Inflation Hits Highest Level Since Reagan's First Year
OUT: Inflation hits 30 year high in October 2021
IN: Inflation hits nearly 40 year high in November 2021 Inflation has been clocking one record-beating month after month after month. Just last month, inflation rose by a whopping 5.4%, the fastest surge in prices since George G.W. Bush. I mean, the fastest since George G.W. Bush was at 88% approval and we all thought he'd walk to reelection in 1992.Inflation continued to surge in September, with prices rising more than expected as companies grapple with a snarled supply chain and a nationwide labor shortage, the feds said Wednesday. The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, jumped 5.4 percent in September from a year earlier. That's up from August's 5.3 percent year-over-year rise in prices and matches the 5.4 percent increases seen in June and July, the biggest 12-month rise since August 2008, just before the financial crisis sent the US into the worst recession it had seen since the Great Depression.So that was last month.
And Brandon says, "I can do more to destroy this country and prepare the way for a communist overthrow of the American system."
Prices spiked a whopping 6.8 percent in November, compared with the same time last year -- the fastest acceleration of inflation the country has seen in 39 years, the feds announced Friday. It's the highest year-over-year reading of the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, since 1982, when the country saw surging inflation that sparked year-over-year spikes as high as more than 14 percent.So now we're going back to the year of absolute economic misery when Reagan was wringing Jimmy Carter's inflation out of the system.
... It's also the fifth straight month in which inflation surged more than 5 percent, year over year, under President Biden. Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth, called the readout "scorching."CNN Headline: Biden Economy "Scorching," Experts Agree Don't worry, though: Brandon has a plan to Whip Inflation Now. And that plan is to ask his media supporters to tell their viewers that the economy is in a "Biden Boom."
Soaring inflation has become a major political liability for Biden, and earlier this week reports emerged that administration officials were conducting a blitz of off-the-record briefings to convince journalists to cover the economy more favorably. The strategy appears to be finding traction in some quarters. On Thursday, CNBC host Jim Cramer gushed that 'we have the strongest economy perhaps I have ever seen.' CNN host Don Lemon also literally broke into song on Tuesday, trilling 'Laaaaa!' as he crowed that gas prices had dropped five cents in the last month.

'I think that's ridiculous': Jill Biden dismisses concerns about her husband's mental fitness and claims he works 'almost 24 hours a day' Jill Biden defended Joe Biden's mental health, calling questions about her husband's capabilities 'ridiculous' 'I think that's ridiculous,' she said of polls showing Americans had questions about the president's mental capabilities ... 'He keeps working at it. He's an eternal optimist, and he keeps working, Rita, like almost 24 hours a day, at creating relationships with Republicans as well as Democrats. To push his agenda forward. It's that important,' she said in excerpts of the interview that aired Friday morning on CBS This Morning.

But it was the inflation, that constant, glaring, in-your-face assault on people's pocketbooks and by extension way of life that destroyed Jimmy Carter and brought in Reagan. It was bad enough that fixing it - which caused a fairly deep (albeit brief) recession - didn't lead crashing popularity for his replacement.
The game may not be lost yet, but in one or *maybe* two more quarters of this, it will be. And if Biden's handlers or the Fed or the Republican congress next year doesn't fix it, then this round is over. Whoever wins in '24 will have an easy path to victory and blank check to fix it. And if *he* doesn't (or can't) fix it, then the game is over. The government will fail.

During the Depression years, unemployment figures did not count government employees, including the military, nor farmers and ranchers. The latter were a significant proportion of the "employed" in those days, America was much more rural. Keep that in mind when someone talks about the 25% unemployed during the Depression.
What I'm getting at, government statistics for monetary inflation are not compiled nor used at anything like they were from the 1920s through the 1970s. They have been massaging and tweaking the numbers beyond all recognition for a long time. When they are forced to admit that even their phony balogna plastic banana bullshit numbers are the worst in 40 years, that's a huge deal. Inflation has been killing average Americans for decades. They can't "hide" it anymore, even though they never could. This presages some very ugly times ahead. I'm amazed it took this long.

