We could be, but 2008 was based on money bet on shitty loans.

Yep. Put 20% down and shop interest rates and its worked so far, plus you get to enjoy the cool stuff.

The producer price index jumped 9.6 percent in November compared to the same month last year, the highest year-over-year increase since record-keeping began in 2010.

Prices still climbed 6.9 percent when excluding food and energy costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The PPI tracks changes in the sale price of domestically produced goods, and is a key gauge of inflation.

Meanwhile, consumer prices rose 6.2 percent in October compared with the previous year, the highest increase in over 30 years.

inflated cost of goods squeezing corporate profits? G M A F B

You know who's not hurting from inflation? Big business.




A report from FactSet found that firms in the S&P 500 are on track for near-record high profit margins.
Corporate profits have been skyrocketing since the start of the pandemic, and margins keep getting fatter.
That is not what you'd expect to see from skyrocketing inflation, meaning inflation could be less of a problem than widely reported.


the companies in the S&P 500 are on track to post profit margins of 12.9% in the third quarter of this year,

this is the second-highest net profit margin for the index, following only the record-breaking 13.1% margins posted in the second quarter of this year.

Biden/Dems the Keynesians

Biden's COVID-19 Relief Bill Created Millions Of Jobs (https://www.nationalmemo.com/biden-economic-boom)


the American Rescue Plan — the $1.9 trillion spending bill passed (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/biden-signs-stimulus.html) by Democrats and signed into law by President Joe Biden in March — blunted some of the worst economic effects of COVID-19.

"There are many achievements to celebrate, from millions more jobs and higher wages to greater economic security and increased worker power,"

"And even better, we avoided the worst-case alternative: the weaker, slower recovery that was projected if the American Rescue Plan (ARP) had not passed, and deeper harm to those who've historically been left behind by past recoveries."

But after the American Rescue Plan went into effect, unemployment rates fell rapidly with the addition of more than 1.3 million jobs.

At present, the U.S. economy is rebounding roughly eight times faster than it did after 2008.

The American Rescue Plan has been especially crucial for younger and lower-income workers. Using data from the Atlanta Federal Reserve, the Roosevelt Institute found that workers aged 16 to 24 saw a 9.7 percent wage increase, while the bottom quarter of wage-earners saw a 5.1 percent increase — even when accounting for inflation.

Is it a good idea for Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024? And, if he runs again and wins, would it be good for the United States to have a president who is 86 — the age Biden would be at the end of a second term?
I put these questions bluntly because they need to be discussed candidly, not just whispered constantly.
In the 1980s, it was fair game for reputable reporters to ask (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RtXmnUe9s0) whether Ronald Reagan was too old for the presidency, at a time when he was several years younger than Biden is today. Donald Trump’s apparent difficulty holding a glass (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/us/politics/trump-ramp-water-glass-health.html) and his constricted vocabulary repeatedly prompted unflattering speculation (https://www.statnews.com/2017/05/23/donald-trump-speaking-style-interviews/) about his health, mental and otherwise. And Joe Biden’s memory lapses were a source of mirth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE2nUstHQOQ) among his Democratic primary rivals, at least until he won the nomination.
Yet it’s now considered horrible manners to raise concerns about Biden’s age and health. As if doing so can only play into Trump’s hands. As if the president’s well-being is nobody’s business but his own. As if it doesn’t much matter whether he has the fortitude for the world’s most important job, so long as his aides can adroitly fill the gaps. As if accusations of ageism and a giant shushing sound from media elites can keep the issue off the public mind.

It won’t do. From some of his public appearances, Biden seems … uneven. Often cogent, but sometimes alarmingly incoherent (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/09/joe-biden-debate-answer.html). What’s the reason? I have no idea. Do his appearances (including the good ones) inspire strong confidence that the president can go the distance in his current term, to say nothing of the next? No.
And many people seem to know it. On Sunday, my colleagues Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/12/us/politics/biden-democrats-2024.html?referringSource=articleShare) reported on the Democratic Party’s not-so-quiet murmurs about what to do if Biden decides not to run. Aspirants for the nomination appear in the story like sharks circling a raft, swimming slow.
This is not healthy. Not for the president himself, not for the office he holds, not for the Democratic Party, not for the country.
In 2019, the Biden campaign — cognizant of the candidate’s age — sold him to primary voters as a “transition figure, (https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129)” the guy whose main purpose was to dethrone Trump and then smooth the way for a fresher Democratic face. Biden never made that promise explicit, but the expectation feels betrayed.
Things might be different if the Biden presidency were off to a great start. It’s not. Blame Joe Manchin or Mitch McConnell or the antivaxxers, but Biden’s poll numbers have been deeply underwater since August. The man who once gave his party hope now weighs on his party’s fortunes like a pair of cement shoes.

