Capitalism is the engine of the economy, it prevents mile long "Soviet Union" type queues waiting to get 2 ounces of bread and a slice of sausage

were they caused by a lack of capitalism or by sanctions?

A lack of capitalism ... and far too much socialism

The problem with top heavy socialism is explained in the Utube video "Public V Private"

I agree with Bias here.

A top economist said what caused this spike in inflation was not Ukraine.
It was bidens excessive spending. His 'Rescue America' package was unwarranted.
It increased US debt unnecessarily.

Capitalism is about the economic facts of a business.
It is always correct. It's like science.

A better society is tempered a bit, but must be led by capitalism

My God the right are idiots

The cost of living is not affected by national debt, which is a fiction

What Is Driving Cost Of Living Crisis?

too much government spending

That and government regulations interfering with who can go to work, who can process and deliver goods and services (supply chains). The war in Ukraine contributes to grain, fertiliser and energy supplies globally. High energy costs here, due to government action in the energy exploration and supply also contribute to the increased cost of production and transport.

Yes, we're still paying for a liberal government in bed with coal companies

Oh? If one recalls, you've always been rather keen on such regulation, dear boy. Your preferred phrase?

BAN THEM.

FD was rather fond of the regulation too - before he became an advocate for wage growth.

You?

Still government regulation, whether one likes it or not.
No?

So this... errr.... lower immigration... how exactly is it supposed to raise costs of living when there are not as many people to compete for goods and services? Market forces all fallen down? Economy controlled by puppet-masters unseen?

Sort of like - "Oh - so the selfish bastards out there are getting less unemployment and can earn more - well - we'll fix that for the Mustaphas - we'll just slap up the prices to suck up their extra dough!"

More crap. In capitalism the truth is distorted by the few who own most of the capital. Capitalism , left unfettered, will eventually put the bulk of the money into the hands of the few. They in turn distort the markets to keep it so.

But of course. I'd say getting a decent plumber or builder or doctor in some areas is probably going to cost you more.

But that's just me. We do know one thing - it's not leading to any real growth in wages. The awards and industrial deals and state government legislation have fixed that.

So all those are imports? Not the tradies I know around here... my doctor is an exception.... sounds like a good reason to return training to our own first.... plenty of good kids missing out for several reasons these days.... full-paying foreign students... quotas .... discrimination .... phoney and non-functioning education system ....
