INFLATION IS KILLING US

INFLATION IS KILLING US

By: Derek Varsalona

President Biden might say that inflation is going down, but the American's wallets and purses are getting lighter.  Americans are losing their savings and are cash strapped as people need to cut into savings to buy the daily or weekly essentials.  The average price of a 12 carton of eggs right now is $6.00.  The average amount for a gallon of milk is $4.00.  President Biden is right inflation might be going down.  But the American people are not feeling it and the Inflation Reduction Act needs to be helping one bit.  The Inflation Reduction Act is actually hurting people since inflation is still at an all-time high.

Small businesses are the life engine of the American economy.  But right now, due to inflation and President Biden’s involvement in the market being are literally getting squashed economically by inflation.  Inflation is essentially a high tax on the poor and the middle-class Americans. Inflation is hurting the American consumer and because of that the small business is also hurting in the long run.

New business applications are going up.  That is a good thing.  Most of America is a small business in this country.  But the small business owner is getting killed by Bidenflation.  The Bidenflation is killing America and Americans are feeling it.  The fact is that inflation is caused by the record amount of government spending in the Biden Administration.  If President Biden, truly wanted to reduce inflation it is not going to be done by the Inflation Reduction Act.  It is going to be done with the government stopping putting their hands in the cookie jar, that is to say, stop dipping its hand into the economy.

Black-owned business applications are going up.  That is a good thing.  Now, the people are going to notice how bad the Democrats are for the business and how it is that Bidenomics is causing inflation in the first place.  The Inflation Reduction Act, is what is the driver of inflation.  The Democrats claim to be for the middle class and the poor.  But it is the poor and the Middle Class that are getting nickeled and dimmed to death by record-high inflation.

The Inflation Reduction Act is what caused inflation in the first place.  President Biden is killing the free market.  President Biden is what caused the inflation and President Biden is not going to solve it, he is only going to make it worse.

CLIMATE CHANGE KILLS OKLAHOMA

CLIMATE CHANGE TAKES OUT OKLAHOMA

By: Derek Varsalona

America, wake up we are on the path of climate change and it is not a hoax.  The latest victim is the people of Oklahoma who saw major destruction Sunday.  At least two people are dead including a child.  Many houses are demolished.

Climate change is literally killing us.  The latest victim was the people of Oklahoma.  A tornado ripped through Oklahoma on Sunday leaving a lot of destruction in its path.  At least two people are confirmed dead, including one child.  Yes, Climate Change, killed this child and it is literally killing us.  Climate change also demolished houses.  Climate Change also left tens of thousands without power on Sunday.   The tornado ripped through Oklahoma leaving people in its wake.

The fact of the matter is that Climate Change is upon us.  It is killing us.  It is time for Americans to wake up and get serious about Climate Change. As for it being people-made, people have some results of climate change getting worse.  It is not a hoax.  As always comments accepted.

TORNADO HITS DES MOINES

CLIMATE CHANGE IS CAUSING MORE VIOLENT TORNADOES

By: Derek Varsalona

Climate change struck Iowa and Nebraska this weekend.  Four Tornadoes are reported in the areas with probably more to come.  There are at least four tornado warnings.

This is definitely a result of climate change.  Climate change is real?  What else can be causing so much destruction in the world?  Climate change is a result of environmental terrorism and people do have something to do with the wrath of God that is upon us. 

The fact of the matter is climate change is a global epidemic.  We are seeing food shortages in some developing nations due to climate change.  The fact of the matter is that people are partially responsible for climate change.  The ones that can not adapt are going to get left behind or killed off like the dinosaurs. 

There is very little we can do at this point to combat climate change.  The Green New Deal may help but it will do very little at this point.  The people already took their poison pill and now we are digging out graves at least environmentally speaking.  Climate change is not a hoax.  But I do think we are so far gone down this road that there is no going back.  As always comments accepted.

AMERICA IS STILL FEELING BIDENFLATION

PEOPLE ARE STILL FEELING BIDENFLATION

By: Derek Varsalona

The good news for President Biden is that Bidenflation is going down.  The bad news for President Biden is that Bidenflation still exists.  Yes, inflation might still be going down.  But it still exist and people feel that their wallets are getting lighter.  There is less change in their pockets and the cost of medicine is still high every time you go to the pharmacy.  The cost of eggs is still around $6.00 a dozen and the prices only seem to increase.

Inflation has felt more than 60%.  But the American people do not feel the savings.  The American consumer is getting squashed and the real reason is President Biden’s economic plan is not working.  The best option for President Biden would be to fire his economic team before the election.

President Biden says he is bringing costs down.  Cost might be going down but the people do not see it and do not feel it.  The cost still remains high at every turn.  People are losing their savings due to high inflation, and people are now dipping into retirement.  People in my generation, I am 43 feel that retirement is a long way off and not achievable at this point.

Bidenflation is upon us and is getting worse, not better.  President Biden's economic policies are to blame.  A suggestion to President Biden. Fire your economic team. As always comments accepted.