Things might also be different if it looked like the administration would soon turn the corner. That’s the administration’s hope for the mammoth Build Back Better legislation. But last month’s passage of the infrastructure bill didn’t really move the political needle for Biden, and that bill was genuinely popular. Now B.B.B. looms as another costly progressive distraction in a time of surging prices, spiking homicides, resurgent disease, urban decay, a border crisis, a supply-chain crisis and the threat of Iran crossing the nuclear threshold and of Russia crossing the Ukrainian border.
Oh, and Kamala Harris. Her supporters might decry the fact, but to an ever-growing number of Americans, the heir apparent seems lighter than air. Her poll numbers (https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps/)at this point in her term are the worst of those of any vice president in recent history, including Mike Pence’s. If she winds up as her party’s default nominee if Biden pulls out late, Democrats will have every reason to panic.
So what’s the president to do? He should announce, much sooner than later, that he will not run for a second term.
The argument against this is that it would instantly turn him into a lame-duck president, and that’s undoubtedly true.
But, news flash: Right now he’s worse than a lame duck, because potential Democratic successors are prevented from making calls, finding their lanes and appealing for attention. That goes especially for people in the administration who should be powerful contenders: Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and infrastructure czar Mitch Landrieu.
And what would that mean for the rest of the Biden presidency? Far from weakening him, it would instantly allow him to be statesmanlike. And it would be liberating. It would put an end to the endless media speculation. It would inject enthusiasm and interest into a listless Democratic Party. It would let him devote himself wholly to addressing the country’s immediate problems without worrying about re-election.
And it needn’t diminish his presidency. George H.W. Bush accomplished more in four years than his successor accomplished in eight. Greatness is often easier to achieve when good policies aren’t encumbered by clever politics. Biden should think on it — and act soon.

Build Back Better’s freeze puts the bow on Biden’s very bad yearBy John Podhoretz (https://nypost.com/2021/12/15/build-back-betters-freeze-puts-the-bow-on-bidens-very-bad-year/#)

Is President Joe Biden doing anything — and I mean anything — right? The news that his multitrillion-dollar swing for the historical fences, the Build Back Better bill, is being shelved (https://nypost.com/2021/12/15/manchin-opposition-forces-schumer-to-delay-spending-bill/) just put a bow on his mostly horrible first year in office.
If Biden had a blackboard and drew a line down the middle with his achievements on one side and failures on the other, the positive list has maybe two things on it while the negative list is staggeringly long.
Negative: Inflation (https://nypost.com/2021/12/15/holiday-retail-weaker-than-expected-amid-inflation-concerns/). Rising crime. More COVID deaths (https://nypost.com/2021/12/14/us-covid-19-death-toll-hits-800000/) than in 2020. The mishandling of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. A border crisis to dwarf any we’ve seen. The ever-shifting line on school closures.
More in the negative column: Getting dinged by courts on efforts to continue a national eviction moratorium through the Centers for Disease Control and on the national vaccine mandate. The disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. Bad off-year election results.
Positive: Early on he got a COVID relief bill. Later in the year he got an infrastructure bill. These were real legislative accomplishments, there’s no denying that. They sailed through the Scylla and Charybdis of hyperpartisanship and made it into law.
The problem for Biden is that it’s far too early to claim any results from infrastructure spending. The even greater issue is that the COVID relief may have created more problems than it solved.

