    This is pure fiction. The Federal Reserve is working with the Biden administration to cool inflation. Instead of slowing the increase in government spending and slowing the administration’s anti fossil policies, the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates to cool borrowing and demand.

    There is no conflict between the administration and Federal Reserve. Instead the Federal Reserve is doing what it can to allow Biden to push its irresponsible spending. Of course the down side is huge increases in the cost borrowing for the government. Soon the Federal Government will be spending more on interest than national defense.

    Because the bribes the Biden crime family has taken, the welfare of American citizens can be no higher than third in Biden’s public policy considerations. Ahead of are the Chinese and Ukrainians, if not others. Biden treats American citizens with contempt.

    Biden has shut down pipelines, and limited oil and gas leases, which raises energy prices. Amazingly he issued an executive order that prevents us from exploring for the rare earth elements, which are required to power his precious EVs, in the U.S. The Chinese get that market instead. And, oh yes, the Biden crime family have collected millions from the Chinese.

    If you progressives don’t like these allegations, you need to do better than use the “there is no evidence” excuse. “The big guy” has collected at least $290,000 in “loan repayment checks.”

    Ain't it so.ething?
    86% of the American people are wrong, only 14% truly understand how good we've got it with Biden.

    Why, its like those ungrateful ILLEGAL MIGRANTS turning up their noses at the accommodations in New York!




    Opps. We aren't supposed to talk about that. Until the terrorist attack thats coming. That will be trumps fault, obviously. Then we'll talk, eh?

    We use nitrogen pumps for all kinds of services. Drilling, production, pipeline purges, nitrogen assisted fracs, gas plant turn-arounds, and some other oddball one-offs that need nitrogen for whatever reason.

    I think they are in conflict.

    The massive flows of red ink are inflationary, and
    The interests rates are trying to contain the inflation from massive flows of red ink.

    Now you are right that Fed enables the deficit spending through notes and bonds, but, that's what they do. And the result for us rising mortgage rates, credit card rates, prices and eroding currency.

    We’re making more now than we were under Trump, more under Trump than Obama, more under Obama than W.

    It’s almost as if the administration has nothing to do with getting better jobs as experience increases.

    The Federal Reserve interest rate policy is a bandaid to cover for the excessive spending. Yes, the two policies are on conflict, but that’s the way the Biden administration wants it. The excessive government spending hurts people who are looking to buy their first homes and finance the purchase other durable goods.

    The people who run the Biden administration can’t get the socialist government they crave, but they continue to grow government toward that goal.

    The upcoming election is all about the candidates. Biden is underwater in almost all issue categories. Most Americans think the job Biden has done sucks to say the least.

    Overall job approval 40.0%, disapproval 55.3%

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

    Economy 38.3% approve, 59.3% disapprove

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_biden_job_approval_economy-7321.html

    Inflation 34.0% approve, 63.0% disapprove

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_biden_approval_inflation-7832.html

    Immigration 33.6% approve, 63.4% disapprove

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-immigration-7359.html

    Foreign Policy 38.0% approve, 57.6% disapprove

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_biden_job_approval_foreign_policy-7322.html

    Crime 36.8% approve, 57.8% disapprove

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_biden_approval_crime-7833.html

    Direction of the country 25.0% right track, 66.5% wrong track

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/direction_of_country-902.html

    You also have Biden underwater in 40 states as to his job performance.

    And yet, the best Trump can do is a basic tie with Biden. Which I think says a heck of a lot more about Trump than Biden. I’m sure any other candidate than Trump going up against a sitting president with the above numbers would be 10-15 and maybe more points ahead of Biden. Not in a basic tie giving the MOE of plus or minus 3 points.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-election-trump-vs-biden-7383.html

    Fact is most Americans dislike and don’t want neither Trump nor Biden to become the next president. 61% of all Americans don’t want Biden to run again, question 16. 58% of all Americans don’t want Trump to run again either, question 17. Bottom line, both major parties with their choice of candidates are telling most Americans to stick it where the sun don’t shine.

    If all factors stay the same while prices increase, it would mean more profits- but that isn't what happens. Labor availability changes labor costs, shortages in labor, supplies, especially changes in fed regulations or policies, cause prices to rise because supplies fall. The picture at the moment is not the picture of the long term, just one of the pieces of the puzzle you need to put together to see the future- have the vision to navigate your company. In terms of the flow of oil and the damage done, Biden has offset that by selling off more than 40% of US Oil Reserves to offset rising prices.

    WE ARE dependent on oil; to throw a hammer in the gearbox of production will cause more turmoil and price volatility than anything. The economy is going to get worse before it can get better- but the management of the nation has got to get better first in order to make that happen. Companies don't want you to know how hard they are struggling; they are working to appear normal in an abnormal situation.

    At the moment, one hell of a lot of shuffling is going on to keep things alive, and appearing stable- but reserve revenues are being depleted to do that, and it can't go on forever.
    In terms of the flow of oil and the damage done, Biden has hidden that by selling off more than 40% of US Oil Reserves to offset rising prices. The factors controlling prices and profits are not limited to what the oil company does.

    One has to be stupid to think they can flip a switch and convert the nation from fossil fuels to electricity. Across the board, Biden's decisions, or those telling him what to say- are not working for the future of the nation. Just the turmoil Biden has caused in the oil industry has cost billions. Not only is the man without vision or compassion, he's downright incompetent, and that was true before the onset of dementia.
    Of course, he's not only botching the job on oil, he's attacking home appliances now on a broad scale. Some natural gas, but electric items too. Like he thinks as president, he can just decree it.

    The old saying about power and corruption is true- and power is addictive, like a narcotic. Power must also be held by people with honor and strength, and with dedication to the duty that all elected people have- serving the best interests of the people, honestly and openly. We do not have that, instead, we have people who bounce around on the most visible issues and botch the job like a plumber trying to do heart surgery. Oil and energy are vital to everyone's life, and while we will eventually transition to other forms of power, the transition needs to be a slow progression, not a declaration of war.

    At the moment, the price of oil is still relatively stable- but don't bet on it staying that way. If we don't get some real competence back in the Congress and Presidency, economic disaster is a sure thing.

    I think the most recent election day showed that Americans are quite concerned about women's bodily autonomy and are willing to vote to fix it.

    Off year elections are just that. Some say they can be used to forecast the next election, others say they have no bearing. Youngkin’s win in 2021 certainly didn’t bode well for the GOP in 2022 although the GOP did regain control of the house. But there never was a red wave in the forecast if one paid attention to the generic congressional ballot. Control of congress was up and down, sometimes the democrats led, sometimes the republicans led. The red wave prospect was nothing more than hype.

    Government inappropriate overspending harms everyone in the long run, including the recipients of that overspending.
