.@JoeBiden’s ‘Dark Winter’ Is A Warning About His Economy, Not The China Virus

Should President Trump’s election challenges fail, it’s a certainty that bleak days are ahead. We’re staring into the barrel of 4 years of sclerotic economic

Six days after the election, Biden, employing the Democratic Party strategy of sowing fear whenever possible, warned that the country is facing a long night.
CNBC:

“‘We remain in the midst of one of the worst economic and job crises in modern history,” said the man who as vice president oversaw one of the weakest economic recoveries in U.S. history.
Apparently it never occurred to Biden and his handlers that government intervention, not the virus, caused 2020’s downturn.
Nor have they even begun to understand that Democrats’ economic policies, filled with steep, punitive taxes, and impossible-to-jump regulatory hurdles, are a slow-motion march of the economic lockdowns that almost instantly paralyzed the economy this year.
A lack of optimism in a @JoeBiden economy is not ours alone.

‘Wall Street investors largely believe a Joe Biden presidency could mean lower stock-market returns,” according to a CNBC survey of ‘more than 100 chief investment officers and portfolio managers.’”
The concerns cited by the CIOs and managers should be alarming even to those who aren’t shareholders.
If Biden is able to reverse the Trump tax cut (and increase taxes by several trillion), as well as unwind the admin’s critical regulatory relief, the economy that was recovering strongly from the lethargic Obama years during Trump’s first 3 years will stagnate, & likely decline.
Other developments that would hurt the economy include:

•Biden’s New Green Deal Lite.

•A government-run banking system that would “would undermine private banks, moving the U.S. closer to the socialist ideal of a nationalized financial sector.”
•The possibility Biden will close the economy to the extent that he can, even though 2020’s lockdowns punished the economy and did nothing to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
An analysis of Biden’s economic agenda published by the Hoover Institution says it “reduces full-time equivalent employment per person by about 3%, the capital stock per person by about 15%, real GDP per capita by more than 8%, and real consumption per household by about 7%.”
Economist Stephen Moore, is convinced that “Biden’s anti-biz agenda would wreck the economy,” while Tim Worstall, a senior fellow at the Adam Smith Institute, believes, with reason, Biden’s proposals “will wreak havoc on the economy.”
We’ve said before but it needs to be said again (and again):

“Every major policy Biden campaigned on is anti-growth... Biden boasts of an FDR-scale agenda without realizing that it was Franklin Roosevelt’s reckless interventions that extended and deepened the Great Depression.”
A dark winter. A dark spring.

Darkness until @TheDemocrats are stripped of their political power to choke the economy.

Bidenomics are not a promise, but a threat.

THREAD:
Good afternoon, followers of frivolous election litigation. There's a last-minute entry in the competition for dumbest pre-inauguration lawsuit - a totally loony effort to apparently leave the entire USA without a government.

We'll start with the complaint in a minute.

But first, I want to give you a quick explanation for why I'm going to keep talking about these cases even after the inauguration.

They're part of an ongoing effort - one that's not well-coordinated but is widespread - to discredit our fundamental system of government.

It's a direct descendent, in more ways than one, of birtherism. And here's the thing about birtherism. It might have been a joke to a lot of people, but it was extremely pernicious. It obviously validated the racist "not good enough to be President" crowd. But that wasn't all.

Don't get me wrong, that was bad enough. Validating racism helped put the kind of shitbird who would tweet this from an official government account into power. But it didn't stop


(Also, if you agree with Pompeo about multiculturalism - the legendary melting pot - not being what this country is all about, you need to stop following me now. And maybe go somewhere and think about your life choices and what made you such a tool.)

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
