Inflation wipes out pay increases

Congress passing the $1T infrastructure deal today, and soon the $3.5T socialist new deal, will wipe people's income levels back even further than they already have been. It's only transitory though, say our enlightened leaders. Keep the printers going.

    The GOPe voted along with the left on this. One should not forget that

    The GOP is the enemy every bit as much as the democrats. And both parties have rigged the game once again to keep the outsiders on the outside

    There is one voice against this. The voice you all wanted silenced along with the DC elites

    This is your reward. Sit back and enjoy the rape

    That's why I didn't congratulate Joe on his big win here. McConnell's corpse and the rest of his ilk are in the same boat.

    Bi partisan cooperation means giving the left what they want

    Remember how Chuck and Nancy and Romney worked together on the Trump agenda? Brought a tear to my eye seeing all that bi partisanship

    Big infrastructure fan here. I'm sure the money will be misused to a large extent, and runaway inflation creeps even closer with this spending. As is tradition.

    ATBS, our physical infrastructure is objectively a joke, and the rest of the world is running laps around us. I'm not sure I see another way to go about fixing all of our broken shit.

    If the trillion was spent on actual infrastructure sure. Instead its a gateway to 3.5 trillion dollars more of leftist bullshit

    So we have a trillion that won't be spent on infrastructure and 3.5 trillion more that have nothing to do with infrastructure

    I didn't vote for it.
    I-5 through the Rose Quarter is 4 lanes (2 each way) and we have needed a new I-5 bridge over the Columbia for decades. They are still talking about it and there is lot of green opposition to expanding I-5. We will have spent more time winning World War II than starting today, getting any shovels in the ground. Spending money on mass transit is just like burning the money in the pile. In 2021 mass transit is not reliable and not safe. They want your guns and cars. Both represent liberty and freedom. Oregon hasn't built a major highway or expanded US 26, I-5 or I-84 since I-205 in the early 70s. One major new bridge - the Tillicum, no cars, just mass transit and bikes. We are so phucked.

    We've entered into the African despot phase of our corruption and decline. Where the project doesn't even get built and all the money is stolen. 10 years from now our roads and bridges will still be crumbling, but we'll have inner-city electric vehicle charging stations built and then destroyed by homeless people who now use them to charge their iphones and run electricity to their bum camps.


    I'm sure the big guy will get his 10% off the top though.
    The bullet train is beyond inexcusable. Heads should roll but there seem to be no consequences.

    Same with the hundreds of billions spent on wind, solar and ethanol. Build nukes and frack of federal lands and sell LNG to the Asians instead of coal. But we don't because they aren't serious, it's about crony capitalism, the chicoms and feelings.

    Did Putin invade in August 2021? That's what I thought. No inflation then.

    @MelloDawg wrong about everything

    I always find it funny that people in the Oacific Northwest are screaming for renewable energy in the form of solar panels, and wind turbines. People don’t understand that most of the energy here comes from hydro electric, which is about as renewable as it gets.

    You know it’s a good post/thread when Mellow rushes to down vote it first.

    Same in 2022.
