"When sorrows come," said King Claudius, "they come not single spies but in battalions." As the king found out. So it seems with resident Joe Biden, who must be asking himself the question Merle Haggard asked:
"Are the good times really over for good?"
Consider the critical issue with voters today: the state of the economy.
Inflation in September stood at 5.4% year on year.
With prices of food and fuel rising, the supply chains for goods entering the country and headed for stores, shelves and showrooms before Thanksgiving and Christmas are clogged. Container ships are backed up in ports, waiting to unload on both coasts. Many of the trucks to carry the goods to inland markets sit idle for lack of drivers.
The latest employment figures show 10.4 million U.S. jobs going begging in August as 4.3 million workers dropped out of the labor force.
How are Democrats responding to the return of inflation?
By trying to pile a $3.5 trillion social spending package on top of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package on top of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief act Biden signed in March. Coupled with an easy-money Fed policy, this hand could play out for Biden the way it played out for former President Jimmy Carter.
A second issue that appears beyond the capacity of the Biden people to solve is the invasion from across our southern border. Nightly film of border crossers and their encounters with the Border Patrol have riveted the attention of the nation.

At the present decline of our nation a state of it may not be a good topic for joe in early 2021.
Biden can blame California and its insane trucking regulations for the supply chain problem == but he won’t dare.
That is not the right question. Joe Biden is incapable of caring about anything but Joe Biden. He sold his soul decades ago.
Don’t forget the Federal AOT and their ever tightening regulations on trucking especially those that affect drivers. Coupled that with the past ten years of loss of privateers and low pay per mile by large trucking firms and viola, lack of drivers. Only now are trucking firms realizing the need for proper pay for quality people to navigate the regulations and keep goods moving. It may be too late, or it could be a plan by the left to put their new found invader buddies in those driver seats.
Buchanan is too much of a populist with his articles. He hasn’t talked about the election being stolen, he said a few million would die of covid.
There were good times?
Been paying more for gas ⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽ at the pump ⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽ ever since he took over.
He has no idea what his handlers are doing. Guy was an idiot before he was a veg.
As if Team Biden is looking to “solve” any of those problems. They of course are instead looking to exacerbate them all.
I’ve been doing a lot of local driving the past week, moving is a female cur.
Anyway, I’ve been spotting outages of regular and mid grade gas. Seems Crazy Uncle Joe and his merry band of communists are setting us up for the perfect storm of high prices and scarce goods.
Nice read. But it only begins to touch on how many of us really feel.
Dufus Joe has been an incompetent poser for years.
Now, his chickens are coming home.
More importantly, are the Good Times over for the US of A?

Democrats: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! We didn't realize that inflation was going to kick in so soon, and so hard. We need to amend our proposal and make that a $5 trillion social package..."
NOT just LA. In Savannah, GA there are containers stacked to terrifying levels in places they have never been previously. From a distance they appear as newly erected, tall buildings.
Can't end something that never started!
“The supply chains for goods entering the country and headed for stores, shelves and showrooms before Thanksgiving and Christmas are clogged. Container ships are backed up in ports, waiting to unload on both coasts”
The problem is the existence of a “supply chain” that is global in nature.
This has been a severe, but potential, national security matter since it was allowed to be created, mostly by Republicans, and now, the potential threat is about to become real - and it won’t be pretty.
The problem with socialism is socialism, but the problem with capitalism is capitalists.
Hey, Pat, such a naïve question seems almost a distraction and is beneath you.
If one understands just what Biden regards as "good times", we must think of how delighted he is at the moment.
By continuing and even accelerating Obama's agenda he and his handlers have already created circumstances that will cause our culture and institutions to continue to decay for generations.
Imagine if the supply chain issues affect medications? Medical supplies? Now that’s when shit gets really real.
This country should be in a revolutionary uproar right now ...but instead we’re watching Sunday nite football and cheering for our favorite teams.
We get what we deserve.
