All right, speaking of inflation, the statistics for the Biden administration are just egregious. So in about the middle of last week, you started to see the Biden administration trot out a new line of propaganda. Their new line of propaganda is that the economy is actually going swimmingly. This is because the unemployment rates are low. Well, the unemployment rates are low for a couple of reasons. One, people have a lot of money in their bank account because the government literally just helicoptered cash to people last year. They just threw money at people. And so people actually have a lot of money in their savings accounts right now. That is starting to dwindle as the unemployment benefits have run, and you're starting to see people go back into the workforce. But this has created a massive artificial shortage of labor.

beyond making the vaccines available, which they did almost a year ago at this point, all the way

back in February and March.

So the Biden administration is facing down a lot of bad news. The polling data for them is really, really bad. So they started to put out this line that the economy – actually, you don't know what's going on, guys. You don't know what's going on. Secretly, the economy is really, really good. There's only one problem. The economy is not really, really good.ation should not be spiraling out of control this way. According to the Washington Post, prices rose at the fastest

pace in nearly 40 years last month, 40 years, increasing 6.8% over the same period a year ago as

inflation continues to squeeze households and businesses nationwide and complicates the political
