I ain’t writing an essay to talk about the whole list at once.

The American Rescue Plan

Oh yeah, that thing that’s the reason American inflation is higher than comparable countries?

The authors don’t mince words about why they think that is, writing: “Estimates suggest that fiscal support measures designed to counteract the severity of the pandemic’s economic effect may have contributed to this divergence by raising inflation about 3 percentage points by the end of 2021.”

That is: The US did a lot more stimulus than these other countries, and now it’s seeing a lot more core inflation. And the stimulus that most stands out is Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan — because it was enacted after more than $3 trillion had already been spent to stimulate the economy under Trump, with one big chunk of that being approved just three months prior.

“We put gasoline on the fire. That’s basically what the ARP did. It was almost written as if we didn’t just pass a trillion-dollar stimulus in December,” said Goldwein.

Also…

You know only a tiny little slice went to working class Americans right?

Like, everyone got the $1400, even Bill Gates. But a lot went to people, companies, and states that just didn’t need it.

That article is really good, and somebody got paid to write it.

So go read that, soak it up.

And then, if it’s not too late, I honestly wouldn’t mind getting into that infrastructure bill. That’s a doozy, and if you’re bragging about, there’s a lot you don’t know.

But let’s be honest, this comment and that article are more than most would read.
