Biden is a net tax cutter:
President Biden has called for $5 trillion in new taxes on corporations and high earners. But his record so far is as a net tax cutter.
The math is straightforward. ... the tax cuts Mr. Biden has signed for individuals and corporations are larger than the tax increases he has imposed on big corporations and their shareholders.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The cost of making popcorn:
I’d suggest that he hire somebody to handle both his sourcing of ingredients and his accounting.
Prices are up, but they aren’t up as high as he’s saying.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Right. But he’s manipulating the numbers. He’s showing his wholesale cost in 21, and retail in 24. That’s not just fudging the numbers, that’s outright fraud. Letitia James would like to have a conversation with him…

I'll take your word for it. I don't know enough to accurately quote those costs.

The bitch of it is, it’s an unforced error and unneeded lie to make his point. It’s a 27% increase in butter. For the sake of this argument, let’s say that’s a universal increase on all materials. That doesn’t translate into only a 27% increase in his product price. With inflation, he’s also having to raise his wages, and to match that inflation, he has needed to raise his wages by the 20% per hour. Now I have no idea his volume and the labor costs involved per unit for his product, but you could easily see that being another 5%-7%. In addition, and this gets missed by most, if the company’s output volume stays the same and the costs have all increased dramatically, then the company must increase their profit margin to simply maintain.

Bidenomics Is Making China Angry. That’s OK.

Trump made a big show of taking on China, but he was ineffective when in office and appears to have folded on TikTok when donor money was at stake. Biden talks more softly but is wielding a really big stick. Or to put it another way, Trump isn’t actually a tough guy on China; he just plays one on TV. Biden is the real deal.

Snort. He should get a job writing for SNL.

Remember the article by Summers et al?
I'm so old that I can remember when Millennials bitched about this very phenomenon 15 years ago, and boomers told them to stop whining because it didn't fit their narrative at the time.
This exact issue.
Please love yourself.

This exact issue.
We bought our first house in 1980. 13.25% mortgage on a $75K note. I wonder how the statistics of this tweet would compare to that.