Fundamental problem: prices are too high, so people don't have enough money to buy stuff.
Obvious solution: print 10x the amount of money. Now everyone has plenty! That's how it works, right?
You know those old Weimar Germany bills and stamps where they resorted to overprinting the new denominations on them with heavy black ink because there wasn't enough time to engrave new plates?
Well, they were limited by how fast printing presses can run.
Now someone in the Fed/Treasury axis can just type a few numbers into a spreadsheet and BOOM, there's 10x, 100x, 1000x, 1000000x the number of dollars than there were 10 seconds ago. Modern Technology at Work!

As many people have been pointing out, if you figure inflation the way it was figured in the 70's, we're probably running at about 15% per year right now - and accelerating.
Changing the calculation was extremely intentional, of course - this way the Feds can have 15% inflation (20% tomorrow, 25% the day after) and yet only have to give 5% COLA raises to everyone on social security, etc.
That's the new plan as to how to inflate their way out of the debt. (it's just default in a new shiny skin)

Spending is a similar story. Personal consumer expenditure (PCE) was up by less than 2% in real terms using official CPI figures. Not a boom. Not a disaster, but not a boom. Claim two, gone.
Adjusting for inflation, incomes are either flat or down. This claim is just wrong. Claim three, gone.
Employment has not recovered. The unemployment rate isn't a disaster, but the jobs added are just not enough to make a dent in structural unemployment. The labor participation rate is back to shrinking after Trump was the first president to see it increase in this century. This claim is absurd. Claim four, gone.

That is the Biden mandate date for the OSHA mandate, IIRC. This is the date the Big3 auto companies are using to enforce their mandate (explicitly telling us they don't give a shit that the federal mandate has been struck down, they're going forward with their own mandate). If salaried employees are not "vaccinated" by Jan 5, we go on 30-day unpaid leave with likely termination after that 30 days.
Say bye-bye to electric vehicles from the Big3 when a good % of their salaried workforce is gone come Jan 6, 2022.

LIVs aren't paying attention to politics. They aren't watching CNN. They're living their lives. And they are noticing the cost of every skyrocket and that their own lives are poorer.
Once they flip the switch that there needs to be political change, there's no stopping it. The fantasyland games that the White House and the media are playing won't matter.
Look for more older, politically powerful Dems in Congress to announce their retirements. A bunch have already, more will follow.

The economy is big. Capital flows are big. Decisions take time. The thing doesn't turn on a dime. They cannot fix it in time for the midterms now. They could turn it around and have a few quarters of happy stories for the next generals in '24 if they're both good and lucky, but they literally can't do it in time for the midterms. They're going to have to campaign on the premise of "we've taken decisive action and what we've done will work and here's why - we just need a little bit more time." Not a good position.

We talked about this a bit this morning. The fed *should* be raising interest rates now, but Jerome Powell is even more clueless than Carter's first chairman William Miller. It'll be obvious by May or so that something needs to be done - but by then the MidTerm election rush will be in full swing, and everyone will be panicking about how Interest Rate increases slow down the economy and hurt the party in power.
For that purely political reason, I think there will be *no* significant interest rate hikes for nearly a year, and inflation will start accelerating rapidly with nothing to slow it down for quite a while to come.

To some degree. Trump did a bunch of helicopter drops. But if you want to immediately have bad decisions (and the giant cash transfers were bad decisions) metastasize, take away any appearance of competence or hope.
Biden did the latter, just as Trump did its opposite. Why did the economy start moving well under Obama, before Trump took office? Why did energy start going nuts under Trump, before Biden took office? Why did inflation set in this year and so hugely?
All the same answer: expectations and confidence. Trump had high expectations and people had high confidence in him. Biden has low expectations and people have low confidence in him to achieve even that.

Checking out ShadowStats, which does the pre-1980 (and pre-'90 or so) inflation calculation. If we calculated the CPI the same way we did before 1981, Nov's YoY inflation comes in at 14.9%
That tops the peak value in March 1980 of 14.8%, and is the highest value since 1947, when the CPI hit 17.6%.
IOW, if were honest, this is the worst inflation since Harry Truman. This is worse than the '70s.

