Stop the Insanity!

As noted yesterday, Senator Manchin Urges Fed to Immediately Taper to Halt Inflation and Avoid Tax Hikes.

Frightened?

Are you frightened by sanity or insanity? 

On the Insane Side

Manchin can do little or nothing about Fed insanity but he can stop fiscal insanity in Congress easily.

Q: How?
A: Switch Political Parties

If Manchin flipped, it would make McConnell the Senate Majority Leader and end the threat of Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie breaking vote for fiscally insane policies.

I suggest it is Manchin’s patriotic duty to switch political parties.

I know you are worried that The Biden/Harris admin plans will work. If they would fail, why the worry. What you are worried about is that higher taxes and tax enforcement is coming. The party is over for you and your fellow Top 01 %.

BS. To the contrary. It is Manchin’s duty to support HUMAN rights by supporting VOTING rights and overturning the filibuster (which McConnell has shamelessly buried things under for many years). Full stop.

Manchin wants to be the governor of West Virginia again, can’t see how this would further his interest.

He’s the only state-wide elected Democrat in WV.  A state that went 69% for Trump in both ’16 and ’20.  Even Romney got 63% there when Obama crushed him in 2012.
The state has swung hard right since it last went for a Democrat (other than Manchin). That was Clinton in 1996.
You think Manchin switching parties would hurt him?

Come on Manchin, you can do it.  Your own daughter, as CEO of a pharmaceutical company, jacked up the price of epi-pens from $100 to over $600 and fleecing the US government (and Mish’s beloved taxpayers) out of over a billion dollars.  You’d fit right in with the party of crooks, liars, frauds and faux-conservatives.

Remember how the Republican party was first created. We are in a similar situation politically and socially.

It looks to m like the Fed has it about right on monetary policy.  Inflation expectations are very close to the stated average target.  The spending proposals are not too large, but they should be paid for with taxes, not additional debt at this time.

But at least we don’t have mean tweets!!!First it was Trump should lose but Rs will still have control of Senate.  Then it was well that’s okay Rs lost control of Senate but we still have Manchin.  Now (as Manchin cannot be counted on) it’s that he should switch parties!You get what you deserve.  The Trumpers told you this is what would happen. But “Orange Man Bad”.  I hope we get what’s coming to us, good and hard.

Why flip. He has figured it out.   He has more power in the middle.

Mish, you might be at risk of becoming a real political influencer with this one. You can bet this post will make the rounds, and I’m sure it will add to pressure that no doubt already is there, for Manchin to do exactly what you’re calling for. 
Wouldn’t  that be a kick in the pants, if he flipped.

He doesn’t need to flip.  He is already doing what the owners of the right-wing DONORcrat Party want him to do i.e. play the role of the “rotating villain”.

Once upon a time, when we still enjoyed healthy economies, one had to pay at least 8 % on the mortgage, one fetched at least a moderate riskless 4% on savings WITHOUT having to get involved in banksters imposed RISKY  business, one didn t have to overpay for real estate because the FOMO was way too unaffordable and prices kept pace with normal inflation, when nowadays EVERYONE  with some dough to spare buys fckn houses or apartments pushing prices into the stratosphere ….How long still before the fed’s and other CB’s policies implode or explode into their, and consequently  our faces ?

It may be better for the Republicans to leave the DONORcrats “in charge”.   It makes no difference policy wise how many DONORcrats are there in the Senate.  There will always be “rotating villains” in the party.     After all, what did they pass when they had as many as 60 Senators?  That’s right.  A right-wing health insurance giveaway to their Big Insurance bosses.
