Did the COVID Stimulus Cause Inflation? | The Problem With Jon Stewart

Either side can twist these factors into their narrative. Unfortunately, if there is inflation then even the corporations have to pay more and pay people more which means that they have to raise their margins to meet inflation. Keep twisting facts to your narrative whether you ate left or right.

You heard him.....70% inflation while our paid politicians havent done a budget since 1997.

This is only half right. The cost is laid off to the world.

Hey John and crew!
First off, and this is for real, I'm going to try and run for president. I want to have you on my team John.
Of course I love your shows and channel, and, everyone, and you, too. ( an impression I hope you don't mind) You deserve Sainthood or whatever the Judaic equivalent to that is.
I hear truth coming out of your mouth. It cycles in circles around the same topics. For years now. Today with the woke being so woke, (no offense to the woke) and stuff, there seems to be a mis, or dis -something, somewhere. I hope it's not a hopeless feeling, but it must be exhausting. You say the same things year after year, as those who came before you. Like Cronkite, Jennings, or Mathau, rather,. )
What can be done about it? Seems to be the most obvious question. I have some ideas that I know can be bettered through Brian storming, slapped on a canvas, molded, and shaped into something substantial. I truly believe in my capabilities to solve problems. I also believe in your capabilities. Together with other cabinet members. Which can be a group decisions. You feel me. We can solve all this fairly and equally so that everyones happy. Mostly happy anyway. Can't please everyone. At least minimize the unhappy ones. A sad truth to life.  
However, renegotiations, in Defense, Education, Health, making sure the boat doesn't tip over. Morale for as many as we can.  Rich as well as poor. All the topics that affect daily life, in so many ways. On so many levels, have solutions. I'm positive if I had the right team that we could find those solutions.  
I run my own business, so I don't have any videos on my channel. I'm shooting right now. I can't say when they'll be out. Long story involving divorce. I was actually going to run when trump got elected. My ex highly discouraged me that year.  
It's been a year and a half now. I'm good.  
I'll reiterate I was ready to run.  
I can debate really well also.  
It feels like round two coming up, 
I need your help John.  
What do you say?
A daunting task to say the least, no? With the time before the election.
A challenge for sure.
I'm an unknown. A wild card, new to the arena, but I got the skills to pay the bills. I can't go through trump trying to destroy my country again.
Take care John, everyone.

Unfortunately thats not what the government did , PPP went to people, ARP went to corporate lobbyists

Oh Jon maybe you should call out the fact that shutdowns had a cataclysmic impact on our economy. The money printing just exacerbated it, in no measurable did lockdowns help out country. But he's being a good boy and not calling that out. He's a smart guy that doesn't do much research much like Bill Maher, but maybe someday he will deviate from his comfort of reading the same retread stories that tell us unemployment is the only measurement of a good economy.

Hes funny and sometimes he hits the nail on the head. But he also has to remember he does the exact same thing as those corporate fat cats. I guarantee he is getting paid 100x what the camera man is on his show. Hell I imagine he out earns his whole staff by a significant amount.

Rules for thee but not for me .

Yeah and this is what they are blaming Trump for, helping people his part in the deficit as Joe’s is destroying the deficit

Stewart is such a fuc^*ng 🤡 This one is just getting started. Yeah unemployment isn’t as bad as it was in 08, but what about inflation? We’re supposed to just be happy with paying 30% more for groceries and rent? And double the interest rate on a mortgage? And high gas prices? And rising energy prices? Yeah John, everything is fine🤦🏻🙄

the government is also not supposed to put so many people in such a desperate situation that creates more problems like this and others. desperate people do desperate things

Yeah printing money wasn't a factor....or shipping pallets of cash overseas 🙄
Massive inflation isnt rocket science to figure out

Bullshit!!!!! Printing money is the only reason!!!

RIGHT ON! CORP. SOCIALISM RULES OUR NATION! DEVILS RUN OUR GOVT!

I'm glad Jon will always be here to gaslight me

It is possible that a booming migrant population is the cause of higher than anticipated profit margins. 📈 The demand increases sharply drives up costs and the government then scapegoats the grocers for having increased profits then giving them the ability to pander for an increase of taxation, price fixing and/or regulations

Both are wrong. Printing money hurts everyone, but only major corporations can afford to push the cost off on everyone else.

