    Biden Is Following in the Same Economic Footsteps as Jimmy Carter - Inflation Here We Come
    That is due to policy changes of Biden.
    I do think inflation will go up and Biden will cost you money.
    The inflation problem though is serious, as if it does rise significantly , the FED will want to raise rates, meaning the interest on the federal debt payments will go way way way up, meaning the percent of GDP just to pay the interest on the debt could become absurd. The value of cash will drop. So your savings value bad as it is, will just go down in value faster.

    Biden's green policies, and infrastructure spending, may make many people poor.

    The Carter years were hard economic times and energy fuels were SCARCE.
    You could only fill up on odd or even days depending on your license plate.
    Long lines stretching around blocks to fill up your car
    The speed limit was dropped to 55mph to conserve fuel
    Inflation was high, mortgage interest rates got close to 20%
    The country was losing to IRAN, the embassy was taken, Carter was mocked worldwide as a weak ineffectual leader, and the military forces Carter decimated.

    And Carter said that was our future, he saw no way forward, out of the morass he drug the country into.
    If that is what Biden is bringing, why would you support him.
    Sounds similar to Biden's 10 years grim prognosis for America.

    You can't just keep printing money to cover extravagant government spending.

    Eventually, it will catch up to you.

    Living on a fixed income in retirement, I have enjoyed the relatively low inflation rate brought on by Mr. Reagan and lasting until now. Hopefully my assignment here will end before I start checking the dog food nutrition labels.

    stagflation may come back
    Social justice and climate justice, NOT economic growth is what Biden administration is focusing on.

    Dry dog and cat food has gritty greasy taste and no flavor. Never tried the wet stuff in a can.

    Yes Brother Glen, as I age, that feeling grows, as my assessment of my contribution here diminishes. But then I think of my departed siblings, who "broke the tape" and finished well. Another tune I like is "Onward Christian Solider."

    Somehow, people dont learn from the past, and democrats are no exception. Carter and democrats will never admit their policies are at fault for failures and hard to make them even admit there are failures. They blame anything but themselves.

    And seeing how strongly they believe in AGW being about to destroy the world and only 9 years left before total chaos and destruction according to Kerry, who is a Biden twin, they justify doing whatever it takes.

    So dont expect them to let up unless they are overcome by a stronger force.

    To them, we are just useful idiots if we support them, or useless eaters if we dont.

    None of them do. They make rules they will not follow, pretend to care about financial issues they will never face. Our government is neither of the people or for the people.

    You are welcome to disagree, but you need to stop being childish.

    I said the DNC are hypocrites. You disagree. So state your disagreement and stop trolling.
