Jobless claims rise unexpectedly. Unless you understand market economics...

Stacey Abrams was against the MLB pulling the All-Star Game from Atlanta. Therefore, I now believe it was a good move by MLB.

This First 100 days is going swimmingly isn’t it!!

Add in the ridiculous COBRA Subsidy that was just implemented that puts even more onus on business owners and government is going to reimburse, it's a wonder what the hell government is truly thinking.

The rules/regulations/compliance that is going to be put on small and midsize business owners the next four years is going to be insane...buckle up.

Or maybe it's just "noise" in an otherwise increasingly positive labor market. That appears to be the interpretation by the economists at that left-wing rag, the WSJ, has quite a different perspective (link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/weekly-...d=hp_lead_pos2). Perhaps not the dire spin that you choose to place on it.

Right. That’s it. Was that from the Editorial page or the Business section? Huge difference with the WSJ.

How are rising claims a sign people are giving up on benefits?

Our taxes are going to be raised to give money to people who don’t actually need it for any real reason, but handing out money gets votes. It’s handout city out there. I’m socially liberal (you stay out of my business, I’ll stay out of yours). I’m fiscally conservative (you stay out of my pocket, I’ll stay out of yours). We are out of control with handouts.
.

This is where I’m at politically and then add on limited government for me. Besides being a complete ass, Trump’s next biggest flaw was spending. The guy has never met a debt he didn’t like. Was not fond of his abundance spending during this pandemic (sure I got a little weak kneed for the first because all the shut downs). This last covid bill is a big waste of money especially giving money to the states. Nothing like teaching them the bad habits of the Fed. Case and point.

On three consecutive days from the Enquirer.

1) Cincinnati giving 250,000 stimulus money to restore the one year old BLM mural (does include a new plaque tho).

2) 1 million for Blink...next year 2022 (for those outside of Cincy, it’s a light show).

3) Title of article “Spending 290,000,000 is harder than you think.”

Now the State of New York wants to give 2.1 billion (or 15,000 per) to undocumented workers.

Anybody who thinks that all of this spending is covered by taxes is fooling themselves.
Lots of stuff under Trump and almost all of this iish under Biden is wasteful.
To fund it, the Fed just prints paper, with nothing behind it to back it up. The only thing that saves us is that we are the currency of record to the world.
There will someday be a day of reckoning, and I fear for my kids and grandkids.

Oh without out a doubt. The whole MM theory will be tested mightily. Or should I say bigly. Scary times for sure and completely agree with our kids/grandkids.

I'm so glad the Trumps are out of the White House and we have a First Family with integrity.
