Happy Monday Morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the issues we are facing today are policy decisions. They are choices made by elected officials. While I believe most policy makers are well intentioned it doesn\u2019t mean we should not hold them accountable when mistakes are made. After all, elected officials are put in place to serve the best interests of its citizens, this is why we go to the polls every four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so it is worth evaluating some of the data this week to discuss where we could be going wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with inflation. A global pandemic emerged and our elected officials made the decision to shut down the global economy. It turns out it\u2019s easier to turn off the economy than it is to turn it back on. Governments panicked and the floodgates opened. Massive deficit spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
