Biden has been in office a little over a year. Let’s see how he’s doing.
Biden needs to get tougher
Putin: “Anyone who tries to interfere with us, or even more so, to create threats for our country and our people, must know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never before experienced in your history.”
Instead of a sweeping package that crippled top Russian banks, cut its financial transactions off from the global economy, or personally singled out Vladimir Putin -- the U.S. and its allies settled on a modest “first tranche” of penalties. Markets responded with a shrug, underwhelmed by the tit-for-tat approach.
I guess whether it’s our border or Ukraine‘s border, it’s really not that important to Biden.
Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.
I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead).

For all of the alarmists out there and the doomsayers propagated the false narrative that climate change is an existential threat there is more good data to tell them they are wrong

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.