Months and months of extraordinarily generous unemployment insurance had the unintended consequence of allowing millions to stay out of a workforce desperate for their return because the private sector couldn’t compete on price with . . . unemployment.
That kind of weird competitive pressure on the private sector from the public sector has also played a role in the supply-chain crises and the inflationary spiral. So his success here is also responsible for what may be the most damaging policy failure of his presidency so far.
The last time Washington gave off these particular vibes — an out-of-control economy with top-down policy solutions that only made things worse and a depressed and withdrawn foreign policy that only emboldened our adversaries — I had a full Jewfro atop my head and was watching “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island” at home on Saturday nights because I couldn’t get a date to go to the disco with me.
I’m getting old, is what I’m saying, and “West Side Story (https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/west-side-story-review-spielberg-does-decent-job-with-classic/)” isn’t the only convincing remake I’ve seen. All this hearkens directly back to 1979-1981 (https://nypost.com/2021/08/15/this-is-joe-bidens-jimmy-carter-moment/), the late Carter years and the peculiar emotional combination of confusion, powerlessness and rage that seemed to emanate from the liberal ruling class when its off-the-shelf answers to pressing questions just didn’t assure anyone that they knew what they were doing.
Biden’s championing of a bill initially designed to spend $6 trillion ate up his party’s legislative attention for nearly six months. Build Back Better declined in size but never ascended in approval, no matter the propagandistic efforts to claim its provisions were popular — just so long as nobody was asked how much the provisions they liked would actually cost.
It doesn’t really matter why Biden went down this stupid path. It doesn’t matter whether he had an idea about solidifying his party’s progressive base in the way Donald Trump solidified his party’s conservative base. Or maybe it was because third-rate newsmagazine historians and bestselling pop biography toadies came to the White House sucking their “PBS NewsHour” thumbs and swelling his head with comparisons to FDR and LBJ and whatever other three-initialed liberal gods they might have invoked to cloud what little reason Biden might have left.
What matters is the results.
He didn’t “fix” COVID. The country is experiencing inflation at a level 170 million people in this country (all those under the age of 40) have never lived through before. Cities are returning to the state of nature. And Biden’s party is going to have to go out there next year and see whether it can do anything to stave off the tsunami that will sweep it away 11 months from now on midterm Election Day.

Is it a good idea for Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024? And, if he runs again and wins, would it be good for the United States to have a president who is 86 — the age Biden would be at the end of a second term?
I put these questions bluntly because they need to be discussed candidly, not just whispered constantly.
In the 1980s, it was fair game for reputable reporters to ask (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RtXmnUe9s0) whether Ronald Reagan was too old for the presidency, at a time when he was several years younger than Biden is today. Donald Trump’s apparent difficulty holding a glass (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/us/politics/trump-ramp-water-glass-health.html) and his constricted vocabulary repeatedly prompted unflattering speculation (https://www.statnews.com/2017/05/23/donald-trump-speaking-style-interviews/) about his health, mental and otherwise. And Joe Biden’s memory lapses were a source of mirth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE2nUstHQOQ) among his Democratic primary rivals, at least until he won the nomination.
Yet it’s now considered horrible manners to raise concerns about Biden’s age and health. As if doing so can only play into Trump’s hands. As if the president’s well-being is nobody’s business but his own. As if it doesn’t much matter whether he has the fortitude for the world’s most important job, so long as his aides can adroitly fill the gaps. As if accusations of ageism and a giant shushing sound from media elites can keep the issue off the public mind.

It won’t do. From some of his public appearances, Biden seems … uneven. Often cogent, but sometimes alarmingly incoherent (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/09/joe-biden-debate-answer.html). What’s the reason? I have no idea. Do his appearances (including the good ones) inspire strong confidence that the president can go the distance in his current term, to say nothing of the next? No.
And many people seem to know it. On Sunday, my colleagues Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/12/us/politics/biden-democrats-2024.html?referringSource=articleShare) reported on the Democratic Party’s not-so-quiet murmurs about what to do if Biden decides not to run. Aspirants for the nomination appear in the story like sharks circling a raft, swimming slow.
This is not healthy. Not for the president himself, not for the office he holds, not for the Democratic Party, not for the country.
In 2019, the Biden campaign — cognizant of the candidate’s age — sold him to primary voters as a “transition figure, (https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129)” the guy whose main purpose was to dethrone Trump and then smooth the way for a fresher Democratic face. Biden never made that promise explicit, but the expectation feels betrayed.
Things might be different if the Biden presidency were off to a great start. It’s not. Blame Joe Manchin or Mitch McConnell or the antivaxxers, but Biden’s poll numbers have been deeply underwater since August. The man who once gave his party hope now weighs on his party’s fortunes like a pair of cement shoes.

