Biden to Speak on Economy on Tuesday With Fed Decision Looming https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-22/biden-to-speak-on-economy-on-tuesday-with-fed-decision-looming Oil prices up around 2.5% near the close of trading today. Ports running 24/7 is a fantasy. For starters, where are 3 times more workers and 3 times more trucks coming from to support this idea? Long term the way to eliminate the problem is to make products domestically and eliminate the port bottleneck and dependency on foreign countries for goods. Time to put the interests of American workers and families and American businesses above the interests of multi-national mega corporations that have only an allegiance to the bottom line. Let's really build back better. Help people that are working for a living instead of the usual freeloader constituencies and big donors. You're party claims to represent the people. Time to demonstrate that claim with something more than more government spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously there are plenty of things he can do. If you think he’s powerless to reign in inflation you’re a tool. 1. Roll up his sleeves and work on this supply chain issue. 2. Raise interest rates. This will also reduce home prices and potentially make homes more affordable. 3. Increase bank reserve requirements. 4. Price and wage controls. I’m not too keen on this but if it’s temporary it will help. 5. Tap into our oil reserve and recommend other nations do to 6. Stop spending/printing money. Carry on hand wringing boy. @Tiberius Well what do you know....... https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/11/23/president-biden-announces-release-from-the-strategic-petroleum-reserve-as-part-of-ongoing-efforts-to-lower-prices-and-address-lack-of-supply-around-the-world/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile SoE Jennifer Granholm lied that she didn't know how many barrels of oil the US uses daily (hint: it's 20 million, meaning they're releasing 2-1/2 days worth of oil and she didn't want to be called-out on it), instead choosing to claim she didn't know. If she truly didn't know, it means she's incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Weekly jobless claims plunge to 199,000, lowest level in more than 50 years The number of first-time claims for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — plunged by 71,000, falling well below pre-pandemic levels, the Labor Department reported. It’s the eighth straight weekly decline, a reflection of the tight U.S. labor market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 This is too funny! You future speaker of the house? Quote One hour into his speech, he complained that under Democratic rule, there are just too many jobs in America. “Walk down any main street,” he said, “and I guarantee you there will be 'Help Wanted’ signs!” 🤣https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/11/19/kevin-mccarthy-eight-hour-speech-barking-mad/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that in release somewhere? and I would assume that means many of the provisions of BBB meant to help people get back to work are not needed based on those numbers?

Well, if jobless claims fell by 100k, but 200k fell out of the job force, it’s not a net positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
