On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said that he doesn’t see gas prices or inflation decreasing “at all.” And argued that “you’ve got to get your financial house in order” and ensure American energy independence.
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “The president is also blaming the high gas prices right now — and the inflation — he’s blaming Russia, labeling it Putin’s price hike. Can the White House really though, claim Putin is solely responsible? Because prices, as you know, have been rising long before the Russian invasion.”

It would be a lot better for some of these folks, if they would just
keep their mouths shut.
“YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FINANCIAL HOUSE IN ORDER!”
What a brain trust. That’s just offensive.
Let them eat cake...
What he is saying, is that they don’t plan to take this inflation
seriously at all.

They will take their speed boats and Helicopters to the Capitol and race to Vote for more money - if a Bill has the word Ukraine among a Billion line items.
Nancy, Joe, and Chuck are well aware.
American People have been sold out.

Their position:
If you have a problem with high gas prices, its your problem. Get your finances in order.
Its a laugh coming from someone who gets their money either out of thin air or by legally confiscating it from others.
Isn’t that the truth. Or even insider trading...
They has their ways...
Yup
Well good for Manchin. Now if the other 534 idiots do the same. Sad thing is the spending cuts and tax increases needed to put our house in financial order would mean the death of the nation.
Manchin is one of the problems. He's not a solution to anything.
Manchin is being very realistic here, and bucking the Dem party line, again.

I wonder what number you would get if you took the number of employed people and divided that by the total number of able bodied adults between 18 and 65
Price of coal is way up too.

My grocery store Aldi can not find workers to stock shelves at $16/hour starting wages. I am south of Jacksonville, FL.
Yes the state is legendary for welfare fraud but that happens no matter what the political party controlling DC is.
Big wind

Thank God for Big Coal.
He’s doing what all double agents do. Just watch and see.
That is the population employment ratio, or as the Federal Reserve of St. Louis calls it, EMRATIO. They like using that vs unemployment rate as that gets around the whole labor force calculation garbage.

It is not available by state unfortunately.
If one has been out of work a certain amount of time, they are no longer “unemployed”.
They don’t count towards Labor Force Participation rate.
