interesting fact

If the economy is so great, why is Amazon and other countries laying off so many employees? It is certainly not because their sales have increased. And exactly why are our local restaurants closing early in the middle of the day because of lost of staffing or restaurants not having indoor seating because of no staff to wait on you? Biden says it is a booming economy. I think he meant an explosion to our economy. The fool cannot get his words correct like even knowing the difference between his sister and his wife.

Look at your own spending for necessities, have you noticed anything since Blunder became president? Ask your neighbors and relatives how the economy looks to them. Different picture than Biden is painting.

Because most people have to work two jobs to afford groceries.

Biden says inflation was already here under Trump . So to combat the Trump inflation the Biden administration raised everyone's payments,

Hmmmm, now what administration lied about the unemployment prior to the mid term election? Experts were predicting 187,000 jobs through their talks with companies, The top sector for new jobs was leisure and hospitality with 128,000 jobs. So all of a sudden, Americans went to work for McDonalds and Holiday Inn. Could be possible if working people took a second job to pay for Christmas because of inflation. But hardly high paying jobs and if a second job, does it really affect the employment rate? The government hired 74,000 people, Was this new jobs or replacing previous administrations? What happen to the people lost jobs in the government or is the government expanding that quick? Health Care added 58,000 jobs. Is this the nurses who got their back after refusing the Covid shots? Joe has something to talk about for the state of the union but is it real or smoke and mirrors?

The solution is for the government to spend less than the government takes in.

So don't buy it, whiner.

Thanks Biden voters.

Good thing Republicans can stop the next $4,000,000,000,000 spending package.

Are YO calling for exorbitant interest rates?

Powell and the feds pretty much surrendered to inflation yesterday with only a quarter point raise in interest rates. Anyone with half a brain knows you can't hope to contain rampant inflation with a federal funds rate of 4.75%. The last time inflation was this bad Volcker took rates to 20%.

Everybody know ole Blunder has this economy humming like a well oiled machine. Until you go to the grocery store, trade cars, or buy eggs. We only need more illegal immigrants to help not fill the jobs.

Could it possibly be because of wildly excessive spending by the government?

Rich people need the US Treasury bonds to park there money in when they pull it out of the stock market. That's why we have such a debit. Instead of the rich paying tax on the money they make, they get us to pay them intrest while they manipulate various markets such as stocks and oil futures. With out somewhere to safely park money they can't do business as they have since the 80's. Also, that is why there will not be a default. This debit fight is a great way of manipulating and with a little inside info provided by your personal bought off politician, lots more money can be made by the insiders.