The fed is stuck -- it can't raise rates because the government won't be able to afford the increased interest payments on the debt as the treasuries roll over.
Things are all coming to a head at once. But you're right, those in charge will probably keep playing political small-ball first, making the problems even worse.

Doing the right thing means a severe recession, possibly a depression which will devastate state and local finances. We are in the end stages of government financial debauchery where the gap is so big that even absent new spending, they have to shovel out one trillion dollars of funny money just to cover the current deficit. Likewise, any rise in fed interest rates immediately demands even more borrowing.
So, that leaves massive cuts in federal spending, spiking taxes, and no colas for govt employees, pensions, or social security. Perhaps even rationing and foreign exchange controls.

Which just makes everything worse as the rot deepens. And I agree with you, by the way.
Another problem is that the longer they wait to rationalize the price of capital, the greater there is risk of either - or, G-d forbid, both - of two possible accidents happening:
1. The fed loses control of rates and real interest rates in the market decouple from Fed guidance to stop the bleeding.
2. The US government at all levels (though especially the feds) will keep accumulating staggering amounts of new debt that will make an interest rise even more untenable for government finances. Every new dollar we borrow adds to the problem when rates go up.

No, the fedgov cannot permit interest rates to rise as then the deficit gets totally out of control. By allowing real interest to go negative, it prevents further spending on goods that spike inflation. The name of this is called debt suppression.

My uncle was involved in a motorcycle accident years ago and was in a coma for a time after it. He survived and lived a couple years afterward. But he was never the same. Brain complications affected his memory and his personality. Seemed to not be "all there". Was really sad to experience. Sadly, he passed away a few years after the accident from complications from that, I think. His adult son found him dead in his chair at his home when he went to visit after not hearing from him for a couple days.
So my first thought was Thomas' seizures were due to getting a "vaccine". But second thought is maybe there were some underlying side effects from the accident that showed themselves a year later and eventually killed him 2 years later. Sad either way. We'll never be allowed to know though if it was due to "vaccine".

The "G" fund on the Federal TSP (401k for Federal employees and Military) went negative a few months ago with inflation. They are currently paying 1.652% interest after taking out .042% for account maintenance fees. With inflation hitting 2%+ per month anyone who has any money in those accounts is hemorrhaging money every single day.

And that goes double for the more affluent. They not only have more money in the market than those further down the ladder, but they also aren't affected by inflation as much. Does a guy driving a Porsche care much whether gas is $3 or $4 a gallon? Sure, paying $4 is annoying but that extra $1 per gallon is not going to move the needle. Ditto higher costs for food, entertainment, etc. The burden of high inflation hits the lower income people much harder.

Devalue the dollar or default on the debt, those are the two options.
We will probably wind up doing both. I suspect Joe is hoping for a war with China so we can repudiate those debts
The third option is a haircut, where they remove a portion of your savings right out of your account, that is what Cypress did, but I don't think that will work here since a lot of value is held in stocks and metals.

Not a chance. China doesn't have enough of our debt to make such a high-risk gamble. China only has about $1.1 trillion in US debt holdings, which is less than 5% of the total. Hell, Japan still have significantly more, at about $1.7 trillion. China likely holds about as much as Japan in reality, since there is a surprising amount of US treasury paper held in surprising places like Denmark and a lot of that is probably proxies, but it *still* isn't enough to justify this kind of action.
You don't go to war for 5%.

Austerity will happen but the timetable is up to the Biden junta somewhat--if they pull the plug prior to 2022 midterms, then already bad political losses become something like the 1932 elections where the Republicans were nearly wiped out. If they wait, they will get slaughtered in 2024 regardless of whether they try the fraud card again. Unpopular governments are more constrained because the little people in the junta fear what is coming next and don't want to be responsible.

Part of the issue making this worse is that we do not produce a lot of what we consume now. This is unlike the 1930's so my guess is that we will have a prolonged debt suppression similar to post WWII England complete with currency controls, doing without imports, etc. A soft or hard US default will result in massive amounts of funny money floating around in the world to come home as the US will lose reserve currency status.
Figure at best, living standards will have to be curtailed for 10-20 years including elites.

They didn't think this excuse through: They just admitted the government policy of locking people in their houses, not working, and being excluded from society is still killing people.

