Inflation is the #1 concern for Americans, but when I made that statement a few weeks ago, I was supporting seditious acts by the brain trust here, because I wasn’t Sky-Screaming about January 6th 24x7.

The sky is falling

The number of people employed full-time hit an all-time record in May 2022, 132.8 million people.
Americans became the richest ever in Q4 '21, after big stock and housing booms. Real means adjusted for inflation. This is $14 trillion richer than the pre-pandemic peak, an increase of about $107,000 per household on average. The bottom 50% have record wealth too.
Real GDP, the key measure of the size of the economy in terms of income and production, regained the pre-pandemic peak in Q2 '21 and reached the all-time record in Q4'21 at $19.8 trillion. Despite the small drop in Q1 '22, GDP remains 2.8% larger than the pre-pandemic peak.
Corporate profits reached an all-time record in Q1 '22, at $2.74 trillion annualized, up about 30% vs. pre-pandemic. Don't ever say Democrats are bad for business!
Thanks to the Biden Rescue Act, real disposable personal income hit an all-time record in March '21 of $19.1 trillion. This is how much income people have to spend after taxes, annualized. At $15.1 trillion, it's still just above the pre-pandemic peak.
Federal budget deficit in fiscal year 2022 is running 80% lower than prior year, and 43% below the pre-pandemic level (2019). This is record deficit reduction and the main way the Biden Admin is fighting inflation by slowing the economy.
There is record job opportunity, with nearly 2 open jobs per unemployed person as of April '22 (latest data). This is a great time to switch jobs, with a nearly 14% increase in wages since Feb '20 pre-pandemic.
Perhaps the most important measure of economic health, the unemployment rate of 3.6% is just 0.1% from the 50-year low and at or below about 93% of our history back to 1948. Latino and Asian unemployment rates are below the pre-pandemic level.
Job creation rate of 542,000 per month since January 2021 (8.7 milllion total) is a presidential record. About 96% of the jobs lost due to the pandemic have been recovered.
Robust job growth, low unemployment, and record wealth do not a recession make. Federal Reserve Bank of NY estimates about 4% chance of recession in next year, assuming Fed doesn't overdo it on interest rate hikes.

Almost everybody is poorer than they were a year ago (in terms of purchasing power), because your rant ignored inflation, which unfortunately, is what people care about.

"unemployment rates are below the pre-pandemic level."

That's false, unless you believe that 3.5 is lower than 3.4.

so you deny that 9.1% inflation makes most people poorer than they were? you think most people got a raise larger then 9.1% this year?

Do you even understand what you’re disagreeing with? you’re denying that 9.1% inflation reduces purchasing power for most americans? by what possible
logic would you deny that?

(1) explain to us how i’m wrong, when i say that 9.1% inflation doesn’t make
most americans poorer, in terms of purchasing power

(2) any measure of CT’s economic health that excludes our long term debt ( tens of thousands of dollars for every human being in the state) is like judging the maiden voyage of the a titanic and excluding the iceberg.

here, the Yankee institute estimates that CTs unfunded debt is $62,500 for every taxpayer. Meaning, to fund the debt, a family of 4 must pay the state $250,000, in addition to our current taxes.

Tell me how that’s not indicative of a horribly, horribly run state.

High taxes are bad. Massive debt is bad. Having both at the same
time, is next- generation incompetence.

Why are those retirees moving to FL in big numbers? Why not to southern CA?

“actuarial” is an adjective. I’m an actuary.

CT imposed very high taxes on people
with very high incomes, meaning they had a ton of money. They spent all
that.

Then they took billions and billions from
the casinos. And they spent all
that.

Then they borrowed $62,500 for every single taxpayer in the state, and they spent all that.

