Energy is the economy. You simply can’t produce or ship anything without energy.

Increase the scarcity of energy, and limit the economy. And with nearly $30 Trillion in debt, Fed.gov simply can not afford scarce energy and a limited economy, even by a little.

For a nation to be successful it must have access to cheap, abundant energy sources.

A message? About fossil fuels!?

Biden doesn’t know Raisin Bran from Honey Nut Cheerios and all he does With his time is pour breakfast cereal and mumble from what I can tell.

Although I totally agree with Mike Rowe, he is totally missing the point on the Left’s push against fossil fuels; it’s not about cleaning up the environment at all - it’s about cementing our reliance on a dominate China. Yes, we can stop drilling for oil and mining for coal, but all that will do is force the U.S. to buy everything from China at highly inflated costs. That also goes for products produced from fossil fuels such as plastics. Why does the Left want to do this? Because China owns them (follow the money) and the leftist ideologies play into a dominate China in the world stage. The Leftists in power don’t give a rat’s a$$ about the environment.

Every unit of energy directly relates to a unit of real GDP.

Biden bucks will show up in GDP, but does relatively nothing for the economy. A measure of this is the velocity of money, which the fed produces a nice chart. Suspect this goes away when it goes below 1. Currently sits at 1.1. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V

The velocity of money is the frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically- produced goods and services within a given time period. In other words, it is the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.

You are correct.

China gets to use cheap energy.

We have to rely on expensive energy.

The establishment gets paid off by China.

Joe won’t get the message.
Neither literally, nor figuratively.

The American Left doesn’t give a rats _ss about our economy. They are far more invested in the global economy (as are the GOPe and their ilk) which is why they all went into an abject panic over the rise of President Trump and his MAGA agenda.
Rush coincidentally, spoke of this at length today. Summarized the DC Elitists have waged war on the American middle class because it is in their interest (because of their investment in globalism) to do so.

Right. Appears Biden is not at the helm. He’s just there for the camera.

Agree.

Traitorous Americans (D’rats, Deep State, RINOs and our ignorant leftist sheeple) are welcoming in The Century of China.

The stupid! It burns!
