Is the Fed being Fair?

Since December 2002 the Fed has increased the assets on its balance sheet by almost 8 Trillion dollars.  

When the FED increases it's balance sheets it creates money by taking the assets from a seller and crediting the seller with dollars in the banking system. These dollars are then saved in small part with the remaining respent through consumption or investment, with these respent funds then being saved in small  part and then further respent through consumption or investment and so on and so on.  The result is that the 8 Trillion injected into the economy results in a manyfold increase in the supply of money in the economy.

All of this money in the economy leads to lower interest rates, more investment and more spending AND when done to excess can lead to inflation.

A few observations.

It can make sense for the FED to inject money when there is a crisis like we see in the real estate crisis (1.2 trillion) and the pandemic (3.25 trillion.)  

What doesn't make clear sense to me is the significant difference in money that the FED has injected into the economy between the different political parties controlling the Whitehouse.  We see dramatic injections during Obama and Biden. We see much small injections and even withdrawals during Bush and Trump.

Regardless of ones hate for Trump you have to recognize how wrong and dangerous this is for our country. 

Democrats created a false narrative and then propagated and use that false narrative to try to win an election, and then when that filled they undermined the functioning of the President of United States.

Biden fails to prepare

While Biden has been asking the military to prepare to fight climate change, not an existential threat, fight systemic racism, a false narrative claiming all disparities are the result of racism, and fight for the right of men to compete against women, he has failed to prepare for real threats.

And note: In the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the United States, Russia, and Britain committed ‘to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine’ and ‘to refrain from the threat or use of force’ against the country. Those assurances played a key role in persuading the Ukrainian government in Kyiv to give up what amounted to the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal, consisting of some 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads

Wait for National Health Care

Biden Better at Inflation

 While it may contradict his promise to not raise taxes, Biden's inflation is a significant hidden tax on American's, especially poor and middle class.

Biden against free markets and efficiency

How is this even constitutional?  Can next President sign executive order favoring non-union contracts?

Stupidity

Stupid. But not surprising. Given it’s a Democrat governor in a teacher union state.  

Yes-Biden did screw up Afghan withdrawal

Inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction,January 2021, warned Biden that the Afghan air force would quickly collapse. 

Navy Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, the top U.S. commander on the ground during evacuation: Would have been more orderly evacuation if Biden had paid attention to the indicators of what was happening on the ground.

Why don’t these Black Lives Matter?

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

This is good? Biden lifts Iran sanctions

Joe Biden lifts sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

This is after Trump abandoned Obama’s ineffective agreement that gave Iran billions and a path and permission to make a bomb within 10 years, an agreement based on lies and cheating from the start

AOC is wrong and a threat to freedom

 How can almost 1/2 of America believe this person?

Rep. (D-N.Y.) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez BA Economics, member of Democratic Socialists of America:“Capitalism not a redeemable system.”

But, Capitalism/Free Markets are the most efficient way to allocate limited resources to meet unlimited demands. Socialism doesn’t work  

Milton Friedman, PhD Economics, Nobel Prize Economics: “Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”

Friedrich Hayek, PhD Economics, Nobel Prize Economics: “A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.” 

Adam Smith, Father of Economics/Capitalism: “In general, if any branch of trade, or any division of labour, be advantageous to the public, the freer and more general the competition, it will always be the more so.”

Joe - People still aren't working!

People still aren't working

Biden's claims are meaningless and intellectually dishonest as his job creation comes after a shutdown when you'd expect record growth AND his jobs creation post pandemic are still just a fraction of Trumps job creation post pandemic as meaningless as this comparison is.

Biden's Better?

1. Better at killing police.
2. Better with Covid deaths 
3. Better at spending (proposed record spending)
4. Better at dividing Country
5. Better at creating inflation
6. Better at getting people NOT to work
7. Better at eroding GDP 
8. Better at filibustering (even though it's racist)
9. Better at increasing illegal immigration
10. Better at false woke narratives
11. Better at hurting underprivileged students
12. Better at taxing (proposed world record taxation) 

Biden killing police?

Maybe the Biden administration should not have supported violent rioters. 

Maybe Biden‘s party shouldn’t support crime loving district attorneys.

Maybe Biden and the Democrats shouldn’t propagate the false narrative that police are racists.

Where’s BLM

GDP under Biden nothing special

Biden claims he has had record GDP growth.  That is only true if you look at it from an intellectually dishonest context.  

Biden's first months in office are following the pandemic shutdown, one of the largest economic drops in US history, and one where you would expect larger than average growth.  This is illustrated if you compare Trump after shutdown with Biden after shutdown.  This comparison shows that growth under Trump was dramatically higher than growth under Biden.

I'm not claiming growth under Trump reflects anything more than what might be expected after the large downturn.

I'm just claiming that I am tired of the intellectual dishonesty  of the Biden administration's braggadocious claims when, in fact,  they are nothing special.
