Deflation is Coming?Ā Florida Dems Voting Records & Polling AbsurditiesĀ ā€“ August 17th, 2022Ā 

  1. Mark my words. The dubiously named ā€œInflation Reduction Actā€, which as Iā€™ve depicted, to the extent it stands to impact inflation ā€“ would increase it. With President Biden back in D.C., his first official action was to sign the tax increase and spending plan into law. Hence why I dubbed it the...Screw Your Act. As I mentioned in breaking this down recently... Aside from the stuck on stupid maneuver of raising taxes during a recession (not that thereā€™s ever a good time to do it), is new spending on a host of leftist wish lift items totaling $433 billion. Now, weā€™re already in a recession brought about by 41-year high inflation, brought about by Bidenā€™s energy policy and last yearā€™s American Rescue Plan Act. Yes, I know they say that mythically more revenue will be generated over many years than this will spend over the short term. But youā€™d have to be stuck on stupid to believe them. Remember these are the same people who said they were rescuing America with their legislation last year, told you inflation was only transitory when it hit and now will tell you weā€™re not in a recession when weā€™re in one. Iā€™ll make this simple. Higher taxes donā€™t equal a better economy. Ever. More government debt spending doesnā€™t equal less inflation. Ever. Right, but make no mistake, the timing of this wasnā€™t a coincidence. Inflation peaked in June because the recession began to take a significant toll on demand in this country and around the world. So, Biden administration/Congressional Democrat policy created the inflation that created the recession that began to lead to less demand and thus a slightly lower rate of inflation. And now with the passage of this legislation ā€“ they're going to claim that their tax and spend plan ā€“ the Screw You Act ā€“ is responsible for lower inflation going forward. Mark my words. Theyā€™ve treated us as though weā€™re stupid right along, this will be no different. Although, given that President Biden said inflation was zero last month (when it was in fact 8.5%), heā€™ll have a hard time reconciling his story in the future regarding the impact of this Act. Maybe heā€™ll say inflation is subzero in the future? Speaking of numbers...Ā 
  2. A tale of two numbers. Hereā€™s the first one. 36%. Whatā€™s that? President Bidenā€™s current approval rating in Florida. Hereā€™s the second one. 100%. Thatā€™s the voting record of every Florida DemocratĀ in Congress (save one ā€“ Stephanie Murphy who isnā€™t running is at 97.1%) in favor of President Biden's agenda. Charlie Crist ā€“ 100% with Biden. Val Demmings ā€“ 100% with Biden. Lois Frankel, The Hat (Frederica Wilson) ā€“ all 100% in favor of President Bidenā€™s agenda. There has been no distance between Floridaā€™s Congressional Democrats and President BidenĀ of which 64% of Floridians do not approve. Ironically, as Charlie Crist is now running his Obama hug campaign, attempting to prove that he really was a democrat, when he was a republican, but prior to becoming an independent ā€“ in an effort win the Democratā€™s primary for governor... His voting record is the best evidence heā€™s got. You canā€™t vote harder left than Charlie has in congress, just like all of Floridaā€™s Democrats. So, if you like Joe Biden, youā€™ll love Charlie Crist. But then again, isnā€™t that part of his problem? Heā€™s completely supported such a failed agenda for a failed president that heā€™s having to run on 13-year-old footage of him hugging the big Oā€™. And speaking of two numbers here are two more... Ā 
  3. Fried +4%, Crist +32%. What are those? The results of two separate polls conducted yesterday. Yeah, no kidding. The University of North Floridaā€™s polling shows Fried primed for what would be considered aĀ bigtime upset win next Tuesday. Pollster St. Pete Polls shows Nikkiā€™s alreadyĀ beenĀ waxed and just hasnā€™t officially been informed yet. The University of North Florida polling purported a margin of error rate of 3.4%. The St. Pete Poll sports a margin of error rate of 2.7%. Whatā€™s this show?Ā One of these pollsters is completely full of poo. You could apply the maximum margin of error to both of these polls and still end up with a result one week from election day thatā€™s separated by 30-points. This is but the latest example of why so many people donā€™t trust polls and why itā€™s absurd to ever pick just one of them to latch onto or report on as the case may be. And btw, the poll which shows Fried is set to pull the big upset win next Tuesday is one which also shows Rubio trailing Demmings by 4. But then again that same pollster had Biden winning Florida two years ago and Gillum and Nelson winning four years ago. In fact, their track record is so awful ā€“ they've historically been wrong more than theyā€™ve been right. Only 40% of their polling results have proven accurate ā€“ which means their polling result in reality, is likely bad news for Fried and good news for Rubio. Ā