And what do we have to show for all that spending? a state that often is among the nations leaders in population exodus. An awful state to do business in,,an awful state to retire to unless you’re rich. Public universities cost way more than most states. our cities are dangerous and gross. our roads and bridges are dilapidated.

the wildly successful blue city of providence in the wildly successful blue state of rhode island just borrowed half a billion to sure up it's wildly well managed pension fund...


https://turnto10.com/i-team/on-your-dime/on-your-dime-should-providence-borrow-515m-for-its-pension-fund

PROVIDENCE — Just days before Gov. Gina Raimondo's nomination to a Cabinet post in Washington, the state pension fund ended a long-expired $5-million, 10-year investment in a venture-capital firm that Raimondo co-founded.

The state is now out. The City of Providence is still in.

It is not yet clear why the state, and not the city, was able to extricate itself from Point Judith Capital after paying the firm $1,134,375 in management fees only and logging an average annual return of 5.11%.

Guess which "color" states fund the opposite "color" states? Should be an easy one.

The findings are clear: New York’s residents and businesses — which consistently send more revenue to the Federal government than any other state — continue to contribute more in taxes than the state receives back in Federal spending. Key findings from this year’s report include:

+ Preliminary analysis of 2017 data indicates that at -$35.6 billion, New York’s overall balance of payments remains the least favorable of any state in the nation. New York maintains its rank from 2016 (-$38.6 billion).

+ New York’s shortfall in 2017 is nearly as large as that of second-ranked New Jersey (-$21.3 billion) and third-ranked Massachusetts (-$16.1 billion) combined. Connecticut and Illinois round out the list of the states with the least favorable balances.

+ The state’s per capita balance of payments, -$1,792, continues to rank the state as one of the least favorable in the nation. New York’s negative per capita balance of payments is less than all but three other states. This is only a very slight improvement over 2016, when New York ranked the third to last with a per capita measurement of -$1,946.

+ New Yorkers’ per capita difference between payments made to the Federal government and spending grew slightly to $3,717 more than the national average in 2017 of a positive $1,925.

+ Since 2016, the US per capita balance of payment gap has grown by $202, reflecting an increase in Federal spending relative to tax revenue. New York has seen an improvement of $155.

+ While New York’s balance of payments has improved, it has not kept pace with the national average. New York’s shortfall compared to the national average continues to expand.

"Why are we talking about New Hampshire now?"

It's one example of a state that has super low taxes, yet productive people are moving there in huge numbers. MAYBE there is something other states can learn from, about how they pulled that off. I think it's impressive when a state can cost a lot less than other states, yet still offer a quality of life good enough, that people want to live there. I think it's worth discussing. It's telling that none of you wants to spend one syllable on that conversation.

"why does it seem the majority of red States do so much worse than the majority of blue States on almost every economic and social question?"

Sure, even though you dodge my questions, I'll answer yours. Rich people tend to live in blue states, and they drive up certain metrics. That doesn't mean that the state is the reason behind it.

CT has very high average incomes. I think that has very little to do with anything the state does, and has everything to do with the fact that southwestern CT is a beautiful coastal area that's close to Manhattan. But again, the state of CT is doing something to make rich people want to live here. As we will learn in the next 20 years when our unfunded debt of $62,500 per taxpayer becomes due, you can't run a whole state on the backs of hedge fund managers. There aren't enough of them, and they can leave very easily when they want to.

Paul, what do you think happens to CT when enough Baby Boomers retire that we need to write pension checks that we can't fund? The unfunded debt might be as high as $62,500 for every single taxpayer. That's what's needed to pay for the promises the state made. Where are we going to gat that money?

It's telling that none of you wants to spend one syllable on that conversation. There might be things other states can learn but the fact is that of all the states that don't have income tax you want to talk about 1 (NH). Instead we have numerous studies of 52 states (group as a whole) which show that on average the blue states are better in most statistics. So while it makes sense to look at 1 or 2 states, those are outliers and are prob. not indicative of the full population. That is why you want to talk about an outlier but the stats show that on average the blue states are better than the red states.

Well what is the reason then that attracts rich people who can live anywhere but make the decision to live in blue states?

