That damn Radical Soshialist Sleepy Joe Biden is at it again screwing around with our economy. Garnish his wages, take away his expense account, lock up Camp David and hold his feet to the fire.

Want to know why? He's done it again. President Biden, you should take up golf like TFG and ruin our economy, but don't steal any classified documents, that could get you in real trouble.

Easing inflation, lower gas prices boost U.S. consumer sentiment

Quote:
After months of gloom, Americans are finally starting to feel better about the economy and more resigned to inflation.

Consumer sentiment, which hit rock bottom in June, has begun inching up in recent weeks. Gas prices are down. Decades-high inflation appears to be easing. And at the same time, Americans are making small changes — buying meat in bulk, for example, or shifting more of their shopping to discount chains — suggesting that many families are learning to deal with higher prices.
Thank you President Biden. Its been a difficult year for small businesses, wages rising and cost of materials through the roof due to a clogged supply chain and the usual gouging.

PS: I am resorting to sarcasm because I am sick and tired of the wingnuts dumping on Biden for the inflation he had no control over.

Micron exec: New Idaho semiconductor factory ‘not possible without’ CHIPS Act

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/video/m...144319393.html

$15B factory. A big deal.

Unlike this one: Remember when the village idiot was touting Donny's "vote of confidence" from the Ford CEO? Didn't pan out, of course - he was soon shown how idiotic his thread was, and never returned to it. http://politicalchat.org/showthread.php?t=11307 ROFL.

I have no idea how the Chips Act relates to keeping pressure on US employers to return manufacturing to the US.

Just curious, though. Why are lefties opposed to government incentives provided to corporations....until the Dems do it?

Dunno. Perhaps you should find yourself a "lefty" and ask them?

That thread is really a blast from the past. What it most clearly reveals is that Whell was fully enthralled with Trump from the get-go and believed that Trump was actually good at something beyond lying and conning the gullible. It further reveals that leaders in government recognized early how susceptible and easily manipulated Trump was with flattery.

Can't deny I like, and still do, reversing the trend of outsourcing manufacturing outside the US. I can't deny that there were some early successes with it under Trump, including getting China to agree to increase US imports. If, in your narrow view, it means that I was "enthralled" - using the most expansive definition of that word ever conceived - I guess I was.

If pressure is felt by business it's self-imposed. Have you read the Chips Act?
