So a big jump in inflation for america and the jobs creation was well below the expected million... So can the educated fellows of saddoboxing.com tell me, what's going on here, is this bidens actions?.... The unemployment benefits? The printing of money/stimulus stuff(which I don't know if it actually went through or not).... Real questions btw, I'm a bit of a dummy and many people know more than me..
Krugman Wonks Out: Return of the Monetary Cockroaches https://nyti.ms/3odz4gZ

Paul Krugman remains unworried about inflation, is he reliable, the NYT certainly seems left leaning.

I've been reading about what @Spicoli is experiencing with the gas. For now it is just the east coast.

As far as the jobs, yeah there is a question of how many people aren't taking jobs because of either stimulus checks or extended unemployment benefits. Many are service related and there are those who feel (iffy) working service sector during a pandemic which adds to the number of jobs needing filled.

As usual it is turned partisan- claiming liberals want to give money away- regardless of the fact they did it twice under 45 and he actually wanted to give more than Biden's $1400. Could Biden alone with a check just a month or so ago be responsible solely for the inflation? neither of the previous 2 stimulus helped rise inflation?

In other words if we're honest and ask- what would've been different had 45 got another term- he stated:

President Donald Trump wants you to get a $2,000 stimulus check.

Congress already passed a stimulus package of $600 for each individual and $1,200 for each couple. Calling these stimulus checks “ridiculously low,” Trump now wants Congress to scrap $600 stimulus checks and instead approve $2,000 stimulus checks.

As far as unemployment - it is difficult IMO to dispute that 45 wouldn't have extended unemployments benefits as he did it once before:


So no matter who got in office, free money aka socialism was at the top of the agenda. & Now Republicans claim they wouldn't have done what 45 campaigned on- more stimulus and extended UE.


side note- curious what you or anyone gets when you type on youtube:
trump wants to extend unemployment benefits

vs

Fox news trump wants to extend unemployment benefits


when I type the 1st I get videos relevant to trump signing Unemployment compensation.
when I type in the 2nd- all I see are videos of Biden or videos of nobodies claiming how this hurts small businessess or Mitch McConnell acosting him or everything not related to POTUS45.


When POTUS 45 gave out free money, FOX touted this as a compassionate conservative taking care of America. Now it's killing America.


edit- NY Times is the stepchild, the whipping boy. Republicans bash it for news, then herald it as the best for buying books.
OH, Trump's son or daughter had a number one seller.
where?
NY Times!

IMO it is like every other newspaper that can give 3 sides to one story.
front page gives the top stories.
and somewhere inside like the Miami Herald or Milwaukee Journal, Chicago Tribune there will be a commentary section for & dissent.
In other words if front page staes 7 killed in shooting, then story 2 will be a liberal blaming guns, story 3 will be a conservative blaming criminals, not the guns.

Right Wingers in my bold opinion usually take the editorial story and claim that is the entire way the newspaper functions. In the Journal Sentinel it is called the crossroads section where they state- this is the review or opinion & in no way reflects the newspapers standing on the issue presented.

San Jose Mercury news, Wallstreet journal are a few others you can compare or balance with NY Times.
