More than, actually.
“In fact, pay for individual federal workers has kept growing each year thanks to both cost-of living raises and “step” increases. The federal pay escalator kept on running right through the recession. Meanwhile, federal workers enjoy job security [civilians] can only dream of.”
Notice none of them lost their jobs over the Wuhan Virus.

At least in Lancaster, California (north of Los Angeles) where regular unleaded is $7 a gallon. Guess which one trucks use? And what travels by truck? Just about everything.

“The White House has effectively put a blockade on new contracts for cheap and efficient natural energy production, leading to skyrocketing energy prices across the nation. Under the guise of “climate action” and “Build Back Better” statism, the government is doing its best to destroy a massive sector of the economy.”
Build Back Bankrupt will be more like it for millions of people and Lyin’ Biden doesn’t care. After the prosperity-for-all of the Trump years, the impact on families will be devastating.

UPDATE: Case you suspect me of exaggeration, Lyin’ Biden’s own energy secretary has celebrated the end of gasoline and other fossil fuels.

That’s what Lyin’ Biden intends to force us all to buy by raising gasoline prices beyond what most people can afford. Trouble is the existing electric cars are either too expensive (Tesla goes for about $70,000); too mundane (the Chevy Bolt at $33,000) or a replacement battery costs almost as much as the car (The $27,000 Nissan Leaf can replace for about $15,000). Other than disliking being forced by lying politicians to do anything, I’m thinking it may be wiser to walk. Or ride a bicycle, like the rest of the world’s peasantry. Or continue working from home, for those who are able to do so.

That’s when Lyin’ Biden’s friends and security better watch his back. He’s done it on purpose, canceling pipelines, and closing oil fields, to supposedly solve global warming. I doubt the climate will be impressed but widespread poverty (from gasoline and climbing electricity rates) leading to a full-on depression will definitely get people’s attention. Inflation is just the beginning, folks. Voters, even the millions of illegals Biden is bringing into the country to vote Dimocrat, won’t like the combination of rising prices and declining assets. Will the Dimocrat party ever recover?

Breitbart opinion writer John Nolte has gotten in some pretty good licks on “our idiot president…His Fraudulency.” Nolte’s latest is a winner.
“His profligate spending, his unrelenting threat of higher taxes and regulation, his taking his eye off the ball of our supply chain…and his war against affordable energy all resulted in an economic downturn that didn’t have to happen… Like exploding gas prices, empty shelves freak people out and depress them. These things work as signals that tell people something is terribly wrong in the world. They unsettle us and when we’re unsettled, we spend less, and when we spend less, that’s when you enter a recession.”

I am not the least bit sorry for our asshole president, no matter how demented he appears, because of what he has done and is continuing to do to Americans of the working and middle classes via inflation and illegal immigration. He doesn’t give a shit. So f*** Joe Biden.
