What fresh hell is this, Drudge?

 

Right, right, that's why they voted for Democrat tool Joe-they told me no more questions-Biden

 Totally garbage poll.

The poll questions don't match the rhetoric about them . . . by a long shot. Nothing anti-democratic asked at all.

Pure fantasy masquerading as truth.

Count me in on abolishing the State of the Union addresses to Congress

They're embarrassing enough anyway, on both sides, without the antics from the peanut gallery.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Killer earthquakes in Turkey make five 7.0+ so far in 2023, but frequency was actually down in 2022 to 11 from 19 in 2021

 

Both full time jobs and overall civilian employment in Jan 2023 remain relatively strong but both are far from US potential: 12 million more could be working but are not

Full time as a percentage of civilian population dropped to 49.32% in January 2023 from 49.77% in December.

 

Peak full time at 53.6% in 2000 applied to 2023 would mean 10 million more working full time than actually do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Civilian employment as a percentage of civilian population dropped to 59.67% in January 2023 from 59.99% in December.

 

Peak employment at 64.4% in 2000 applied to 2023 would mean 12 million more working at all jobs than actually do.

 

Pathetic underperformance.

 

The shortfall with peak manufacturing jobs in 1979 at 19.4 million was 6.6 million in 2022. 

 

 

Natural gas prices have collapsed from the summer on unseasonably warm January temperatures meeting 2022 high production levels

Grand Rapids, MI, had its 5th warmest January by average temperature in Jan 2023 since 1892. Case is similar in many US cities which broke into the top 10 warmest Januaries on record, including Indy, Syracuse NY, Columbus OH, and Madison WI.

Good to know.

The "tight" US labor market is a complete myth, the deleterious effects of globalization on US workers since 2000 the sorry reality

 Part of Trump's success in 2016 was his appeal to the former greatness of America, which resonated most with those who remembered what it was like in this country before the elites shipped their jobs to China.

Americans are not working up to their potential because it's not worth it. They have voted with their feet. 2019 was but a shadow of what might have been.

No cash, no hope, no jobs, no bacon. Alcohol, drugs, and accidental death.

 

 

 

 

This is the third anniversary of Andersen telling Fauci that some of the features of the virus look engineered and that Andersen and three others doubted the genome evolved

The virus was most likely illegally engineered at Wuhan in sub-standard lab conditions funded against the rules in part by Fauci's NIH, subsequently accidentally escaped, and went on to kill millions and destroy the economies and livelihoods of millions more.

I think one low-level guy went to jail for the 2008 financial crisis, but so far no one is even being investigated for the travesty which occurred under Fauci.

Thankfully @R_H_Ebright of Rutgers University won't let go of this story.

 

US Treasury Department in fiscal 2021 said US fiscal policy is unsustainable because debt to GDP will reach 700% by 2096

 Caused by deficit spending.

In other words, required spending by legislated programs is not being matched by required tax increases to fund that spending. The gap produces the deficits naturally year after year.

Eventually it goes to the moon.

U.S. should pay $14 trillion in reparations to Black Americans, say authors Darity and Mullen

President Biden: "Wages Are Up, They Are Growing Faster Than Inflation"

Noted "bond king" Jeff Gundlach is unaware of the existence of the 27th Amendment, and wants to decrease bond supply to increase its value!

What a shock, huh? No deficit spending means no borrowing, and no new bonds, making the existing dwindling supply worth more and more!

Seriously, if we continued to pay interest on the debt out of current tax revenues as we do, and then amortized the debt principal of ~$32 trillion, you'd have to extract ~$3,212.85 in additional taxes every year for thirty years for every man, woman, and child alive now to have a hope of paying it off ($1.066 trillion per year).

Current federal receipts average in excess of $4 trillion already, so that's an increase of annual revenues to the federal government through taxation in excess of 25%.

About as likely as spending curbs.
