Saule Omarova, President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), called during a March 2021 virtual conference to eliminate all private bank accounts and deposits.

Omarova spoke at the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project’s “Law & Political Economy: Democracy Beyond Neoliberalism” conference in March.

Omarova discussed one of her papers, “The People’s Ledger How to Democratize Money and Finance the Economy,” which would help “redesign” the financial system and make the economy “ more equitable for everyone .”

Her paper calls for eliminating all banks and transferring all bank deposits to “FedAccounts” at the Federal Reserve.

I know we all like to brand Democrats as “Commies” and “GDC’s” around here, but in her case she’s quite literally an actual Communist. Like born and bred and educated at the finest Communist schools in the Soviet Union.

She CANNOT be allowed to be confirmed. No fucking way.

The MSN also strangely silent on the DNC's obvious links with Russia.

Biden said Friday that he plans to appoint an official from outside his administration to oversee implementation of the large infrastructure bill he intends to sign on Monday.

After spending months wrangling votes to pass the $1.2 trillion public works package, the President is turning his attention to ensuring it is enacted as intended.
Biden and congressional Democrats hope to have some tangible benefit from the new law before next year's midterm elections but are mindful that the appearance of wasted money could sour the public on a package that, for now, remains widely popular.

Biden said he would name the individual responsible for overseeing the implementation at some point next week

Biden Administration Hikes Medicare Premiums, Blames Drug Costs and Pandemic

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...zAnPU1H3CByxiHhAxXEB

President Joe Biden’s administration on Friday announced it is raising Medicare premiums, a move it blamed in part on the cost of drugs.

The Medicare Part B standard monthly premium will rise by nearly $22 to $170.10 next year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said.

“The increase in the Part B premium for 2022 is continued evidence that rising drug costs threaten the affordability and sustainability of the Medicare program,” Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, administrator of the agency, said in a statement.

“The Biden-Harris Administration is working to make drug prices more affordable and equitable for all Americans, and to advance drug pricing reform through competition, innovation, and transparency,” she added.

The move also stemmed from the limiting of the monthly premium increase this year in the Continuing Appropriations Act and from “spending trends driven by COVID-19,” the agency said. “It also reflects the need to maintain a contingency reserve for unanticipated increases in health care spending, particularly certain drug costs.”

One drug in particular was a major factor. Officials said the uncertainty surrounding the potential use of the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm by people covered by Medicare meant they needed to store away a higher level of reserves. The agency in July began analyzing whether Medicare would cover the drug but has not yet finished the analysis.


In addition to the monthly premium, the annual deductible will rise from $203 to $233. Also, Medicare Part A inpatient deductibles will jump $72 to $1,556 next year, and Medicare part A daily coinsurance and skilled nursing facility coinsurance will both increase at least $9.

Officials pointed out that many Americans covered by Medicare will see a net increase in Social Security benefits. The Social Security Administration announced last month that recipients will get a 5.9 percent increase in benefits.

However, the 14.5 percent jump in Medicare premiums—the highest since 2016—will eat up the entire adjustment for Social Security recipients with the lowest benefits, according to Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan seniors group.

“Social Security recipients with higher benefits should be able to cover the $21.60 per month increase, but they may not wind up with as much left over as they were counting on,” Mary Johnson, a policy analyst for the group, said in a statement.

Further, inflation is causing the cost of all variety of goods to rise, including core spending priorities like groceries.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for Americans 65 or older. Americans can start receiving Social Security as early as age 62, though they receive more if they wait until full retirement age.

Laughable! The jackals are already trying to figure ways to carve out some pork from this. There is no doubt that our infrastructure needs revamping in every state, mainly in roads and bridges. Someone better keep a very close eye on the money so it doesn't go towards "women's studies", or a presidential library.

Wow, $1.2 trillion, a significant portion of which will be wasted. To compare, what was the estimated cost to finish the wall?

Harris and Buttigieg under the spotlight amid uncertainty over Biden’s future

https://www.washingtonpost.com...2406a2e24_story.html

For now, at least, Harris and Buttigieg, barrier-breaking Democrats who failed in their initial White House bids, are the highest-profile prospects to succeed Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2024 or 2028, although other promising candidates are all but certain to emerge.

Biden has said he plans to run for reelection, but as he nears his 79th birthday, even some of his allies are not sure he will.

IMHO it's going to be a free-for-all whether Biden runs again or not. It's not like Biden really stood out in the last batch of primary contestants, and both Buttigieg and Harris are vulnerable in starkly obvious ways.

I'm not sure Sleepy Joe will finish his first term let alone run for a second. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns after next year's mid-terms.

Nothing is worse for a politician that appearing like you don't care about the problems people are facing. Calling the current inflation "transitory" was not a smart move in my opinion.

The latest ABC News/ Washington Post poll has Sleepy Joe with only a 38% approval rating. Common wisdom is you can't get re-elected when your approval rating drops below 40%.

While his current low approvals could be "transitory" (pun intended) I don't see Sleepy Joe with the same charisma as Slick Willie (Bill Clinton) or Barrack Obama.

A couple more months of bad inflation news and the Dems are going to have a really hard time come the mid-terms.

Not to mention it was rigged.

In the primary, Joe was coming in dead least at virtually everything. Couldn’t attract 5 people to a rally. Then all of a sudden, mysteriously, he wins SC. By a lot. And we didn’t care at the time to ask why. Then the others, to include cackles and idiot Pete started dropping like flies. Almost as if they were told that it was rigged. And they’d get cushy jobs if they drop out.

It was rigged.

"It was rigged."

absolutely. They had to stop Bernie Sanders from winning the DEM nomination.

re inflation

Donna Brazile says the answer is "Be a smart shopper"

^^^ "Don't buy Brazil nuts! Nobody every eats them anyway!"

You know, if you think about it, they had to rig it. A few of the candidates got some momentum started here and there, but not a single one of them ever really managed to sustain and develop enthusiastic support among as much as a third of Dem primary voters.

Ah, suddenly it all becomes clear.

Uncah Joe's expecting a resurgence in his popularity in 2023 from his heroically standing up in the face of a vicious Republican House and Senate. It will unfortunately leave him powerless to do what he promised to do but the icing on the cake is that it will also give him someone else to blame when things go wrong.

Now if only there were an effort afoot to blame the losses in 2022 on Occasional Cortex and the 30-loon strong 'squad' in the House of Representatives. Oh, wait. That began at about 8:30 or 9:00 PM on every major news channel except FOX on the night of the Virginia gubernatorial election.

With a little luck Uncah Joe could get a head start on his retirement right after the midterms. All he'll have to do is say "no" every so often and then bugger off back to Rehobeth Beach.

Et tu Biden?

Problems between Biden/Harris camps.

The bloom is off the rose when it gets this bad for CNN to comment. Front page on CNN now.
She was their back up plan and now they're throwing her under the bus.
She's pointing fingers back too. Probably scared his incompetence and low popularity will forever be attached to her and make her toxic to voters from here on out.
They are both making Nancy Pelosi look like a better option and I can't believe I'm even thinking that thought.

The White House on Monday scrambled to support Vice President Kamala Harris from a damaging CNN report about her struggles.

The report detailed White House aides were exasperated with Harris and her team and the vice president felt unsupported by President Joe Biden’s team.

“For anyone who needs to hear it, the Vice President is not only a vital partner to the president but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country — from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wrote on Twitter after the story broke online Sunday night.
