On Friday’s spread of the Fox News Channel’s” America Reports”, scholar, President of Queens ‘ College, Allianz Chief Economic Adviser, and former Obama Global Development Council Chair Dr. Mohamed El- Erian stated that while President Joe Biden’s economic policies have worked in terms of the work business,” Where they’re not working is in giving the average American protection”.
Co-host Sandra Smith posed the following question: [ Related exchange begins at 2:40]” I hear you talking about the headwinds in the economy and how this is n’t really felt by everyday Americans, this benefits mostly the wealthy, the very people this administration claims they’re out to help are n’t really benefiting from that stock market run. But, do you say this President’s financial plans are working”?
El- Erian answered,” Thus, where they’re working is in the employment market, where we’ve had 28 weeks of employment below 4 %. That is an amazing report. Where they’re hardly working is in giving the average American protection. And you can clearly see that in the polls. They are worried about costs, they’re worried about potential pay. Their epidemic benefits have now turned unfavorable, and quite a few of the –” parts have their credit cards maxed up.
Smith then approached Smith and said,” Do you fear this is the type of shoe that will cut next?” The use of credit cards is increasing. Although, we have n’t seen a significant change in the delinquency rates, is there a change?
El- Erian cut in to state,” We’re starting to see it. What worries me is that I do n’t have spare tires for a car. But, if we hit a bump in the employment market, which I hope we do n’t, but, if, for some reason, firms started laying off a lot more people, therefore we no longer have the spare tire of saving, low- income communities have used up their pandemic benefits and most of them have maxed out their credit cards”.
He added,” I am worried that the market’s going to start slowing significantly faster than most people think”.
