Isn't it obvious that Democrats want to run the country in the ground for a depended society. This 3.5 Trillion deal is nothing but a line the pockets of Congress bill-OG

The U.S. economy appears to be sliding into another recession based on declining consumer sentiment – even though employment and wage growth suggest otherwise, according to two academic economists.

New research published last week by David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College and Alex Bryson of the University College London suggests that consumer expectations indexes from the Conference Board and the University of Michigan tend to predict economic downturns up to 18 months in advance in the U.S.

BIDEN'S PROPOSED 39.6% TAX HIKE WOULD HIT THESE INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES

Every recession since the 1980s has been precipitated by at least a 10-point drop in the expectations indices, they found. Other reliable indicators include a single monthly rise of at least 0.3 percentage points in unemployment and two consecutive months of employment rate declines.

"The economic situation in 2021 is exceptional, however, since unprecedented direct government intervention in the labor market through furlough-type arrangements has enabled employment rates to recover quickly from the huge downturn in 2020," Blanchflower and Bryson wrote. "However, downward movements in consumer expectations in the last six months suggest the economy in the United States is entering recession now (Autumn 2021)."

Too many dollars chasing too few goods and services, as it it now. So let's dump another $3.5 trillion into the economy, bankrupt the providers of those goods and services with higher taxes, and see what happens.

Pure lunacy.

So we are stealing $3.5 trillion from the economy. Oh no!

And dumping $3.5 trillion to the economy. Oh no!

Should I be laughing at that, or scared?
 
Please, like economists know anything. If there is another recession we all the cause: Trump. At least that's what 'the buck stops here' Biden will tell us.

Joe Biden has said "the previous administration" more times than he said the N-word during the 1985 hearings.
 
We were already heading toward a recession before COVID hit. It is the one upside to the nation----the relief/stimulus money delayed the inevitable.