Not seeing #s that high. But if the fed. gov. limited the tax payment transfer to +-10% of taxes paid all that additional $ would stay in the blue states and over time would help wipe out that debt. The transfer are not obviously cash but includes payments to hospitals, rent, etc. Those all have a multiplier and add to the tax base. Kentucky gets 35% of their total tax rev. from the fed. government. I know it is an outlier and I said shouldn't be used as an example of the whole group but if those payments where less, Kent. would have a bigger defecit and have to cut back more services

Let's say it's half that, Paul. Let's say it's $30,000 for every taxpayer. Where does that money come from?

As to your posts about tax shifts. Blue states, with higher state and local taxes, have given their residents a big break on federal income taxes, that people in red states don't get. Here's what I mean...Let's say you live in CT, I live in NH, and our financial picture is exactly the same. On federal income taxes, you've always enjoyed a big deduction in your federal taxes (which I don't get) because you pay high state taxes. Why should you pay lower federal taxes than me, just because you live in a blue state? That federal income tax deduction existed for decades, and it was BIG. Trump did away with much of it with the 10k SALT cap.

So any discussion of how unfair tax transfer from blue to red states is, must include a big adjustment for the historical benefit that residents of blue states enjoyed forever, until very recently.

In any event, that's not why CT is in serious financial trouble. We're in trouble for a very simple reason, we spent an absurd amount of money, more than we can ever have.

All of the multiple links I saw have the per capita debt at like $11K. average family is 2.2 or so. Doesn't come up w/$65K per taxpayer.

So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have (the state has already received that $ due to state income taxes) ?

even with SALT, there is a huge transfer of $ from blue states to red states (in KY 35% of state GDP. If that was lowered it would have a huge impact over time and prob. flip the equation.

All of the multiple links I saw have the per capita debt at like $11K. average family is 2.2 or so. Doesn't come up w/$65K per taxpayer.

So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have (the state has already received that $ due to state income taxes) ?

even with SALT, there is a huge transfer of $ from blue states to red states (in KY 35% of state GDP. If that was lowered it would have a huge impact over time and prob. flip the equation.

"So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have"

I don't get a federal income tax deduction for groceries, and that's money I no longer have. why should i get one because I choose to live in a high tax state? You use highways and rely on the US military the same way a NH resident does, but you pay less for those things because you live in CT. There's no way to defend that.

So let's be clear, you're not in favor of rich people giving money to poor people via taxes? I thought liberals were all about "spreading the wealth around".

Well, you keep saying (I think?) you have some quarrel with blue states (disproportionately made up of wealthy people) transferring money to red states (disproportionately made up of poor people).

You also have to adjust your numbers for where the biggest military bases and defense contractors are, which states have the most highways, etc...

If CT is being unfairly treated by the federal government, shouldn't our congressional delegation (100% democrats) try to fix that for us?

I'm glad you are finally admitting you agree there is a huge transfer of $.

You also have to adjust your numbers for where the biggest military bases and defense contractors are, which states have the most highways, etc...I don't have to adjust the #s - those facts are in it. But those all benefit those states by salaries, purchasing of things, etc. which all impact taxes.

If CT is being unfairly treated by the federal government, shouldn't our congressional delegation (100% democrats) try to fix that for us?

Most people recognize it and are willing to help the poorer states/areas. Just as you and I say thank you to someone who is helping us out/giving us something, it would be nice for those red states to show some appreciation.

Meanwhile in reality, Texas is the leading producer of wind power in the U.S. at 33 megawatts.


Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

ERCOT expects power usage will reach 77,544 megawatts on Tuesday, topping the grid's all-time high of 74,820 MW set in August 2019


July 20,2022 "When the wind ebbs, however, it’s an entirely different story. Take last week. Demand for power topped out at about 78 gigawatts. Yet, the grid operator had to beg residents and businesses to reduce power use because wind was sluggish."

