More on the way. They're selling fast npw.

Probably the only “surge” that’s going to occur is the Bullshit coming out of DC.

"Everyone should be planning for the worst—inflation, shortages, massive unemployment, crazy regulations, discrimination against straight white males."

Went through all of that in the '70s and '80s, but there were no shortages except for fuel a couple of times. Quite a few banks closed at times during both decades, too. Much of what is published about politics back then is false. President Trump was by far the best president we've had in many generations.

I've read that Steve Forbes says we're headed for a Jimmie Carter economy.

Steve Forbes to Newsmax TV: Economic 'Crisis' Coming

"This is really going to do damage to the economy," Forbes said, adding it will bring Jimmy Carter administration economic stagnation, higher prices and interest rates, and higher unemployment."

I had a 13% mortgage in 1980. My neighbor had 18%.

Hell I’m betting on at least a 10% unemployment rate by 2022 but if they use Oabma’s method of tracking unemployment it will only be 4%.

“Economists” and other pundits are fairytale writers.

[vpintheak]

Chairman Bidung will not allow that to happen! He’s gonna have us locked down until the fall.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Rubbish!

...and it's reelection time.

As we have seen, they can fix those numbers, too.

[Little Ray]

I am still trying to figure out how they juggled the numbers to say that inflation in 2020 was 1.4%
Because we literally created trillions of dollars out of thin electrons,
