enough crap around a thread it'll get moved to the front porch so I can hide behind closed doors and keep spreading the falsehoods.

Stand out here in the public, state your case based on fact, acknowledge your mistakes if you make them, and move along with more knowledge in your toolbox.

Outstanding attitude!! Well said!!

Everybody screws up...solid fact of life and I'm surely not exempting myself.
Best suggestion, acknowledge it, apologize if necessary and move on with your life
