Biden and the pandemic's dirty affair in inflation
By Darryl Weng
Thanks to an annual inflation hitting 30-year high, Americans have every reason to frown. Conservative and Republican commentators have pounced on the issue, for good reason. Even Biden agrees that such inflation is troublesome. But Biden seems to have a different outlook on the issue: the pandemic caused the inflation, rather than his policies. His spokesperson, Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” saying how Biden ascended the presidential throne in the midst of “facing an all-out economic crisis.”
Indeed, Deese accurately points out how Biden had to deal with an existing issue of inflation. Despite the pandemic nearing an end, businesses cannot pay off debt whilst dealing with a labor shortage. This is part of a chain reaction led by the one cause - government spending. But not just any government spending - spending for the poor. Because of the pandemic, spending increased, the welfare system suffered, businesses received government checks, and, last but not least, Americans did not want to work.
Since many Americans lost the will to work due to unemployment benefits, especially when prices of goods and services hiked into unimaginable numbers, both the American government and businesses were severely hurt. Businesses could not find hirees to fill in the non-existent service they relied on to provide, and the government could find little to no in-debt businesses that could afford to pay off their debt. Although many, of which most are progressives, blame Trump and his associates for lackluster handling of the pandemic, it was due to the progressive agenda of increasing stimulus bills(essentially what Pelosi, Biden, and other progressives are currently doing) and blocking immediate monetary relief for Americans. Interestingly enough, Progressives blocked the relief bill, but promoted it once Trump left office. Seems as though Progressives aren't truly interested in the well-being of Americans. Instead, they portray themselves as politically fraught cry babies, who can't stand the success of their political counterparts. It's quite clear now that the pandemic isn't the only thing hiking the inflation rates.
Despite the inflation having been greatly raised by the pandemic and the unruly nature of the progressives, Biden isn’t doing much to alleviate the situation, given that Biden is spouting more radical progressive agendas on stimulus bills that worsen the inflation by quite a large margin. The Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell does like the sound of a “transitory inflation,” but that’ll be saved for another decade. Currently, the inflation is going to reach another high, as long as Biden keeps his promise in sending out his personal fleet of stimulus bills, on top of Pelosi’s unpassable bills of shame.
I suppose Biden isn’t completely lying. After all, Biden's policies and the pandemic have both led to harmful inflation rates that currently rain down on Americans like bombs in Pearl Harbor. At least, it’s not the Japanese Regime this time - it’s the Biden Regime! Even though Biden may, and most probably, end his presidency by 2024, he has made his mark in history - the man whose presidency brought the greatest inflation rates in the 21st century. Let us hope that this stands true - that there will be no other man who may concoct an even greater inflation rate. Let us hope that the radical progressive agenda ends with Biden and his presidency.
For now, the stock market and the wage gap seem to enjoy much glory from frightful Americans, at least until mid-2022. Before news of inflation rates being officially hiked by 2023 enters mainstream media, one should be on the lookout for when to strike gold in the stock market and, more importantly, lookout for some raucous riots.
Very interesting perspective. Look forward to reading more from you on the hot topic of inflation.
