Biden Economy - Inflation to Stagflation . Link to article.

EXCERPT from Article. Please read article, it explains how a good economy was built and is going bad under the guise of covid.

“With the FED pumping money into the U.S. system, the dollar value plummets. At the same time, JoeBama dropped tariff enforcement to please the Wall Street multinational corporations and banks that funded his campaign. Now the value of the Chinese and EU currency increases. This means it costs more to import products, and that is the primary driver of price increases in consumer goods.

Simultaneously, a lower dollar means cheaper exports for the multinationals (Big AG and raw materials). China, SE Asia and even the EU purchase U.S. raw materials at a lower price. That means less raw material in the U.S. which drives up prices for U.S. consumers. It is a perfect storm. Higher costs for imported goods and higher costs for domestic goods (food). Combine this dynamic with massive increases in energy costs from ideological policy, and that’s fuel on a fire of inflation.

Annualized inflation is now estimated to be around 8 percent, and it will likely keep increasing. This is terrible for wage earners in the U.S. who are now seeing no wage growth and higher prices. Real wages are decreasing by the fastest rate in decades. We are now in a downward spiral where your paycheck buys less. As a result, consumer middle-class spending contracts. Eventually, this means housing prices drop because people cannot afford higher mortgage payments.

Gasoline costs more (+50%), food costs more (+10% at a minimum) and as a result, real wages drop; disposable income is lost. Ultimately this is the cause of Stagflation. A stagnant economy and inflation. None of this is caused by COVID-19. All of this is caused by economic policy and monetary policy sold under the guise of COVID-19.

This inflationary period will not stall out until the U.S. economy can recover from the massive amount of federal spending. If the spending continues, the dollar continues to be weak, as a result the inflationary period continues. It is a spiral that can only be stopped if the policies are reversed…. and the only way to stop these insane policies is to get rid of the Wall Street democrats and republicans who are constructing them.”

Thoughts?

I'm afraid the ship has sailed. I don't see any way that these policies will be reversed in the next 3 1/2 years. We are all sitting and watching it unfold in real time and there isn't much we can do about any of it. Elections (even stolen/fraudulent ones) have consequences.

Invest wisely to increase your discretionary income, and don't use that discretionary income...just keep re-investing.

Do you, it's the only thing you can control. Think of it as a zero sum game, and you're the Sun Tzu at the table...swinging your dick like Joe Burrow and this is a game you refuse to lose.

Money never sleeps pal...now go to work.

Will never be reversed. Our debt is too large to overcome. It's only a matter of time.

We're like a college freshman with a newly maxed out credit card that thinks everything is fine:

"I've got a new PlayStation, TV, eat out every night. The credit card company keeps raising my credit limit. What could go wrong?".

I'm still in favor of a poster needing 500+ posts on the forum before having the ability to start a thread.

Easy loophole - I would just blast a bunch of Kige This replies and get my 500 validated, like Southpark did with the wilderbeests in the Sword of a Thousand Truths to kill the pop locking John Travolta dude.

Good episode btw.

I don’t understand how people cannot see what’s happening and where it will lead. They won’t believe it until they’re economically impacted. Once you see what has happened you can’t unsee it and it is sickening. This isn’t a partisan issue, it’s for our survival as the USA and free people, and for our children.
The corrupt creed for power, control, and money by the few has been planned and is working. Bitter is the pill you chose but can’t stomach once you don’t feel the euphoria you sought.

I’m an old LSU alum who has read here for years but never posted. I’m a newbie poster with something I have an opinion on that I wanted to express and get feedback.
Fair enough?

"Powerman" will be here to tell us how that is completely wrong and hyperinflation is actually a good thing.

Yeah, everything is great until you run out of other people’s money to spend and the free stuff runs out. People think it won’t affect them until it really bites.

Fair enough with me. I'm a noob as well, Poli Board are good people. Just stay clear of those Nawlins Yats and public high school Baton Rouge dipshits on the OT. Had to slap them around a time or two and finally just settled on Poli, TR, and Money...with an occassional flip back to the OT just to catch the pulse.

going to get bad


it's bad now, but we've got a long way to go until we hit bottom

even the Federal Reserve and other central banks are starting to express the need to taper the buying of mortgage backed securities and treasury bonds to stop pumping artificial dollars into the economy, but they can't really stop this activity or interest rates will rise and we will owe more money on our obscene debt.

Not to mention with Delta on the rise, they might even feel compelled to double down on their loose monetary policy. Inflationary pressures are going to be enormous and because everyone is afraid of inflation now, they will alter their behavior to prepare for it thus making it somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy as people will demand higher wages, people will feel that they can raise prices in expectation of inflation, etc.

a long time and the levels of QE we had was likely unsustainable before, but it has accelerated dramatically and the timeframe for dollar devaluation has accelerated with it
