Every fast-food eatery that I drive past has a “help wanted” sign. When I had lunch at a restaurant yesterday, there was a sign reading, “please be patient—the whole world is short-handed.” Signs like those will likely be long gone in a few months.

This is the Fed’s “just the tip in the backdoor” plan!

NO THANKS!

[cuz1961]

More progress backward .

Typical.

A “growth” recession? I have to laugh at the lying that the government does. Almost everything is a lie.

[odawg]

And the Great Depression was merely a retooling and removal of capitalistic excesses.

[Chode]

we had to destroy the village to save it...

“Growth Recession” That’s enough to make Orwell vomit.

We are living through what happens when an administration’s policy is to increase poverty. Biden’s Goals:

“Social Equity” via mutual poverty (except for the politically connected elite of course);

Fight global warming by making energy too expensive to use.
Somehow shifting energy production and use away from the US makes it not count.

It will be painful. The Fed has taken too little action, too late and will slowly continue taking inadequate action. The greater problem is that the Fed only has partial control over monetary policy. Monetary policy alone will not fix the economy. The solution requires fiscal, trade, energy, and regulatory policy changes. Biden has made it clear that he trusts the Fed and will allow the Fed to solve the economic problems of America. Meanwhile, Biden and Democrats with the help of RINOs continue with the same policies that have put us in this position. They care not about the working Americans. They have their government paychecks. Not a single lazy ass government employee will lose his job, even though they are the cause of America’s economic problems. Meanwhile, millions of hardworking Americans will lose their jobs, their livelihoods and their businesses in the months to come. Unemployment is going to skyrocket.

If you work for government, then you are the problem.

Release America’s plentiful energy and the jobs will come, automatically.

Higher interest rates will certainly protect the central bankers for a while.

Inflation will stop when government stops financing all that spending by "printing more money". Not until then.

Yes, I know, the government creates most new money by issuing bonds and the Federal Reserve bankers skim a percent of the new money by underwriting them. Higher interest rates just give the central bankers a bigger skim to work with. And it proceeds to wreck the economy, just as badly as the inflation did.

Government is the cause of inflation. Not, business, not labor. Inflation is a policy of deliberate theft to benefit the government and selected groups that support the government.

"He who robs Peter to pay Paul - can count on support from Paul."

I remember the last time we did this. "Stagflation", here we come.

Ah, I see - it isn’t just a recession, it’s a growth recession. And starvation is a great way to lose weight. Now eat yer bugs.

[The Free Engineer]

Never a mention of stopping deficit spending.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Imagine if you will, the 500b stolen from the American people to redistribute to Deep State fascist cronies was used to fix the supply chain, reopen domestic oil production and continue building the wall.

The expected “soft landing” has turned into an approach on a steep downslope, coming in high, hot, blind, dead-stick, and with the glide angle of a brick.

What could possibly go wrong. We have a hot pilot in the cockpit, with some fifty years of experience. Or is that one year’s experience fifty times?

There was never any such thing as a “soft” landing. It’s never happened before in history and is impossible.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And here I thought a simpler solution would be to stop spending so much money out of thin air. That way, you WOULDN’T have to do a “growth recession” that would prompt even more government spending out of thin air.

Stupid, stupid, stupid . . .

From the Internet wayback machine for this 2013 Nancy Pelosi (House minority leader) quote; "Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way". Now we will get a test of this claim from this wise Italiana, won't we?

If this goes as it looks, Biden & the 'D'onkey Party will be facing a grim economy as 2024 comes around. Especially if one compares the metrics from 2020 when Trump had so much green before the hit from Covid!

[NWFree]

We need a recession from the libtards causing the inflation.

Seems really obvious
