'Democrat' economists keep getting it wrong

 Jack Hellner:

On August 25, the "experts" forecast third-quarter GDP growth at 5.7%.

On Sept. 28, the "experts" lowered the projected growth to 4%.

On Oct. 28, the first reading of third-quarter GDP came out at...2%.  The experts were so close.

While campaigning for Terry McAuliffe the other night, Joe Biden said the economy is doing great because of his policies and that the U.S. now has more jobs than before the pandemic.

It was trash.  I would not say a decelerating economic growth from 6.7% is doing great, and we have five million fewer jobs, not more jobs.  (I must have missed the fact-checkers correcting this whopper.)

Biden, his spokeswoman Jen Psaki, and others continue to intentionally lie that Biden's great policies brought us out of a deep recession when the facts show that the recession ended nine months before he took office and the economy was growing rapidly at the end of President Trump's term.

Somehow, the fact-checkers don't correct the misinformation so the public learns the truth.  The social media outlets also don't block these known liars from their platforms.

It's official: the COVID recession lasted just two months, the shortest in U.S. history.  So much for experts.

...

With inflation at the gas pump and the grocery stores, people have less money to spend on other goods and services.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
