Ha, right. Sure. Can’t even get Republicans to finish funding Covid relief programs. |
We need tax breaks to the poor people / not COVID relief. Jumpstart the economy again not create reliance on big spending that caused inflation - as Beezos and Musk have noted. More to the point, the fact you can’t accept the we sent billions to the Ukraine for a worthless war is even more telling |
| Bezos was correct…..think how bad the economy would be if Biden got his way and blew another couple of trillion into an overheated economy? This administration is absurdly inept. |
Giving you that money would just drive up the price of gas more. The problem with gas right now is supply - Saudis/Russia/OPEC purposely decreased supply and GOP-aligned American drillers refuse to reopen wells they closed during COVID. They are gunning for Biden. If I was Biden, I'd take some money from Defense budget and start offering big no-bid contracts to anyone who can start repumping a shuttered well within 30 days. Give some new entrants a chance to eat into the territory of Establishment drillers who are squatting on leases with no movement. |
| Biden has powerfully restocked the shelves in my supermarket. Not so long ago, the news was full of stories about shortages. Today my local stores are full of products. Thank you President Biden! |
| The U.S. economy is still doing well and recovering. Everyone I know is better off than two years ago. |
Polls suggest otherwise. Most Americans are much worse off than two or three years ago. Most Americans think the country is headed the wrong direction Fact remains is the economy stinks, Biden could have done a lot and instead pushed for 40 billion in aid. He could have given that money back to the people for tax returns or something better |
You probably know a lot of high earning professionals. Give it 6 months. Layoffs are starting in tech, but other industries will end up cutting to either stay profitable or get more profitable |

Walmart, Target, and Lowes all posted pretty weak earnings. Target acknowledged.thet they are starting to see.chsnges in consumption by consumers who haveess income.
Read the writing on the wall. The economy is about to fall off a cliff as consumer consumption contracts big time due to inflation and the prices for food and fuel. Walmart, Target, Lowe's....they're.all now reporting the worst case scenario of getting crushed at the margins due to.labor and inventory costs spiraling out of control. It's only a matter.lf time before layoffs hit. This is looking very bad. A soft landing my behind. We are headed for a fiery crash of epic proportions. Too much stimulus money, govt handouts, easy monetary policy. Literally a repeat of the Japanese 80s bubble that exploded. This enite economy is a sham built on a diabetic sugar rush of govt intervention and money printing. Bubbles always end so badly. |
This is why gas prices are high. Combined with Saudis/OPEC cutting supply and Russian sanctions. Get existing wells opened and operating in 30 days. That should be a national security priority.
