Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos · 15 May In fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country.

Neoliberal 🌐🇺🇦 @ne0liberal · 15 May This is so silly. The deficit is decreasing because we’re not doing pandemic aid anymore, and federal receipts are up because of inflation. Congress, or the Biden administration, didn’t do anything to lower the deficit. twitter.com/potus/status/1…

I am no economist but without Manchin, we could be looking at in the region of a 15% inflation right now.

At the beginning of his administration Trump went out of his way to be nice to the Tech titans, inviting them to the Trump Tower and later to the White House. What did he get in return ? What did he get from Jeff and his third rate publication?

"Inject even more stimulus" = "Print even more money".

The Bezos support, especially through the Washington Post, is why Biden is in office and why Biden feels emboldened to inflict the damage he’s been doing against the country and its people.

Bezos would still support and vote for Biden if Biden runs in 2024; if not Biden, another economy destroying liberal Hope Amazon fails and goes away.

He pimped the markets; squirrel look over there. That's why he did it. Tweeting about the rising debt and deficit under his admin isn't something to win on.

Manchin is not one of us but had he gone along with killing the filibuster the country would be gone completely. It would be impossible to even to get the House back

With these latest tweets, Bezos is angling for something. I guess he wants to run as an old school liberal.

Manucin saved us from the Biden Admin. The Biden crime syndicate knew exactly what they were doing. They had a plan to keep paying people for not working to force a universal basic income of $15/per hour, destroying US manufacturing and energy segments and looting the stimulus money to set themselves and their cronies up to prosper during the economic crash they were engineering. Their plan would have kept the ball rolling til after the 2024 election so they could maintain a false sense of normalcy with America’s voters and delay the economic consequences of their scam til after they had a dead lock on permanent control of the country.

Bezos has someone in mind for RATS in 2024 and its NOT Biden or Harris.
He is smart enough to know it takes years to change the voters direction and they need to start NOW.

Yeah, it is very odd. If he really believes this, why does he not try to reign in the WAPO? I doubt Bezos will run for anything. My gut tells me that he wants to triangulate in case the GOP takes back Congress.

Manchin should be getting bouquets from the Democrats, for saving an economic debacle from becoming an economic catastrophe.

“ for saving an economic debacle from becoming an economic catastrophe.”

It would have gone far beyond the range of debacle and catastrophe, into a full blown disastrophe

I think he’s worried about what’s going to happen with Amazon once the middle class can no longer afford to shop there. Add some Union activities and the stock can plummet very quickly. Over the next few weeks, watch who is shorting the stock.