LAST NOVEMBER -The line they decided to feed the Washington Post was that things could not possibly get worse for Biden. They argued that his approval rating, which had just fallen to a record low of 42 percent while his disapproval rating hovered around 52.7 percent, had nowhere to go but up.

People “who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private conversions” told the Post that “many administration officials and allies contend that the state of affairs cannot get worse, thinking that Biden and the Democrats have hit their floor in negative approval ratings.”



On Thursday, Biden hit another new low, according to RealClearPolitics, averaging 36.8 percent approval and a 57.5 percent disapproval.

Since the day Biden officials claimed the president had hit his floor, his approval rating has declined 5.2 percentage points while his disapproval rating has grown 4.8 percentage points. Biden is now more unpopular than any other American president since the end of World War II.

A New York Times/Siena poll earlier this month pinned the number at a shockingly horrible 33 percent approval and 60 percent disapproval.



I think Brandon got Covid from his approval ratings. :bl:

So why would texas with all its gas and oil resources depend on wind

Because they don't depend on wind their to cheap and profit driven to build in redundancy their system

While in total denial why it's so hot worldwide to begin with and why their grid is so vulnerable to extreme weather and of course

You really receive compensation for your skill with numbers?

Texas is a big state in size and population

It produces a lot of carbon per capita

It actually does more than most for renewables

It takes planning and intent to excel at renewables.

The future is not carbon based energy and failure to realize that puts us behind.

he thinks a state that had no windmills and then adds a windmill therefore increasing it's wind production by 100% is better than one whose % increase is much lower because they have so many existing windmills...particularly if it's Texas or Florida because he hates Texas and Florida.....he's an idiot

June 7, 2022

HOUSTON — Texas leads the nation in wind power generation. It makes up about 20% of the state's energy usage.

Daniel Cohan, an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University, said that's because of a major push made several years ago toward identifying competitive, renewable energy zones.


"The state got all sides together and made a plan with about $7 billion of investments in transmission lines, more than any other state was going at the time," Cohan said. "So the wind boom we've had was made possible by that foresight and innovative program."

So, how are the wind and solar farms helping to keep the lights on in Texas?

"If it hadn't been for the tremendous growth we've had, especially in solar the past few years, we would have already been experiencing rolling blackouts even with that heat wave we got in May and really can't imagine how the grid would handle this week's heat wave," Cohan said.

Abbott said in an interview with Sean Hannity in the middle of a crisis that “the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America.” Ignoring that experts and officials agreed that a disruption in energy powered by fossil fuels was the biggest culprit behind Texas' outages

Republican politicians blamed wind turbines, which account for over 20 percent of the state’s electricity.

Next you’ll be complaining the Biden uses Air Force 1. So he’s a hypocrite

Which partys agenda is more in line with what americans are concerned about..

Of course you think it’s Republicans your brainwashed and gullible

House Republicans are planning to bombard Joe Biden’s administration with investigations next year, from Hunter Biden to the border to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

including Democrats’ formation of the Jan. 6 select committee. But the party’s highest-profile targets are those with the potential to politically bruise the president ahead of 2024: his son’s business dealings, Afghanistan, the origins of the coronavirus,

And some conservatives in the conference are pushing for investigations into debunked 2020 election fraud claims,

If you can’t get to 60 in the Senate, you can make it a real issue … going into the next election,” he said.

Yep they are looking out for what concerns the American people..

Sounds more like a campaign Aid

Yea morals don’t count

If we had a functioning democracy, our politicians would impose a new super-tax on private jet users, but instead, the entire cost of a private jet can be used as a tax deduction, while teachers can only deduct $250 for school supplies on their taxes.

“morals don’t count”

How come they don’t count with the Clintons?

I don’t care about morals in my president. I care that he gets the job done. Morals are nice in a distant executive, but not vital. I’d rather have a pr*ck who gets the job done ( Clinton, Trump) than a nice guy who can’t do anything right.

morals only matter to you, when a republican is in charge.

