Not hype. Transitory.

Biden on Friday unveiled a $6 trillion budget for next year that’s piled high with new safety net programs for the poor and middle class, but his generosity depends on taxing corporations and the wealthy to keep the nation’s spiking debt from spiraling totally out of control.

The administration sees a $1.8 trillion deficit next year and steadily accumulating federal debt that has topped $28 trillion after well over $5 trillion in already approved COVID-19 relief. As a result, the government must borrow roughly 50 cents of every dollar it spends this year and next.

With the deficit’s growth largely unchecked, Biden would use proposed tax hikes on businesses and high-earning people to power huge new social programs like universal prekindergarten, large subsidies for child care and guaranteed paid leave.

But “Biden is a moderate Democrat, and he’s in charge, not Kamala, AOC, or Bernie”. Yeah right.

From a Lakewood restaurant owner
The more people I speak to in different industries, I am seeing that it is affecting all sectors.. (yes, I know that restaurant owner as well, he owns 2 or 3 restaurants..)

All of these might pale in comparison to the current labor shortage reported in that industry due to PUA.

How you are so sure what the cause of labor shortage is ?

I don't know anything for sure. But the buzz all over seems to be that restaurants have a hard time getting workers. These are often minimum/low wage jobs, and getting unemployment (sometimes coupled with some off-the-books job (or trading stonks and crypto)) is more lucrative.

Commodity prices will eventually come down, but once you pay $20 or more per hour for a menial job, I don't see that going down.

How you are so sure what the cause of labor shortage is ?

I live in FL, and as of last Friday, they've reinstated the requirement to have 5 job searches in order to collect unemployment. They will also be getting rid of the Federal supplement at the end of this month. My personal experience is that it is a serious kick in the pants to find a job, and I'm probably more motivated than the majority of people on unemployment, especially low wage workers. I think we'll see a widening unemployment gap in the states where they are making it harder to collect benefits within the next 30-60 days.