Things might also be different if it looked like the administration would soon turn the corner. That’s the administration’s hope for the mammoth Build Back Better legislation. But last month’s passage of the infrastructure bill didn’t really move the political needle for Biden, and that bill was genuinely popular. Now B.B.B. looms as another costly progressive distraction in a time of surging prices, spiking homicides, resurgent disease, urban decay, a border crisis, a supply-chain crisis and the threat of Iran crossing the nuclear threshold and of Russia crossing the Ukrainian border.
Oh, and Kamala Harris. Her supporters might decry the fact, but to an ever-growing number of Americans, the heir apparent seems lighter than air. Her poll numbers (https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps/)at this point in her term are the worst of those of any vice president in recent history, including Mike Pence’s. If she winds up as her party’s default nominee if Biden pulls out late, Democrats will have every reason to panic.
So what’s the president to do? He should announce, much sooner than later, that he will not run for a second term.
The argument against this is that it would instantly turn him into a lame-duck president, and that’s undoubtedly true.
But, news flash: Right now he’s worse than a lame duck, because potential Democratic successors are prevented from making calls, finding their lanes and appealing for attention. That goes especially for people in the administration who should be powerful contenders: Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and infrastructure czar Mitch Landrieu.
And what would that mean for the rest of the Biden presidency? Far from weakening him, it would instantly allow him to be statesmanlike. And it would be liberating. It would put an end to the endless media speculation. It would inject enthusiasm and interest into a listless Democratic Party. It would let him devote himself wholly to addressing the country’s immediate problems without worrying about re-election.
And it needn’t diminish his presidency. George H.W. Bush accomplished more in four years than his successor accomplished in eight. Greatness is often easier to achieve when good policies aren’t encumbered by clever politics. Biden should think on it — and act soon.

Any guesses on how low Failing Joe's poll numbers will go over the Winter Of Death?

[SnakeBoy]

President Joe Biden has experienced a tremendous drop in support among the younger demographic those under the age of 30 since taking office, a YouGov/Economist survey found.

According to the Economist's analysis of the data, "Mr Biden's failure to impress the young now threatens his presidency," as he has lost significant support since January. Currently, just 29 percent of adults under the age of 30 approve of Biden's job performance, while half disapprove.

"The net rating of -21 points is the worst for any age group," the Economist found. However, his net approval is underwater with other age groups as well. Adults 65 and older give Biden an approval of -8, while those 45 to 64 give him -5. Adults 30 to 45 give Biden a negative rating in the double digits -17.

Overall, Biden has experienced a -50 point drop-off in support among young Americans since taking office.

Before a single vote is cast, by Repug gerrymandering alone, the Dems have already lost the House in 2022, then add Repug voter suppression and election stealing. There's no way the Dems can retain the House

The Repugs are have a list to use in '23 / '24 for non-stop, bullshit Benghazi-type investigations of Dems, Biden, and Biden's Exec, after they shutdown all investigations of 1/6, etc.

I expect they will also at least impeach and then will ALL Repug Senators voting to convict Biden.

Numbers Shows Joe Biden's Economy Is Actually Beating The World

The U.S. economy is expanding at a seven percent rate over the last three months,

up by five percent from the beginning of the year. That number isn’t just three times the expected growth rate in Europe,

it almost doubles the rate of growth in China.

“The force of the American expansion is also inducing overseas companies to invest in the U.S., betting that the growth is still accelerating and will outpace other major economies.”

America is enjoying record low levels of unemployment (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2021-11-24/weekly-jobless-claims-fall-sharply-now-below-200-000-and-a-50-year-low) and

levels of economic growth that exceed the wildest unfulfilled promises of Donald Trump (https://americansfortaxfairness.org/promise-economy-will-grow-4-5-6/).

President Biden’s approval levels for handling the economy are at record lows. The best economy in 50 years enjoys just a 44 percent approval rating.

Because a disaster-addicted media will find disaster, even if it has to create it.

The front page of Wednesday’s New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/) contains nothing about the record pace of the economy. It does contain dire warnings about supply chain issues affecting Christmas gifts and what seems to be an obligatory feature on the threat posed by inflation.

CNN (https://www.cnn.com/) offers up the story about Biden’s bad economic ratings but nothing on the booming economy.

For most of the year, the Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/17/briefing/inflation-us-economy-covid-pandemic.html)has led the way pounding on the drum about inflation

There are no headlines to report that gas prices are down.

There are no headlines to report that America is enjoying the best economy in 50 years under Biden.

The economy is booming because, under the control of Donald Trump, no one knew what was coming next.

