I'm not sure, but I think TRex predicted this, people will freeze to death in the EU this winter.
And crow bait joe is doing the same thing to us over his new green deal, his executive orders will be forth coming, maybe tomorrow.
The good thing is, the demonrats and turncoats will be freezing to death too, this is what they voted for.

Well, the 2nd quarter GDP is a -.9%, now, most would say you are officially in a full blown recession. But crow bait joe and his bunch of financial clowns say we are not.

Now, Joe Manchin has agreed to almost a 1/2 trillion dollar new green deal, except they renamed it something like an inflation reconciliation bill. You can call it what you want, but taxing corporations a minimum of 15% will just trickle down to us and/or lead to people losing their jobs.
You think inflation is bad now, just wait. I'm going to have to start selling pencils down in front of the bank.

Frankly, with the influx of illegals, over the past 19 months, the bar for being in recession should be placed at "less than +0.75%" growth, so we are actually deep into a recession.
That article makes alarm bells go off in my head, in almost every paragraph. Lots of political propaganda (invest? taxpayer dollars) empty promises (reduce the deficit, over a period of years) and plenty of woke stuff (reduce carbon).Now, Joe Manchin has agreed to almost a 1/2 trillion dollar new green deal, except they renamed it something like an inflation reconciliation bill.

Let us be clear:
Government spends money. Pretending it will invest X amount over the next Y years is just pretending to know the future. Pretending makes children happy, and does nothing for adults.
Government spending money, it doesn't have, causes inflation. Corporations don't pay taxes, they collect taxes from us. Increased taxes drives us towards (or deeper into) recession. No promise to reduce the deficit in future years should be taken seriously.
A bill that has deficit spending and a tax increase built into it will drive us further into stagflation.
The only good thing I have to say is that it isn't as bad as the previous Build Back Broke bill that Biden put forth.

Looks like crow bait joe's newest addition on his spending spree may pass.
Here's two different reports, one of the reports is from May 2022 on his trillion dollar bill:
This link is for the current spending spree, which was originally for 350 billion dollars but it's up to 750 billion dollars:
https://republicans-budget.house.gov/press-release/cbo-confirms-democrats-plan-wont-reduce-inflation-showers-benefits-on-wealthy-and-harms-americas-economy/
This link is for the last trillion dollar crow bait got:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/inflation-reduction-act-or-radical-green-new-deal
P.S. If you read the entire 800 page bill, you will see that all fossil fuels are going to get hit with a fossil fuel tax, which of course will be passed down to each of us, electricity, gas, diesel, heating oil, natural gas, etc.. It's real sad what this clown and his administration is doing to this country and to its legal citizens.

All fuels will be going up, how soon, don't know. BUT you can bet it's going to cost a lot more for you gas, diesel, heating oil and electricity.
OH and the 80,000 plus IRS agents they're going to higher, if you fill out long form, you will be audited:

STORES & RESTAURANTS are closing, because they can't find workers. Do you really think they will find those 80+ thousand new IRS agents?? Have you seen Wash DC, lately? It's like a ghost town around these federal offices. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

ReadyMom, most of the new IRS agents are nothing more then accounts and will not be working in DC, they will be working in every state, mostly around cities. Now, the IRS also has a criminal division, these guy's are the ones that carry the guns and go out to make arrests and are classified as federal law enforcement.
The hiring process will begin by placing ad's in newspapers and online, these positions will be for accounts (about 95%) and the other 5% will be for the criminal division.
I got my job with the DOJ/Federal Bureau of Prisons by answering an ad in the local city (Johnstown) paper.

Re: Financial Crisis-2022
And what is the incentive to join a notoriously hated agency as a college grad with an accounting degree? The entry level pay is squat. Too many white collar jobs now offer 100% work from home. Many IRS neighborhood centers have closed. Two were within an hour of me shut prior to Covid.
No doubt part of this price gouging is to get the retiree and low income worker back in the workforce to drive down wage inflation. The Target closest to me pays $18/hr. To start. The closest Mickey D's still has only the drive thru open. The drive thru pays $17/hr. And I live in Podunk.

You are right about that.Blondie wrote:Shortly after 9/11 congress said they were going to hire something like 23,000+ CBP Inspectors. Never happened. More like 1,300 were actually hired over a 3 year period. And RM is right, you'll never fill even 8,000 of those jobs. Long and fairly intense background and you gotta pee in a cup. Fewer than 1 in 10 applicants pass. Â Weed is still illegal on the federal level.
Some actually closed, others, however, went underground (not literally, but that is another story). One, I know of, after McVeigh displayed his displeasure with the FBI and BATF, quietly took down all of their signs and stopped telling anyone they were an IRS facility. (shades of Gestapo, anyone). I know where they are, and they are still IRS. The IRS sent me a letter, asking about an entry on my 1040, and used an unlisted zip code in their return address, so I did some research. I used to live right up the street from that building. It is about 10 miles from where someone flew a small plane into an IRS office window, in one of their publicly known facilities. I am sure that heightened their motivation to keep some of their facilities confidential.And what is the incentive to join a notoriously hated agency as a college grad  with an accounting degree?  The entry level pay is squat.

It will probably stay that way until they "renovate" and "modernize." Most Mickey D's have dismissed most of their counter staff, and replaced them with "kiosks" for ordering. I refuse to go there any more. (Rarely did before, now never.)No doubt part of this price gouging is to get the retiree and low income worker back in the workforce to drive down wage inflation.

