Why not? Bush II's measly $600 stimulus checks didn't stop his recession.

It didn't concern me. I could easily afford health insurance before ObamaCare was passed. But then when I was in my 20s and didn't have a decent paying job, I felt I didn't need health insurance and did okay without it. I never had a costly illness or accident.

Saw this story today. Considering the source, I would take it seriously...

BlackRock president warns ’entitled generation’ to ‘put their seatbelts on’ over speeding inflation

BlackRock President Rob Kapito warned that a "very entitled" generation of young people would soon have to face shortages for the first time in their lives as some goods grow scarce because of rising inflation.

“I would put on your seat belts because this is something that we haven’t seen,” said Kapito, who co-founded Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, along with CEO Larry Fink and retired vice president Susan Wagner.

Inflation is already at a 40-year high in the United States and it is accelerating across the globe as Russia’s war on Ukraine pushes oil prices to record highs, and COVID-19 supply chain issues exacerbate price pressures further.

I never had any faith in Biden, but I honestly never thought he would be THIS bad and this bad on so many things so quickly.


I guess Obama was right about Joe.
As if he is purposely creating damage at full speed ahead.
I say that as most others would have to have this goal to destroy things this quickly.

Add on Putin and OPEC+ with the attempt to kill our fracking by dumping as much oil on the market. Then cutting OPEC+ production.
Trump imposed the tariffs in 2018. The U.S. inflation rate for 2019 was 1.81%, a 0.63% decline from 2018.

Right now, the spread between the 3-month and 10-year is still pretty wide. Here is a chart (you'll have to expand the sliders beneath the chart to see the full history):
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=o42z

Up to date data is here:
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd03m
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd10y

As I write this, the yield on the 3-month is 0.555%, and the yield on the 10-year is 2.354%, which is still quite a wide spread.
The 2 year/10 year inverted for a time last week and currently both the 5 year/10 year and 5 year/30 year are inverted. Inversions happening everywhere and probably why another company came out predicting a recession next year.

No worries though, I'm sure all those on the left will blame Republicans next year and totally forget about what is happening now to cause the recession. I will be there to remind them though.

Treasury yields invert as traders weigh U.S. recession risk

"The yield on the 2-year Treasury yield inched marginally lower to 2.424, while the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose about 4 basis points to 2.412%. The yield on the 5-year government bond moved 1 basis point higher to 2.56% and the 30-year Treasury bond climbed about 5 basis points to 2.473%. "

Deutsche Bank Predicts U.S. Recession in ‘23 as Fed Boosts Rates

"The U.S. will tumble into a recession next year as the Federal Reserve jacks up interest rates to combat high and widening inflation, Deutsche Bank economists David Folkerts-Landau and Peter Hooper said in a report on Tuesday."
