We are not living with a Joe Biden budget yet. The growth in 2021 is still a carryover from the Trump budget. Let not let Biden take credit for something that he has not engineered except the runaway inflation that his administration has created.
If you think the bozo that led the previous regime did anything but feather his own fucking nest then you are more delusional than I thought you were.

A super majority of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, suggesting deep pessimism and fear of the future. Being a victim of crime, to property or person. Making ends meet due to rampant inflation.The long-term moral decay in American politics, culture, and society. Excessive government spending and overreach into personal lives of Americans. A move away from our free enterprise system to socialism, preventing more people from achieving the "American dream."
We all saw how the Biden administration, it's socialist government tax-and-and-deficit-spending insanity, its debacle in Afghanistan, its refusal to secure our southern border, and its radical-leftest social agenda were rebuked by voters in the off-year elections last November.
While Biden's anti-gun allies push to de-fund our nations police, crime is skyrocketing. According to the FBI, murder in the U.S. spiked by 29% in 2020. Shootings in Chicago alone have more than doubled in a year and more than tripled in two years. And ambush shootings against police have more than doubled in the past year.
The best way to defend our rights and protect ourselves is to replace radical left wing and anti-gun politicians like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and Schumer with solid pro-gun majorities in 2022!
Biden is sabre-rattling against the Russians. Oddly enough, more of the Russian perspective is getting into western media this time round.
I don't like the notion of Biden creating a Bread & Circus moment for US voters but then he has been shown to be willing to compromise. The probability of direct confrontation with Russia converges on zero.
Thought I saw him on the 12/20/21 Jimmy Fallon - Tonight Show episode. WH Christmas decorations framed his video feed conversation between the 2. Must have been a re-run or maybe my imagination Should have been sleeping.
I personally hope they dont pass another shotgun spending bill.
Why Build Back Better is so unloved
Rick Newman·Senior ColumnistMon, December 13, 2021, 1:41 PM
Offer people free money, and they should become your biggest fans. Right?
Not really, it turns out. President Bidenâs legislative strategy this year was to include some temporary new benefits in the big Covid relief bill Democrats passed in March, then count on them becoming so popular that voters would demand they be extended indefinitely. The Build Back Better legislation Democrats hope to pass by the end of year is Part II of that strategy, with extensions of a new child tax credit and health care subsidies among the billâs major elements.
Voters arenât all that enthused. Just 41% of respondents in a recent NPR/Marist poll said they support the BBB legislation, with 34% opposed and 25% unsure. Support for the bipartisan infrastructure bill Biden signed in November was 56%. That 15-point gap in support is the difference between legislation Americans want Congress to pass, and legislation they donât.
This matters now because Democrats hoped the larger tax credit would generate a groundswell of voter support that would get the BBB bill over the finish line by the end of 2021. The March relief bill established the expanded benefit for six months, starting in Julyâso it ends this month. The latest version of the BBB bill would keep it going for another year. Instead of rallying around BBB, however, voters are wanâperhaps because the bill also includes green-energy investments, preschool subsidies, housing support, immigration changes, tax hikes and other things that make the whole package seem unwieldy.
Many Democrats have vilified Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has essentially blocked BBB so far, with objections to its large scope and cost, plus concern that it will worsen escalating inflation. But Manchin is closer to the majority view than most Democrats.

So let's appreciate what you're saying....Janet Yellen, the Fed chair that Trump replaced (after suggesting she wasn't tall enough for the job...) with the guy who's been printing money 24/7 and now has a $9 Trillion dollar balance sheet at the Fed...is your proof it's Biden's fault?
Trump poured the lighter fluid, struck the match, lit the flames, waited to call the fire department, and now wants to complain Biden can't put the fire out.
RE: inflation...it's running really hot here vs. Europe for example, but it has to balance out over time. That said...prices aren't going back to pre-Covid pricing for most things. Housing...cars...some things might retreat, but those $15 burgers are here to stay.
So my question is... "inflation" means they won't be $15 next year, but $17 and over $20 before the next presidential election. If they stay at $15 and housing prices stabilize, then inflation was indeed transitory and these were just corrections, no?
Mostly transitory unless inflation expectations change. That is a risk. An earlier, faster reduction in bond purchases, as signalled, may help to keep inflation expectations anchored.
Was playing with COVID-19 per capita death rates on the Financial Times website. US death rates rates are shooting up. But not so much in the four largest, most economically important states.
Nevertheless, it looks like US economic growth is slowing or will slow but by how much remains to be seen. A near-term slowdown will help tame this kind of measured inflation and help keep pressure off of oil prices.

So Biden is blameless regarding the current state of our economy. It is all Trump's fault. Got it.
I blame Biden for following Trump's policies on trade, spending, and (to a large degree) immigration. So no, Biden is terrible. He deserves a lot of blame. He was sold as knowing better, and he clearly doesn't.
