I’m looking for a repeat of Jimmy Carter’s stagflation where interest rates and unemployment skyrocketed simultaneously. Biden like Carter will try to spend his way out of recession driving an inflationary spiral. Remember 18% more mortgage rates...around the corner with Biden

Printing money out of thin air causes inflation

And as the Biteme job killing scheme rolling on in overdrive

Coupled with a massive inflow of illegals

Wages are depressed and jobs disappearing fast

Net result

Stagflation.
