Dems' infrastructure spending could lead to devastating crash, warns billionaire
(ZEROHEDGE) – This isn't the first time billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller has warned that U.S. markets are caught up in a "raging mania" fostered by the trillions of dollars in government spending. Druck, an acolyte of George Soros known for his macro investing prowess (even as he complains that contemporary Fed-backstopped markets "make no sense") is a frequent guest on CNBC. But on Friday morning, he made a brief appearance on MSNBC's Morning Show with Stephanie Ruhle, who seemed ill-equipped to respond to Druck's arguments about why the Dems' multi-trillion two-part infrastructure plan will end up hurting America's poorest citizens.
As Druck explains, the "V-shaped" economic recovery has been "the sharpest recovery in history," noting that it took 10 years for the American economy to achieve the same gains following the start of the Great Depression.
The problem is that the nearly $6 trillion allocated by Congress to combat the economic impact of COVID has been spent after the economy already finished recovering. The accelerating pace of inflation, and inability of certain businesses to hire lower-wage workers, are but byproducts of this.
