The economy expanded 5.5% last year, the fastest pace since 1984. That brisk growth is powered by a strong labor market. Employers added 1.6 million jobs over the past three months, putting upward pressure on wages.
With inflation well above the Fed’s target, the steady gains in hiring leave the Fed on track to raise interest rates next month and could prompt further increases in May and June. Mounting wage pressures related to the nation’s tight job market could also start feeding into inflation. Annual wage growth was running at 4.5% in December, the fastest pace since 2002, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s wage tracker, which makes adjustments for changes in the composition of workers.
This has always been the dividing line between liberals and conservatives. Liberals want lower unemployment because they represent the working people. Conservatives want lower inflation because they represent the investor class. The funny thing is that the "working people" who switched to the conservative side still want lower inflation.
Biden's inflation surge crushes the economy, and especially for working-class citizens: food, rent, gas pump. Interest rate hikes are coming next.
Put that in your free crack pipe and smoke it.
Lets go Brandon!

And the libs whataboutism has become their only retort.
Biden sucks, his administration is a clown show, the economy is in danger of a recession, inflation is at 40 yr highs and soon going to Jimmy Carter levels, our border is overrun and his polls continue to tank.

the rubes ENJOY their gullibility. The feeling of being subservient to right wing leaders is pleasurable to them.
No free crack pipes. It's a story meant to get clicks and they got you good.
You wonder why we consider you rubes? Your belief in stories like this is why we call you rubes.
WaPo:
In a first-of-its-kind federal grant to be distributed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a branch of HHS, dozens of organizations across the country would be able to spend the money over three years on a preapproved list of resources, including referrals to treatment, infectious-disease testing kits, condoms, and vaccinations for hepatitis A and B.
Also on the list: “safe smoking kits.” Typically, such kits include a rubber mouthpiece to prevent cuts and burns, brass screens to filter contaminants and disinfectant wipes, according to Harm Reduction International.
Favaro, whose program does not distribute the “safe smoking kits” approved by HHS, said groups that provide kits typically don’t include a glass pipe as it is expensive relative to providing the rubber mouthpiece. Clean glass pipes are intended to curb sharing pipes and spreading oral infections or injecting with needles, a riskier method of doing drugs.
On Wednesday, the White House and HHS denied the funds would be spent on the pipes.
“HHS and ONDCP are focused on using our resources smartly to reduce harm and save lives. Accordingly, no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Rahul Gupta said in a statement.

excellent point.
throughout american history, conservatives have made rich people richer and fought against the regular people.
conservatives supported railroad monopolies that forced farmers to lose their land
conservatives were against social security, medicare, medicaid, obamacare, unemployment insurance, all manner of workplace regulations, against unions, etc . it took FDR to blast them away.
And 'conservatives' made it fun to be a conservative in 2022 with the memes and lies and red hats. So they've got regular people handing more and more of their money over to rich people. Confounding. .
Senator Hate Crime is a Russian stooge. Leaving key Pentagon posts vacant does not help us against any country, but it helps Putin.

Yep, but remember...
But but Benghazi!
"There’s been bipartisan criticism over Hawley blocking swaths of Biden’s foreign policy picks in recent months. After saying for weeks his blockade is aimed at pressing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and other top officials to resign over the administration’s chaotic Afghanistan exit last year, Hawley said Thursday he would relent if there are further public hearings on the withdrawal."

Saving and investing aren't the same thing. Both are useful components of a sound financial plan.

Are you really this stupid???? I showed you the actually Government post. Quit being so stupid. You look like a fool.
The Washington Post is lying . You are too stupid to realize that. Am done responding to you - just a rube and a clueless one. Embarrassing.

I know it doesn't mean anything to someone like you, but you keep embarrassing yourself and the constant digging in is a tell that you are not trolling, just plain dumb.
No wonder they are making stuff up about crack pipes to distract. Their party leader is a proven national security threat and should be banned from public office ever again for this. Imagine Eisenhower doing this. How far the 'conservatives' have fallen.
Rube media will cover none of this. it's gonna be government crack pipes on page one for days.

SCOOP: Some Trump records Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago with him were clearly marked as classified, including documents at the ‘top secret’ level,
and echoes of that other corrupt right winger, Nixon. Missing data in official documents.
scratch a donald trump operation and you find endless criming. Anything but 'law and order.'

If someone in Trump White House deliberately created mysterious gaps in phone records for January 6, 2021, it is now more essential than ever to know whom the then-President was secretly consulting as insurrection attack unfolded.
And were non-Americans among those he spoke to?
Trump created big wage gains for low and middle class workers.....this is what Biden has created....