Thank you!

we didn't doll out trillions out in 08. the sum of the capital for the banks was less than 300 billion which is still a huge amount, but the government CREATED the lockdown and FORCED business closure. That's what cost and still costs the economy trillions.

First off, corporations is a dirty word for employers. The ONLY way to create inflation is to print more money and spend more money. Period.

fun fact, we would've recovered FASTER without the stimulus of 08. that caused inflation and depressed the recovery.

Inflation was caused by demoKKKrats giving Ukraine money. Theres billions in Ukraine which could of be sent to americans.

(coughs) certain people had friends in Wall Street that wanted a bail out in 2008 under the Obama Administration. But who profited the most out of all this? The people who had first hand information, the governors, and the rest of the special interes groups.

The rest is our government printing dollars and devaluing the money supply. Wake TFU😂

Crazy how the red line went up into the negative %’s. That’s dope.

First of all the Bailout never came until 2009. Passed in December 2008, frauds against it organized and executed all throughout 2009.

Homeowners who should have bought lower rather than higher, homeowners who should have been saving for a fixed rate re-fi rather than taking holiday , homeowners and business who lacked interest in protecting themselves from failure. Meanwhile back at the ranch the fed forced money on ALL the banks whether they needed it or not just like they did with the people during the pandemuc. I was working and still got stimulus. Shouldnt have but did. Felt guilty so I gave it to someone who needed it less than myself. Stimulus put money in the hands of the american citizens to buy votes. That stimulus was happening whether the house wanted to vote on it or not. It is the last 100 gallons of our economy draining out of the tub.

So basically our govt has allowed these greedy corporations to price gouge after a global pandemic.

Shouldn’t that be illegal?

Just run for president already, zelinski proved smart comedians are where its at.

Yes. Walmart wants their money back.

Can Ron Stewart run as President I'll surely vote for him.

Government spending causes inflation.
Socialists cause confusion.

Another cretinous comment from Jon "Work will set you free" Stewart the millionaire socialist. How would non- workers pay for anything genius? Oh you mean retirees, the homeless, children etc.😂

The so called health crisis was government caused.The flu season became a two year extended financial Armageddon, and the government expects us to be grateful for crumbs thrown our way.

Capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich

I never receive anything from the goverment not even one stimulos check

Only govt causes inflation. Prices reflect inflation

Maybe the government shouldn’t have shut down the economy in the first place.

You couldn’t be dumber if you tried

Jon Stewart is not an economist. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Every economist I've watched online says the only thing that can drive inflation is government spending. It's going up because we have to borrow money for China to spend it on Ukraine.

I used to love Jon Stewart. I used to love Rachel Maddow. But they are so one dimensional now, so extremely annoying. Why? Why are you that way?

Lost my first house

Nothing to do with Biden printing 90% of all money in his first 6months 🤡. Stewart has become such a joke

What a shill … Ugh 🤮

Such dishonesty

A third and nearly 40% are basically the same.

Almost like they are in it together

Bullshit. Look at the money supply in 2019 vs 2021. Fed printed an ASTRONOMICAL amount of money.

Only Kennedy is calling out corporations specifically that's one reason he's not being allowed to debate. Both parties are bogged down on silly issues that effect tiny segnents of the population while greed goes on and on and these politicans get rich on our dine.

So we're ignoring that the money that we spent on stimulus was only a fraction of the money we printed that they use the stimulus payments to excuse unnecessary billions of dollars being sent overseas

Stuart is annoying with his sudden outrage over everything.....shut up and enjoy retirement....

Same guy who supports Mutilating Children

LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!

Completely wrong. Housing was more than 30% of inflation. Why? Because families got $10,000 checks to buy houses and TVs and cars which drove up demand and other prices.

Omg this is so stupid! Corporations with products whose demand is ineleastic (food, drink, commodities) will have higher profits as a symptom of monetary debasement.

Claiming its causal is big dumb

Do people not understand math?

30% is alot…

So is 40%…

But saying “only 30%” to make it seem small is misleading
