@@NEFLAtlantic Economics MA here, inflation is often referred to as a phenomenon caused by too much money chasing too few goods; labour fluctuations are much shorter term in nature than that of capital, which is needed as a complementary input with labour in order to scale up growth equally. By pumping money into the economy (funded by debt, which will have to be repaid with interest in the future), we are producing more than is sustainable due to underlying factors like technology and population (known in economics as the steady state, long-tern level of production), causing inflation in the short term due to the buffer in capital production, so wages (from the new workers that are employed due to this exogenous government stimulus) are increasing faster than production. It's because of this that there is too much money chasing too few goods, so the IRA increases inflation, but does so with the aim of counteracting the negative growth shock caused by Covid-19 and ultimately growing out of the debt that it needs to pay back through expansion.

Social security was never meant to be lived off of. It was meant to be combined with a 401k/Ira and pension.

The Feds aggressive campaign against inflation has harmed exports since the USD is strong compared to other currencies. At the same time, it has hampered domestic demand for items due to higher borrowing costs. We have consumer goods and grocery chains keeping prices high. Homeowners are reluctant to trade homes for a higher mortgage rate which increases home prices, motivating builders to increase new construction. It will likely be another 6 years until the benefits of CHIPS and IRA Acts is broadly felt. At that time, some other administration will receive the tail winds and of it and try to claim responsibility.

can't just focus on the consumer and jobs economy... time to focus more on the reality we are all burdened with... being locked out of the ASSET economy. housing, housing, housing. PERIOD. until our leadership seriously addresses this... many will not be happy with our "economy" unless you somehow double everyone's wages and keep housing the same as it is. why do they never bring this up in pieces like this??? the rents are insane compared to wages in my area, and housing is something I barely even consider. are we living in crazyville? lol

Dude put his NAME on the horrendous economy package 😂😂😂

Don Cunningham seemed like a cool guy. Would love to hear his full interview with his experience and perspective.

Can't do everything alone and sometime its ok to ask help from our allies. Japan placed a huge offer in US Steel that not alone bring the industry back to live but also our economy with a $15 billion investment!

L + ratio

2:13 The inflation surge was totally unrelated. -"Economists"

Seems like propoganda for Biden

Inflation is going to remain high as we onshore work. It will be around at least a decade.

can anyone help me with this query ??? will the steel produced in US be less expensive, than that which is being imported into USA??

Problem with all of the bills he passed is the atrocious amount of corruptive spending and donor payoffs in these bills that are so-called helping you smh. The best way to help is to stop spending our money like drunken sailors. Like if you agree

Whats to say those cities will not misuse the funds like they do so many times. Is there an overseer for those funds. Guess it doesn't matter because they will just get a cut too to ignore any wrong doing

This is near my hometown!

sorry

💙💛❤If Washington slows down attacks on Russian oil refineries and cannot be convinced otherwise, then the war will be lost by Ukraine. We need a debate with Washington with those who are slowing down attacks on Russian refineries.

inflation just rose by 0.4%. so much for the inflation reduction act.

It’s the beauty of democracy. In a democracy and each gets one vote. In capitalism you get one vote for every dollar. Most people aren’t captured in economic statistics, these people are recorded on Election Day.

I haven't seen any infrastructure projects in my city. Bridges are closed instead of being repaired. Where did the funds go?

Nothing else he can do can really make up for the fact that a mortgage for the same house in my county in 2019 cost $700 and now it cost $3,700 a month! In 2019 I got service work done in my truck it cost $330 that same work a few months ago cost $1,400. I have a much higher income that just doesn't go very far..and they you look at how much federal debt we have and what large debts do to growth and its mehh now and it will be getting worse im the future. The fed will have to slowly monitize tye debt away with many years of inflation above interest rates. Its a mechanical thing everyone in finamce knows since America will not ever not pay our debt nominally. The only possible way out of this would be if productivity significantly increased and that is quite unlikely since productivity in most sectors besides technology has been flat for the last 50 plus years and in many industries like health care and construction it's actually going backwards for a long time. So all of this investment into construction is not going to do diddly squat since we can't build anything here anymore on time or at a reasonable cost.

Its the AMERICAN people fault.

This problem started way before pandemic when they were playing politics with tariffs for soy,corn,etc . I don’t think either one is better than the other they both only looks for themselves and their friends best interests not public interest.

I was surprised by her speaking English so well. I was surprised by the lack of Ebonics

Is this video using sarcasm to try and be a parody of a defunct organization? Or is this just AI-generated gaslighting? I'm confused.

Bringing supply chain home without any economic leverage on any of our allies having trade deficits with us (Other than keeping Trump's imposed tariffs) is embarrassing for this video to even include a clip of Biden saying this.

Remind me, who owns Bloomberg again? What narrative are they driving with this video? What are Michaels plans guys?
