    that is good, cause we see a shortage of labor right now, but wages are not increasing like they should

    American Fed Up With Biden And The Democrats Screwing Everything Up

    THIS YEAR’S MOST STUNNING POLL FINDING
    [​IMG]
    First the "WaPo/ABC poll that showed Republicans with a 10-point lead among registered voters on the generic Congressional question. That was the widest GOP lead in the 40-year history of that poll, and one might have suspected that it was an outlier. But today, Rasmussen Reports released even more remarkable results. Rasmussen finds the GOP up by 13 points, 51%-38%, on the generic Congressional ballot, among likely voters."

    "Republicans lead by 22 points among independents. With 17% of independents undecided, that lead could grow. Also notable is that 30% of blacks say they would vote Republican if the election were held today."

    Gettin' Fugly for Dems.

    Funny. None of this has slowed down consumer spending.

    Home Depot reports 10% rise in Sales
    Walmart 9.2% rise
    Retail sales road by 1.7%

    I agree republicans are doing a great job selling the narrative and lowering consumer confidence, but the economy is strong and consumer spending is going to be us. Considering the consumer is responsible for 66% of our economy, we're in good shape.

    Wages are increasing, but nearly as fast as Bidenflation's currency value destruction. Biden promised in his creepy whisper voice that he was pursuing policy that would increase workers wages and is usually the case with Biden, he's either lying or a complete idiot, or more likely, both.

    Obama-Rats jumping off the sinking Biden ship.

    Obama admin official: I warned "savvy" Dems about inflation, you know

    "Not much there"​
    Exactly. They are over-credentialed idiots and liars who fancy themselves "experts".

    "Rattner insists in the New York Times that, like Larry Summer, he tried to tell Biden and his team that they were playing with inflationary fire:"
    It's not rocket science. This legislation received no GOP votes, it was a very destructive policy choice now causing real world harm, just as we warned the entire time.

    We told you the entire time that this happy horseshit about "Transitory!" was a load of crap.

    These nimrods ignored basic economic realities, suddenly expanding monetary supply and unneeded stimulus on the back of badly COVID degraded supply chains:
    Clinton Treasury Secretary, Larry "Summers raised the red flag on that third major COVID relief/stimulus package in February, only to get shredded by the Biden administration for his effort. In fact, those warnings didn’t go far enough, Rattner admits. Even the pessimists — himself included — missed the inflationary impact of the supply-chain crisis. He’s not making that mistake with Biden’s Build Back Better proposal, however, both economically and politically":

    BBB is even worse:
    Where do they get the idea that this Administration is going to come clean on anything? They are hiding Biden's dementia and Harris' complete lack of skills for the job she holds or the presidency. This Administration is critical point lying at the first and very base of their project. This entire Administration is based on an unstable pack of lies.
    Well, the base of this Administration's entire lie is Joe Biden.

    the so-called inflation is a supply side issue, it should go down when supply is back, just like oil prices decline when oil prices go back down

    though some will be slower to lower price than they were to raise them... funny how that works
