========== Inflation is being driven by external factors beyond Biden's control. The biggest single factor is energy prices, driven by oil production cuts in Russia and Saudi Arabia intended to increase prices. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/14/inflation-prices-supply-chain/ Government spending is not driving it. But reducing government spending and lowering taxes always sound good to major donors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/11/10/inflation-white-house-manchin/ If the GOP were in power, they'd make it worse by cutting taxes and reducing the social safety net, busting unions, and then say be patient and let the free market work. Being out of power, they say Biden should do something - anything - so they can criticize him either for doing or not doing. The free market will work to resolve the supply-chain part of inflation - eventually - but probably not in time to influence the 2022 election. #PS1recovery ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-11-11 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Inflation is being driven by external factors beyond topic recovery wordrate 0 words 132 epoch Lifetime ID 1537459353265245 impress 7 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "11/11/2021 06:11" reach 6 title "Inflation puts White House on defensive as Manchin raises concerns about new spending" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1537459353265245 ========== GOP blames Biden for supply chain inflation - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/26/business/economy/biden-inflation.html It takes time to train and equip thousands of new truck drivers.

They lost thousands of foreign truck drivers after Brexit. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/27/business/britain-budget-sunak.html Just think of all those brilliant MBA's who drove cost out of their corporations with offshore outsourcing and just-in-time logistics. It worked great as long as it worked - but now all that cost is driving back home.

Domestic leisure air travel has recovered and fares are rising - no business travelers paying extra to subsidize leisure travel. https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/25/business/plane-ticket-airlines-airfare/index.html Atlanta employers are discovering - creeping communism! - workers are costing more too. https://www.ajc.com/ajcjobs/labor-shortages-end-when-wages-rise-say-some-local-businesses/ZJGBDTEXOBFSXEH6WLCZCU6DNA/ There are plenty of workers - just not for lousy jobs in lousy conditions for lousy pay and lousy benefits. Some employers have bowed to capitalist economics and raised wages, but of course the mainstream GOP response is to cut unemployment benefits in hopes of forcing those those workers back to lousy jobs with lousy pay. GOP job creator donors approve, so what's the problem? #PS1recovery ===== impact 11 impactrate 0 likeimpress 1 negative 0 posted 2021-05-26 ratio 0 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Economic recovery means things cost more! topic recovery wordrate 0 words 105 engaged 1 epoch Lifetime ID 1422723108072204 likeimpress 1 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "05/26/2021 13:05" title "Labor shortages end when wages rise, say some local businesses" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1422723108072204 ========== "There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech#Bryan_addresses_the_convention Bimetallism didn't last long but the difference between ideas of government persists - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/09/difference-between-trump-tax-cuts-biden-relief-bill-one-chart/ It's the difference between minority rule for the donors and majority rule for the voters. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html Any time Republicans want to talk about budget deficits, let them say which parts of their 2017 billionaire tax relief they are willing to repeal! https://www.one-flat-tax.net/ #PS1recovery https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/03/09/difference-between-trump-tax-cuts-biden-relief-bill-one-chart/ ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-03-10 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title "There are two ideas of government.