Trump’s policies were utterly dependent on who had most recently kissed his butt,

what industry he vaguely connected with a political enemy, and

what he thought would piss off people who had not invited him to the best parties in New York City.

the economy was repressed under Trump, squashed under a weight of fear and uncertainty spawned by Trump’s erratic, spite-based approach.

Trump handed out money to companies that had no evidence of potential, and

he denied to it industries that he saw as aligned with his enemies.

And when it comes to that issue with supply chains, here’s a part that isn’t getting much coverage:


Major U.S. ports are processing almost one-fifth more container volume this year than they did in 2019,

even as volumes at major European ports like Hamburg and Rotterdam are roughly flat or lag behind 2019 levels.

The busiest U.S. container ports are leaping ahead of their counterparts in Asia and Europe in global rankings as volumes surge.

Why should the rest of us pay for others' student debt - should those who forwent going to college, or worked 2 jobs to pay off theirs, or went community college and state college (instead of AOC's expensive private university) or parents who sacrificed, scrimped and saved to put their kids through college have to pay for those who didn't?

Biden gets to claim a victory after supply chain crisis quietly evaporates

Republicans (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/10/21/2059478/-Psaki-sets-the-record-straight-after-McCarthy-tries-to-mislead-and-confuse-on-supply-chain-problems) and the political press (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/12/10/2068573/-Confirmed-The-media-is-setting-a-gloom-and-doom-tone-on-the-economy) were outright giddy (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/11/17/2064853/-Senate-GOP-campaign-chief-giddy-over-inflation-hails-it-as-a-political-gold-mine) at the prospect of being able to hammer the not-Trump president over pandemic-caused chaos,

but you'll notice that something happened between then and now.

Or specifically, something didn't happen between then and now:

The predicted crisis of bare store shelves and wailing giftless children didn't happen.

The fears, as the New York Times just put it (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/22/business/christmas-gifts-delivery-supply-chain.html), "turned out to be wrong."

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/12/22/2070736/-Biden-gets-to-claim-a-victory-after-supply-chain-crisis-quietly-evaporates

That's one less Benghazi that the Repugs can't use to impeach Biden, or is it?

No, "Go down there and peacefully protest." came AFTER "fight like hell."

What's more, "fight like hell" is extremely ambiguous. But go ahead, peeg, go on in there with "fight like hell" make that your case.

You ain't got shit on a shingle, and you know it. And what's more the old man knows you know it and knows you know he knows it. And that's what drive you to distraction.

So is it a bubble or here to stay? I think it's here to stay. Maybe not 19% a year but will continue to be significantly higher than mortgage rates.

Biden's EPA is certainly not a crippled, dysfunctional, corrupted Trash/Repug EPA

I'll boil it down:::

President Trump: 400,000 Americans dead of the COVIDPERIOD
MF Biden: 443,000 Americans dead of the COVID.
& counting, kids.

Who cares about all that? Just turn off the TV/news/etc or tune it out. But what affects EACH of us in our daily life - paying MORE for EVERYTHING.

Inflation isn't Biden's fault.

A really fucked up economy was, again like in 2009, inherited by a Dem Presiden from the previous Repug President.

BigCorp profits are at 11%, a record, because BigCorp is raising prices well beyond any inflation, "because they can" be greedy TAKERs.

Price of oil is set by OPEC, not Biden.

US BigOil loves "pricing dependence" on OPEC, even for "oil independence" for domestic production. Not Biden's fault.

Also, several US refineries are out of service, not Biden's fault.

Restricting supply is another way BigOil raises prices, and pockets $10Bs of excess profits "because they can". Not Biden's

The Supreme Court has upheld state and local vaccine mandates.

That may not save Biden's.

A Supreme Court (https://www.cnn.com/specials/politics/supreme-court-nine) that has declined to block several types of vaccine mandates

is now considering whether to allow the Biden administration to require millions of Americans to get Covid-19 vaccines.

While the court has been tolerant so far of vaccine mandates that have come before it --

refusing to halt requirements imposed by local and state entities --

those implemented by the federal government pose new legal questions that could draw hostility from the conservative majority.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/29/politics/supreme-court-vaccine-mandates-federal-biden/index.html

The SCOTU6 Repug politicians would love to fuck over the Dem president.

Corporate Profits Drive 60% of Inflation Increases

Higher prices aren't just a result of supply chain chaos or government spending.

Inflation is being driven by the pricing power and higher profits of corporations,

costing $2,126 per American.
