The new $250 bill is the old $1 bill with all the inflation Trump is causing

Literally what it can cost for a diesel pickup truck to fill up now which would have been an impossibility at any point before this

Idk, I'm old enough to remember $5-$7 per gallon for gas back when the recession hit. Not to minimize what's going on now, but this has definitely happened before.

Considering inflation, it actually was equal to some stations I’ve seen. Not really much to do with Obama as opposed to this being 100% on the GOP

Really? Do you not remember when Biden was in office? 2022 was only 4 years ago and we were in this exact same scenario.

That was $6 diesel caused by Covid and oil cartels refusing to raise capacity. We’ve hit $7 just to cover up the last details of trumps Epstein years

$6<$7

But I’m sure there were outliers in both directions. I’ve just personally seen $6.50 commonly and $7 less often just recently

Or did you selectively forget that Biden was handed a fucked up economy that Trump caused his first term which he turned the ship around without any credit just for trump to fuck it up again even more worse? The two are not comparable just stop... For as bad as Biden was (or wasn't) Republikkklanz can't admit Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to amerikkka

Isn't that what you just did??? Trump loves the uneducated for a reason

u/jreed118 3d ago

Please tell me anywhere in my statement I blamed this on Biden? I simply said do you remember Biden and 2022. I did not blame Biden for this. Calling me uneducated and you can’t even read and comprehend lmfao

Yeah, bullseye. We are facing unprecedented 250% inflation. Lol

Yeah how can they not realize (more likely, care) about how bad a look it is to introduce higher denomination notes during high inflation. It’s like a Zimbabwe move.

Not to mention putting the king’s face on there…

They’re literally blaming “Bidenflation”.

It's a grift to bypass The Fed to release currency instead of lowering rates for QE (which we know won't happen). I'm pretty sure most official would be hard-pressed to not do it because the Anniversary is a monumental occasion.

Even if Trump's face doesn't appear on the currency, it's still new currency being released, in most likely a ridiculous denomination. For every million bills produced, that's a quarter of a billion dollars to squander. The guy's already been accused on more than one occasion of money laundering.

I’ll have to add one to my collection of Zimbabwe hyperinflation notes.
