Never forget what they have taken from us.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>What\u2019s causing it? Simple: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/tag\/inflation\">Inflation<\/a>, high interest costs, and COVID-19 loans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Inflation, of course, drives up business costs to the point they have to hike prices, which chases consumers out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>High interest rates are well-known to strangle business. In fact, that\u2019s why the Fed does them, to strangle household spending enough that federal spending has inflation all to itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And then the COVID-19 loans: During the pandemic, the Small Business Administration pumped out 4 million loans\u2014worth about $380 billion\u2014in so-called economic-injury disaster loans. Note these were separate from the Paycheck Protection Program loans, where $800 billion were handed out to bribe voters into lockdowns.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>While many of the PPP loans were fraudulent\u2014actually, most of them, according to NPR\u201496% of those loans were forgiven.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Incidentally, one gang member recently killed in a Baltimore shootout had, it turned out, an outstanding PPP loan for a nanotech company. Not a joke.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Thing is, those $380 billion in injury loans actually do have to be paid back.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And it turns out a lot of companies can\u2019t. Eighty percent are still outstanding\u2014$300 billion\u2014so, we\u2019re probably just seeing the tip of the injury-loan bankruptcies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Tim Walz stated at a recent Pennsylvania rally, &#8220;<span class=\"kY2IgmnCmOGjharHErah\"><b>We<\/b> <b>can&#8217;t<\/b> <b>afford<\/b> <b>four<\/b> <b>more<\/b> <b>years<\/b> <b>of<\/b> <b>this!&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Please follow the link above for further details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, The Daily Signal posted an article that provides some insight into the actual state of the American economy.
