Biden’s Peggy Lee Economy: Is That All There Is? GDP QoQ Prints At Anemic 1.3%, Core Inflation Prints Hotter At 5.0% QoQ Despite Trillions In Federal Spending

Peggy Lee sang it best about the US economy under Biden: Is that all there is?

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), US GDP QoQ rose slightly to an anemic 1.3%. Actually, this is a terrible print given the trillions in Federal spending after Covid.

Even worse, Core Inflation (PCE core prices) rose to 5%. So, unlike what Treasury Secretary Janet “Transitory” Yellen said, core inflation remains high despite M2 Money growth crashing.

Here is the rest of the story.

Before conservatives have a meltdown over the comments that will be forthcoming from Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean=Pierre, bear in mind that she was senior advisor and national spokesman for hard-left progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org.

She will feel obligated to howl and scream about the debt ceiling and budget with idiocy like “the economy will crash and burn if you cut Biden’s proposed budget.” Gee, for the trillions that Biden has spent, we only got 1.3% GDP growth. So her logic will be “President Biden spent trillions and we got only 1.3% GDP growth! Imagine if we spend less????”