What the “conservatives” taught young adults at Churning Point

Lowlights from TPUSA's Student Action Summit

- “My pronoun is kiss my ass”
- "I have never been an escort for Senator Ted Cruz"
- "Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb"
- "We have to defeat the climate crisis hoax"

you insulted TDFs daughters. So as always, it’s ok when you are crass, bad when conservatives are. Must be very convenient.

Biden : Republicans want to put blacks back in chains.

it’s ok when liberals

“morals don’t count”

How come they don’t count with the Clintons?

I don’t care about morals in my president. I care that he gets the job done. Morals are nice in a distant executive, but not vital. I’d rather have a pr*ck who gets the job done ( Clinton, Trump) than a nice guy who can’t do anything right.

morals only matter to you, when a republican is in charge.

When your equivalence is between a blowjob and a self-coup by a thrice married man credibly accused of multiple sex crimes and you’re adamant that you hold the high moral ground.

No wonder Marge three toe, Rapey McForehead, Louie Gomhert, Ron Johnson and “Bobbin” Boebert are leading MAGA stars

not just the cheating. lying about to to us, lying under oath, and then Hilary slut shaming his victims on national tv. all of that is ok.

put it this way pete. it all boils down to this. In all of your many many posts here, how many times have you been critical of the democrats?

to every single one of you guys, the left can’t do anything wrong, the right can’t do anything good. Never. Liberals are 100% pure, conservatives are 100% evil.

we’ll see who the out of touch extremist is, in November, won’t we?

wdmso, biden needs to be on air force 1. kerry doesn’t. i dont care if kerry flies private, but if he chooses to do so, i don’t want to hear him lecture me about reducing my carbon footprint. lead by example, have you ever heard that phrase before?

if he can fly private, so can anyone
else.

how is he not being a huge hypocrite?

You love your marching orders

Climate buster: Biden ‘green czar’ John Kerry’s jet unleashes tons of CO2

And of course you latch on to the head line.

The jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, has made 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and released an estimated 715,886 pounds — or 325 metric tons — of carbon dioxide since Biden entered the White House in January 2021, Fox News reported

FYI

The jet belongs to a charter company, Flying Squirrel LLC, which is owned by Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.


More Conservatives lies and twisted truth and the gullible like your self get gut hooked every time

Another stellar observation if Biden vetos a bill he’s and obstructionist

You truly have no idea what an obstructionist. Is and what party whole policy agenda is obstructing like I said you don’t pay attention you only read headlines fed to you by your handlers


McConnell Signals GOP Will Run on Pure Obstruction in the Midterms


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan for the coming year is entirely unsurprising.

“Mitch McConnell has told colleagues and donors Senate Republicans won’t release a legislative agenda before next year’s midterms,

Vote for us the GOP says

The voters ask what’s your plan!

GOP response none off your business ! just stfu and vote for Republican. The Dems are destroying our nation with their communists and socialists ways

you call it false equivalence without explaining why it’s false. so no one is impressed. I didn’t say every detail of what congressional
democrats did in 2016 is identical
to what trump did on january 6. obviously there are differences. no two events are identical.

here’s what i said, and im being exactly accurate…a small number of congressional democrats used made-up claims about election fraud in certain states, in an attempt to steal trump’s win in 2016. Biden, to his credit, told them to knock it off. Some of those congressional
democrats are still in office. They lied about election fraud in the hope of stealing the election. They never had a sliver of a chance if succeeding, but they tried.

There’s not one syllable of that, which is false.

And it’s all ok with you, but sedition of the gop does it.

False equivalence is by definition not inaccurate, two things can be true but not equal.

If you think that the Trumplican conspiracy to overturn the election is equivalent to statements of citizens, elected or not, well as I said before you grunt out whatever buzzword flotsam sluiced into your wet brain from the Fox effluvium pipe.

your problem, is that i specifically said the two events were different. but they were both examples of each party trying to steal
an election they lost

You’re only opposed to that, when the GOP does it.
