And what's so bad about a recession? It makes all the things that people complain about being too high go down. Know the right will never admit it, but the recovery of the economy post pandemic has been so impressive that a little cooling down is probably a good thing.

The funny thing is you had Democrat Economist complaining that we would be in this situation today.

One way to bring down inflation is to increase the supply. In this case, the supply of oil but he won't do that. So the alternate way of bringing down the economy is called demand destruction. That's what the Federal Reserve with the Biden people should have done. They should have started raising interest rates late last year but they didn't do it.

So when President Biden says that we need to put money into the economy to lower inflation, that's like saying you need to throttle back and and pull the nose up on your aircraft. It doesn't make sense and it will cause a stall condition. That's what I'm saying is economics and finance is it operational art and they have costumes that are true just like you have controls on a jet aircraft. Unfortunately, President Biden and his staffers don't know the first thing about economics and finance and they make promises that they don't realize can cause catastrophic failure to the US economy.

That's why I'm saying that Republican and Democrat Economist can agree on most things because they believe in their science of economics.

This was all preventable before Putin invaded Ukraine but our stupid president and administration think we don't remember how it was before February of this year. Senator Joe manchin of West Virginia really prevented an even worse than inflation because build back better part 2 included money that we don't need. We are still recovering from all the stimulus because people were being paid more to stay at home and not seek employment.
These political cartoons and statistics are all done between September and November of 2021. So we had a problem back then and 8 to 10 months later, things have gotten from bad to worse caused by the Ukraine war. If President Biden wouldn't have left Ukraine the way he did, maybe this war wouldn't have happened. The reason the market is kind of up in the air right now is there waiting for the inflation numbers to come out on Wednesday.
