Biden is definitely printing money, but to be fair that is what the US has been doing for the past several decades. What is different with Bidenomics is the allocation of that money - the attempt at least is being made to convert excess cap

Trump 2.0 would obviously be an accelerator but we are already on the timeline set by Trump 1.0. In a hostile de-globalising world, it is hard to see any return to free market economics. In fact, all of the 'free' (speech, assembl
