This administration has no clue. No link but you can probably find it on Twitter.

If you cut jobs they just get unemployment checks from the government from printed money which just worsens inflation

Correct.

Sending them to gulags is the correct answer.

It’s for the greater good. We can do this.

Maybe I should have stayed at Holiday Inn..... how exactly would increasing unemployment curb inflation? Seems there would need to be a MASSIVE surge of unemployment over an extended period to reduce the amount of liquid cash available to have that kind of effect, and it would be very temporary at best.

Cutting jobs isn't the answer for sure.

Another COVID variant or pandemic with a more lethal agent might be a better government alternative.

Just sayin'

Maybe it's the Federal Reserve system entirely that's at fault....

If they cut ine out of two federal jibs in DC I could go along with that.

All of these people need to be fired. Today. Anyone that wasn't smoking the DNC crack pipe saw the unnecessary spending and forced increase in energy costs as triggering this inflation.

Unemployment checks should only run for 3 months. They can get work making breakfast hotdogs for Mexican working men.

Can it be government jobs?

IRS, FBI, DOJ, EPA, Dep of State?

Not defending the guy, but yeah. Rising unemployment is the result of intentional economic slowdown through rising interest rates and quantitative tightening.

Ever since the last rate increase, there has been constant talk about the the Fed “pivoting.” What key data point will cause the Fed to stop raising rates? Rising unemployment.

It's not though that's the problem. They will make it worse though.

When you accept the fact that every move that is being made is intentional and aimed at driving this country off of the proverbial cliff as fast as possible... It starts to make sense...

No administration is this inept, this out of touch with reality, regardless of if its figure head is a Turnip or not...

At least when perishing in the gulag, you'll know that you're saving the planet for Bill Gates.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard from an admin chock full of stupidity.

Actually no it isn’t the stupidest but still plainly stupid.

Obvious answer is to have the FBI continue to seize money from the banks to cut down on money supply.

Also a new virus to kill more old people and a huge tax on their wealth left behind