There is a research paper out of Japan that shows that exposure to Human Coronavirus OC43 (aka the common cold) not only gives resistance to COVID, but was a major factor in the progression of the disease.
I'm guessing this is the data point that ties all this sh*t together - people that got a corona virus cold in the last few years are already immune to COVID - which is why a bunch of people don't seem to get it no matter how much you expose them to it.

We got word that adult cafeteria lunches are being raised to $5 in January. Usually prices are locked in for the academic year.
Some low-wage staff mentioned brownbagging it until they can no longer make their own lunches for less than $5 - and they're guessing that will be March or so. They're not attuned to political messages; they know inflation is running wild because they're seeing it every day. If the Dems try to push the message that Biden is saving the economy, it won't convince them.

Allow me to don my tinfoil hat for a moment.
How do we know those assets haven't already been sold or pledged as collateral long ago?
It struck me as suspicious at least 20 years ago that the "environmental" movement was so effective at shutting down mining, logging and virtually any resource extraction on federal land. Just something I pondered.
At a minimum, without regard to that, locking up federal or state land and making it off limits benefits foreign producers. Clinton did that infamously with the state of Utah, with a stroke of the pen and high quality coal. This benefited the Indonesian coal industry immediately. He didn't even bother to inform Utah. He just signed a bill at a ceremony at Grand Canyon. I love the West too, but they are saboteurs of American industry and sovereignty and energy independence and good careers and well, everything.

It is very difficult to do that sort of thing with an uneducated populace and by that I mean that the distortion caused by government policy has led companies and individuals into non-productive investments in training, proclivities, organization, etc.
To recreate the German miracle of recovery after WWII, they still had people trained in productive pursuits--all that was needed was investment in facilities. And the prospect of starvation allowed Adenauer to more or less defacto waive all government regulations.
Britain did not fare so well because government simply could not give up its authority given the heady idea of central planning.

Britain, under a Labour government, spent its Marshall Plan funds on building the tower blocks that they are now dynamiting, and on the NHS. In short, spent the money on consumption.
A Brit friend of mine once claimed that the UK received no Marshall Plan funds. I looked it up: in fact, the UK received the MOST such funds.

These people aren't even good liars. They aren't good at anything.
But I'm reminded of the Scottish movie "Trainspotting." Demoralized young Scotsman bails on going for a hike because the land all belongs to the English anyway. He says, "I don't even hate the English. They're just wankers, that's all. We're worse. We we were colonized by wankers."
We have been colonized by wankers too.

That's already happening, and I think it's a driver for the supply chain fuckups. When your competent senior workers quit, or get fired because of vaccines mandates, and mask mandates, it means the green hands and lazy slugs left behind get to do the work. badly.

A fair number of Tories believed in central planning too such as Rab Butler, Ted Heath, etc. Reading Thatcher's memoirs, she had to fight the wets in her majority as much as Labour.

Oh, and while inflation made the headlines, productivity dropped 5.2% in Q3, which is the biggest quarterly drop since 1960.
It's all part of the "paying more for less real value" dynamic.

Just from anecdotal evidence (shopping for fucking food) it looks like we're easily at 10-12%. I never used to worry about my spending, and now I check the meat counter for what's on sale. I just got a pack of short ribs for $5.00 off (a lot TBH) so I'ma make that short rib pasta that OM or CBD posted a few days back.

Right now "cheap" seems to be about $4.40/gal for 87. Across the street at a Chevron it's $5.00, $.20 more if you don't get a fucking $6.00 car wash.
Things will start getting spicy when we have a gas shortage - no doubt somewhere in the playbook. This country isn't anywhere near as civil as it was the last time we did this bullshit in the 70's, and people lined up and patiently waited.

Bullshit on both counts. The only real benefit to using pure nitrogen in tires is that it doesn't react with rubber, so you don't see the slight pressure loss caused by oxygen in the air oxidizing tire material.

But then again, inflation is the only way to shrink the national debt in relation to the national income so maybe they want all this inflation.
I'm sure that scads of journalists are primed to tell the country how its a good thing because people needed to be less materialistic and food costing more and forcing people to lose weight will improve national health too.
