I’m not so sure about the ultimate outcome the author is talking about, but boy does he hit the nail on the head over wasteful and inefficient spending.
I’m also not sure if I agree with him on the resistance to a move to nuclear power. I think the left is going to wake up and smell the coffee on that one soon.

Nuclear Energy - obvious. We've had this discussion. I'm not convinced that hte left will "wake up" to it...i'll have to see more tangible evidence before I agree to that.
Severe spending cuts to every single program, agency, project, etc... all the sacred cows. If you want to leave SS alone, then cut the equivalency somewhere else ( start with all the obsolete agencies like the REA and EDA). Then go to the agencies that duplicate the work of another agency (some of these are also obsolete like the EDA)
And the No. 1 federal boondoggle lawmakers could eliminate tomorrow without hurting anyone at all: The Economic Development Administration (EDA), which duplicates the activities of at least 62 other community development programs. The EDA will spend $350 million this year to spur local economic growth. Yet a recent GAO study found the EDA had no impact at all. Zippo. Five-year savings: $933 million.

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
As for the nuclear energy, I'm with Ibanez. I don't see any real movement from the left on this, they are still virulently opposed to nuclear power just because they've always been opposed. Chernobyl!! Fukashima!!! That's all they know, and that's all they care to know. Anti-nuke lefties are the left's equivalents of the right's climate change deniers. Both don't know what they're talking about but they'll loudly defend their right to be ignorant of the facts.Ibanez wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:36 amThe solutions to some of our problems are as obvious as the fake tan on Trumps face.CID1990 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:02 am I figured I would put this here instead of in the Misc thread.

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
The anti-nuke left is as sheepish as the MAGA right. There are already voices on the left talking about the green benefits to nuke power. There were a couple pragmatists in the most recent Dem primary. As soon as they have someone from their own camp telling them how to think, the lefties will come around.GannonFan wrote:As for the nuclear energy, I'm with Ibanez.

Chernobyl - Failure caused by Soviet safety culture, critical design flaws and operator error. The failure after the safety test had NO response procedure in the operating guidelines of the facility. The safety test and procedures were inadequate
Fukashima - Failure caused by earthquake and tsunami. The reactor shut itself down correctly but the surrounding power grid was crippled and attributed to the disaster. The nuclear disaster was caused by nature.
And just for fun -
3-Mile Island - Failure due to non-nuclear system.
Coal, Natural Gas and Oil production kills more people than nuclear energy. They also pollute the environment more than nuclear energy.

if the rate drops below 7.5% by the end of 2022 then the White House and JSO will tell us Biden was right

Meanwhile Brandon is talking about carrying around dead dogs. Nero fiddles while Rome burns..
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/15/produce ... 2022-.htmlThe producer price index, which measures wholesale prices, rose 1% in January and 9.7% for the 12-month period, the latter just off the record high.
Core PPI rose 0.9%. Both increases were at least double the Wall Street estimates.

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
I mean, inflation isn't permanent. Eventually it'll drop. Time frames are all relative, I guess. Transitory in the sense that we'll be out of it within 6 months or 6 years? Maybe those sort of mental gymnastics were in mind when they started using "Transitory".

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
We’ve had raging inflation and zero % interest rates for a year now. One of the best ways to tame inflation is to raise interest rates. Yet the fed hasn’t raised them 1 iota. WTF are they waiting for?

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
?? Why does it need to drop? I thought every time you go to an old person's birthday party and they do one of those things were they go over the cost of milk, a house, and other things from 50 years ago, I never recall them being cheaper now than they were then. Prices aren't going to come back down, the horse is out of the barn on that. Biden doesn't need to worry about it, to him at his age it is transitory, he doesn't need to worry about 5 years or 10 years in the future. Unless inflation carries over to the afterlife.Ibanez wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 3:21 pm

Re: Bidenflation and Shortage thread
Disinflation does happen. Inflation does eventually correct itself. You can look at any chart and see the rate of inflation goes up and down. That's the transitory nature, IMO, that Biden is referring to. So he isn't really wrong...but he isn't being accurate b/c as you pointed out, prices increase over the years. He's using one measurement over another to give warm fuzzies .GannonFan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 4:03 pm?? Why does it need to drop?

Maybe I don't fully understand inflation, deflation and disinflation but I can read a chart and see that rate of inflation is the highest it's been since the 80s.
