B-Man Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 The Great Biden Slowdown – here's how he stifled growth, discouraged consumers in just 9 month by Liz Peek Joe Biden has pulled off the incredible: inherit a booming economy and bring it to a near-standstill in just nine months. When the president took office, the country was enjoying a robust V-shaped recovery, growing at better than 6%. The Federal Reserve was puffing up the money supply by $120 billion per month, consumers were sitting atop $2.5 trillion in excess savings, prices were stable and unemployment was falling fast. On Inauguration Day 1.6 million Americans received the COVID vaccine, optimism was rising and people were flush with trillions in relief funds. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-economic-slowdown-inflation-consumers-growth-liz-peek

B-Man Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Procter & Gamble employees issue a warning to America American Thinker, by Andrea Widburg Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs. It’s unlikely that you’ve navigated through life without ever purchasing a product from P&G. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/procter__gamble_employees_issue_a_warning_to_america.html

B-Man Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 Producer inflation picks up in October Producer prices rose 0.6% last month The producer price index for final demand increased 0.6% last month, accelerating slightly from the 0.5% gain in September according to the Labor Department. The reading was in line with what analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting. Prices jumped 8.6% year over year, matching last month’s reading for the largest annual increase on record. Annual price increases have printed at a record pace for seven straight months. The index rose 0.4% in October when excluding food, energy and trade. Analysts were expecting a 0.5% increase after a 0.2% jump in September. Core prices rose 6.8% year over year, matching estimates. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/producer-price-index-october-2021

ALF Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Pandemic causing massive retirements especially truck drivers, most products outsourced tied up in container ships outside ports. Should give big incentives to retired truckers to train new drivers who should be paid to learn. The supply chain will be broke till new workers can step in. The buck does stop with democrats who will get the blame in 22 and 24 if they can't solve inflation and supply shortage.
Dr.Sack Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Trump is my favorite populist socialist President. Trump gave me a bigger stimulus check than Biden did. Biden lied - said $2,000 only got $1,400. Trump also instituted free healthcare during covid. And free jabs. Biden would have never done that, Trump forced his hand. Trump also gave millions of business owners checks to the tune of $4 trillion. This was the largest upwards transfer of wealth in US history. A rising tide lifts all boats, remember? Meanwhile we are waiting for the trickle up. The ensuing inflation is necessary to justify and prevent failing prices so we don’t see baby boom wealth deflate. Do we really want McMansions falling in value? Don’t your kids deserve to inherit a $1 million house and not a $250k house? So what if a few FED presidents, Pelosi & and GOP members made a few hundred million front running stock trades? Corruption is a part of the economy. Greed is good. As Biden privately promised donor class “nothing will fundamentally change.” Except no more Trump socialism.

ALF Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Americans have never been in so much debt Between July and September, US household debt climbed to a new record of $15.24 trillion, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said Tuesday. It was an increase of 1.9%, or $286 billion, from the second quarter of the year. "As pandemic relief efforts wind down, we are beginning to see the reversal of some of the credit card balance trends seen during the pandemic," such as lower spending in favor of paying down debt balances, said Donghoon Lee, research officer at the New York Fed. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/09/economy/fed-household-debt-inflation/index.html
ALF Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Angry about gas prices? Blame Wall Street If you're looking for someone to blame for high gas prices, we're here to help. Hint: It's not President Biden. Here's the deal: Gasoline prices have surged to seven-year highs and are likely to keep climbing. But, as my colleague Matt Egan writes, American oil companies are in no rush to loosen the spigots anytime soon. Why? Shareholders have cajoled oil companies to finally live within their means. Even though US oil prices have surged by more than 65% this year, US oil production is about 14% below where they were at the end of 2019. So basically: Blame Wall Street. Oil and gas companies aren't producing more because they're focused on returning cash to shareholders. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/12/business/oil-gas-biden-portugal-tesla-nightcap/index.html 1 1
