3 reasons Americans are actually doing OK in the face of inflation, according to an economist

 

Cracking Up Lol GIF

 

Inflation is making everyday costs more burdensome: at the gas pump, at the grocery store, even at home. Not even rent and electricity have been safe.

 

It's not an easy squeeze, so it might be surprising to hear that, overall, Americans are actually positioned to hold up well against further inflation. And that's not just because the US looks poised to avoid recession.....

 

 

This is my favorite part:

 

People are going into debt, but it's likely a short-term problem 

 

The US Census Bureau's most recent Household Pulse Survey found that Americans are building up greater credit card debt, taking out loans, and pulling from retirement and savings. 

 

Among respondents who answered the question between March 30 and April 11, 15% said they found it very difficult to cover typical expenses in the last seven days, the survey found. Of that 15% of respondents, 44% said they're using credit cards or loans to meet their needs, while 34% said they're using money from retirement or savings accounts. 

 

But Mish says that this is likely a temporary change, showing that Americans are taking on debt again after months of paying it off.

This is beyond comical.

LOL, this thread must have been ordered up after the latest round of polling showing Dems doing much better in mid term races 

 

Panic on the wacky right 

It has to be this. It can’t possibly be that people on both sides care about free speech and the idea that the way to combat “offensive” speech and “disinformation” is more speech. No, it’s clearly the latest polling showing the Dems doing better in the polls. They should do well in November. On the outside chance they don’t, you should probably start formulating your excuses now. With Hispanics and African Americans moving in a conservative direction is going to be harder to blame racism. 
 

Good god man. Think before hitting “submit reply” on occasion.

Old trick, when your side is going down in the polls because you attack corporations like Disney for free speech or ban books or silence gays, say the other side is worse. 

 

And who is going where? You say Conservatives? Who is that? Ron DeSantis attacking a private corporation for free speech? That Conservatism?

We don't allow free speech anymore.

Interesting that you still think people don't like the law since the majority of people who actually know what the law says like it. Your side has done a brilliant job with disinformation. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/apr/1/poll-over-60-us-voters-support-language-florida-pa/

I think before this Board does anything they need to put out a detailed definition of what "Disinformation" means the them.   

I believe this is the mission statement of the board:  Censor, block, dismiss, and discredit, any facts or opinions that disagree with or conflict with the official narratives the board was established to protect.