ENVIROMENTAL JUSTICE IS NOT JUSTICE

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IS NOT JUSTICE

By: Derek Varsalona

In America, we are supposed to have justice for All.  But President Biden believes in justice for the few.  President Biden believes in environmental justice, which is justice for the select few.  Environmental justice protects the environment at the expense of the working-class people.  He is appealing to his base and not the rest of America.  We need a leader in America who will fight for all of Americans and not the select few. 

President Biden is going ahead with the most ambitious climate and clean energy project in American history.  He is producing the Green New Deal on steroids.  But what is loss is justice for the American workers.  With Green energy, certain standards are going to go to the waster side.  President Biden is trying to get rid of your gas-guzzling ride for a Greener ride and a greener economy.

President Biden calls this justice.  He is right. The only problem is that this is justice for the few and far between.  President Biden wants to make the gas-guzzling car as obsolete as the Model T Ford. This is not going to work and is actually going to make the electric or more environmentally friendly car more expensive in the long run.  The only way to make the electric car more affordable is to do away with the gas guzzler altogether.  

President Biden also wants to reframe our electrical grids.  He is making a $30 Billion dollar investment in the future of Green Energy.  But what is lost is the people’s jobs in the regular electric industry.  It is not like these people in the old industry can just adapt.  The Green Energy companies are going to want people who are young fresh blood out of college not some dinosaur like me who is 43 and disabled.

President Biden is also going to socialize the industry by making the government control the Green Energy sector.  That is not free market capitalism but it is socialism.  The best way to prosperity is free market capitalism.  The fact of the matter is Joe Biden is not a true capitalist.  He is being controlled by the socialist wing of the Democratic Party, which has taken over the party.

It is time for President Biden to stop playing favorites with the Environmentalist and start being a President for All Americans. As always comments accepted.

BIDEN TO SOCIALIZE EMISSIONS OF FREIGHT TRUCKS

BIDEN TO CONTROL FREIGHT TRUCK EMISSIONS

By: Derek Varsalona

Don’t get me wrong.  I do believe that we should be protecting the environment.  But not at the cost of business.  President Biden is going to kill the industry and lead to more inflation by controlling the emissions the trade industry and freight industry can expel.  President Biden is trying to control the pollution that the freight industry is going to produce.

President Biden is right that the freight industry is vital to our economic recovery.  However, any government regulation on this industry is going to stifle the industry and lead to more inflation with more government regulations on the employer. 

The freight industry is a $49 Billion dollar industry.  Any government regulation is going to kill free market capitalism and is going to kill the industry.  If you think inflation is bad now inflation is going to become worse when the government is involved with controlling the emissions a vehicle can produce.

We should strive for zero-emissions vehicles.  But at the end of the day, the auto industry like all industries needs to make a profit for they will go out of business.  The best people who know how to make a profit with clean energy are the CEOS and workers in that industry and not the government.

President Biden is bribing cities to go with clean energy.  He is playing favorites.  President Biden is giving $1 billion dollars away in a clean energy initiative.  But what if the cities think clean energy is outside the cities' economic interests?  These cities are going to be punished with higher taxes while the clean energy cities are going to get tax breaks.  Not only is that not fair, but doing such things is unconstitutional give one city tax breaks while giving other cities higher taxes as punishment. 

The best plan of action would be to let the private industry and banks apply for loans to make the industry adjust.  This would give them economic security if they come up short in the economics and then the private banks will profit by collecting interest on the debt and the loan if that needs to be paid in full.

The best way for the economy to thrive is for the government to get out of the way and let the private industry take control.  As always comments accepted.

PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TRY AND CONTROL THE WATERWAYS

WATERWAYS SHOULD BE LOCAL CONTROL

By: Derek Varsalona

Who supports the Dirty Air and dirty water campaign?  Maybe it is the Republicans.  President Biden is trying to push for cleaner air and cleaner waterways.  But should this really be the federal government's responsibility?  I personally believe the issues of clean air and clean water should be the work of the local government, not the federal government.  I believe that the federal government with their over regulations is going to muddy the waters even more than they are doing right now.

President Biden believes that everyone should have access to clean air and clean water.  But if the federal government is involved in the process then President Biden is going to want some payback in return.  That bribe is going to be met with a potential vote in his favor.   Over 100 localities have pledged to have fresh water.  That is a good thing.  Now, the localities should figure out how to aquifer the water systems without the federal government's help.  I personally believe that with the federal government involved they are just going to muddy the waters both figuratively and realistically.  The best way to get fresh water is to turn the responsibility over to the local governments and have local government control of the waterways. 

Many tribes lack access to clean drinking water.  Well, you see there is a price that has to be paid when you are on your own.  The local tribes want to be free of the federal government.  Now, they cry when they do not have fresh drinking water.  The fact of the matter is that they can not have it both ways first cry wolf in the eye of the federal government and want to be an autonomous tribe free of government control then cry we need help when things do not go right.  The fact of the matter is the tribes are going to be in more trouble if the federal government is involved since the federal government ruins everything it touches. 

President Biden also has a conflict with the Supreme Court.  He attacked the Supreme Court for stopping federal protections of the wetlands.  Maybe the Supreme Court was trying to protect the wetlands from a federal government that was going to poison the waterways in the first place?  As always comments accepted.
