MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images Consumer price index data due out this week will show soaring U.S. inflation hit another four-decade high last month even as President Joe Biden claimed rising prices are more to do with malevolent outside forces than his own economic (mis)management.
The Financial Times (FT) forecasts consumer price index data available from Thursday will show a rise of 8.4 per cent year over the past 12 months based on estimates from Bloomberg, the fastest pace since 1981.
That grim news comes just days after Harvard Professor, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, said recession risks also “are going way up” and he would put the odds of a recession in the next two years at above two-thirds.
He based that on the fact there hasn’t been a time in American history where inflation was over four percent with an unemployment rate below four percent where there wasn’t a recession within two years.
While the surge in U.S. consumer prices keeps accelerating it looks like the Biden administration still lacks the means – and the political will – to tackle headline inflation. The FT explains: The gap between headline and core CPI points to a growing problem for the Federal Reserve. Inflation produced by supply chain bottlenecks or sanctions on Russia is not within the Fed’s direct control, but will nevertheless produce a higher headline number. That could prompt calls for evermore aggressive policy. The FT states the rate of U.S. price growth is up from 7.9 per cent in February, when the Ukraine conflict was just beginning. First gas, then heating and now rents. Runaway inflation is driving rents skywards across Joe Biden’s America, delivering an average of a 20 percent increase in the U.S.’s biggest […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
