Inflation understanding

Some concerned citizens have begun feeling that the President is oblivious to the causes of rampant inflation and the self-destruction of the economy.  His recent responses in press conferences have been bewildering, to say the least, making many to wonder if he is competent to do the job of being the supreme leader of the free world, and the protector of the concept of human liberty.

Many questioned his mental state when he said that the current 10 percent inflation rate was the result of greed… such as charging 15 bucks for a beer at an NFL football game, or 12 bucks for a lousy bucket of popcorn at your favorite movie theater.  He then said the 60 percent increase in gasoline prices is because people are hording gas, storing it in hundreds of gas cans in their garages, and in some cases, their swimming pools.  And the recent lack of baby formula availability?  All being caused by geriatrics drinking it, instead of Ensure, because they say it tastes better.

The President claims we are not headed for a recession, but just a hiccup in economic growth.  He says he gets rid of hiccups by standing on his head and pretending to be riding a bicycle upside down.  Suggests everyone in the country stop whatever they are doing, and immediately adopt this behavior… and you’ll see, things will begin to look better.  Upside down, but better.