Here at home, heating oil is still at $4.00/gallon, gas is still at $4.00/gallon and hard coal is now $320.00/ton, that's a 22% increase from just last week and it's going to go higher:

The Supreme Court, just last month, IIRC, ruled that they don't have the jurisdiction to "consider climate change from coal's greenhouse gas emissions."Friday's ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Morris requires government officials to conduct a new environmental review prior to resuming coal sales from federal lands. The judge said the government's previous review of the program during the Trump administration had not adequately considered the climate damage from coal's greenhouse gas emissions, among other effects.
But then, why would a woke judge bother to follow the law. /sarcasm

This article discusses the ruling I was referring to.rick1 wrote:
I didn't know the supreme court made a ruling.
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/supreme-court-limits-epa-s-authority-to-regulate-greenhouse-gas-emissions
It isn't as direct a prohibition as I thought, but the general idea is there: the statutes the agencies operate under do not give them authority to add "climate" to the list of things the environmental studies must take into consideration.The Court applied the “Major Questions Doctrine,” which applies a more skeptical review when an agency discovers in a “long-extant statute an unheralded power” representing a “transformative expansion in its regulatory authority” with substantial national impacts. Â Slip op. at 5. Â In such cases, the Court has held, a general delegation of authority may not be enough; rather, the agency’s action must be supported by clear statutory authorization.
Chief Justice Roberts drafted the majority opinion, which states:Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible “solution to the crisis of the day.” New York v. United States, 505 U. S. 144, 187 (1992). But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d). A decision of such magnitude and conseÂquence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting purÂsuant to a clear delegation from that representative body.
In the cases under review, woke judges are saying (even if the wording isn't explicit) that drilling and mining cannot take place, unless the environmental studies include examination of the carbon emissions caused by burning the fossil fuels mined or extracted through drilling. This is a clear violation of the intent of the Supreme Court ruling, not to mention a complete sham perpetrated on the coal, oil and gas industries.

The Demonrats have a stated goal of making fossil fuels too expensive to use.rick1 wrote:$19.7 billion, with a B, tax on all fossil fuels, you think you pay too much for your natural gas, gasoline, heating oil and coal, nope, the "DEMORATS" want you to spend more or freeze. Not to mention the price you're going to pay for electricity.
...
Because of the nature of our system, it won't matter where that fossil fuel tax is applied, the cost will spread through the system to everyone. Just some before others. Therefore some straightforward math can be used: 100Million customers paying $20B is $200 per customer. Some will pay it at the gas pump, some at the grocer, and almost everyone will pay it in their utility bills.
Sen. Joe Manchin must have been smoking some good dope to come to the conclusions quoted in that article.

OH, and the trouble you get in when you say, "I told you so".
My wife has always been on board more or less , but convincing the mother in law was a different story until she couldn't find the things she likes to use when baking. Now she is " I will buy 3 or 4 and hide them under the bed"
There may be hope for her yet lol

Here at home, heating oil is still at $4.00/gallon, gas is still at $4.00/gallon and hard coal is now $320.00/ton, that's a 22% increase from just last week and it's going to go higher:

Wow. This brings back memories of life in IL, back in the 60's.rick1 wrote:Not really, the K-1 kerosene at walmart is the real good stuff, the stuff they put in your oil tank is the cheapest they make, but won't freeze like regular heating oil. It's used for oil tanks that are outside in the freezing weather.
But, I get what you're saying.
I grew up on a corporate grain farm, just outside of Peoria, in the 60's, but move to a less rural area around 1970.

I find it interesting that most economists only discuss half of the equation at a time, like they are separable. Here is a quote from the article:
Well that is right. You have to raise the interest rate higher than the inflation rate. But, you also have to keep it lower than the growth rate. The current published "growth" rate is about 2%, so you have to keep the interest rate below 2% or you push us into recession.“If inflation is 8%, the playbook says you’ve got to raise rates higher than inflation, which means 9%,” the co-founder of Mobius Capital Partners told Bloomberg TV on Monday. While policy makers may not hike so aggressively should consumer prices soften, the 86-year-old investor said he doesn’t see inflation receding “anytime soon.”
Of course, that is laughable. First, the real growth rate is 2% minus inflation, or negative 6% (even using their own, biased, numbers). Second, you can't be over 8% and under 2%. The inevitable result is going to be stagflation, as we saw in the Carter era.
Government spending is only part of the problem, although that part is getting bigger by the day. Last year, the two biggest parts of the problem were reduction in Oil production, as compared to where it should have been ( 4% above 2019 production ), and the reluctance of people to go back to work, which means less production in the supply demand equation. Â
As the interest payments on our federal government's debt becomes unmanageable, we could see interest rates climb out of the control of the "Fed," (because no one will want to buy our government's bonds) forcing our government to print ever larger quantities of money to cover the interest payments. That could very well lead us in the direction of "hyperinflation." (There is a real definition for that word, and we are no where near it. Yet. )

If the above isn't enough to get your goat, joe crow 2.0 has been threatening Saudi Arabia over them not producing more oil.
Well, Saudi Arabia is now threatening countries (U.S.) with more oil cuts.
Watch out folks, it's going to get a whole lot worse:

From your link:
"newly acquired equity" means that it was a price bubble caused by too low interest rates and panic buying, as people fled the Blue Cities. Now, the interest rates have climbed and and that killed the market, so home price bubble is bursting. Fast.Homeowners are beginning to regret their decision to buy during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period when prices surged 45% rather quickly. Now, those who bought their properties before 2020 have a combined $5 trillion more than before the pandemic hit.
“In the span of just three months, U.S. mortgage holders saw a total of $1.3T in newly acquired equity evaporate,” Black Knight Data & Analytics President Ben Graboske explained.
We may see actual losses, if we can't get energy policy straightened out, and soon. If that doesn't happen, inflation will continue, interest rates will continue to be high, and maybe even climb some more.
