Team Biden says not to worry, their lucrative pay-to-not-play poli-finance money-printing isn’t impacting the labor market or inflation.
Bull-dinky!
I just got 2 shocks that suggest the contrary.
We’re in the process or re-siding part of our house — just replacing some badly weathered boards.
The carpenter warned me that lumber prices were thru the roof.
Today, he handed me the bill. A small load of cedar siding cost me $3,700 — just for the materials.
The carpenter said that a couple of months ago, it would have cost $1,200.
That’s completely consistent with news reports of a tripling in lumber prices due homebuilding demand and supply shortages. Source

More broadly, the BLS reported today that the CPI is up 4.2% year-over-year … the sharpest YOY rise in over a decade … you know, back in the Obama-Biden years. Is history repeating?
Note: “Energy Commodities“ prices were up almost 49% … and that’s before a CNN prediction that “Coming this summer: Gas stations will be running out of gas.”
Ouch.

I always liked to ask my Trump-hating friends which they were most opposed to: the peace or the prosperity?
With prices soaring and former workers reinventing themselves as government-funded couch potatoes … and the Middle East literally exploding … we now have both less prosperity and less peace.
Maybe the Trump-haters think that’s a small price to pay for fewer mean tweets.

P.S. And, I haven’t even mentioned the southern border … or faux school openings.
