On Sunday at 3:30 p.m., 37 individuals graduated with Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) certification after participating in an intensive 21-hour training program. The training was hosted by the Santa Barbara Foodbank and the graduation ceremony took place at the New Foodbank Warehouse at 80-82 Coromar Dr. in Goleta. CERT training is a nine-unit course offered and certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “This covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. With training and practice, and by working as a team, you will be able to protect yourself and maximize your capability to help for the greatest number of people after a disaster,” according to FEMA. The final exam was a simulated disaster scenario which took place at the new Foodbank warehouse. “We have to come together and do this together as family and friends. So we have opened this training up for families. Even kids are participating, I have a couple kids participating as a victim,” Anthony Rodriguez, the Foodbank’s operations and disaster services specialist, told the News-Press on Thursday. “Before, during and after disasters, CERT volunteer teams perform basic response activities, including checking in on neighbors, distributing information to the public, supporting emergency operations centers and helping to manage traffic and crowds. Local CERT programs train and organize teams of volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members during emergencies when professional responders may not be immediately available to provide assistance,” according to FEMA.

The instructors for this weekend’s CERT training were Mr. Rodriguez, Yoli McGlinchey of the Santa Barbara Fire Dept., Mike Williams of FSTI (formerly in emergency response at UCSB), Bob Strojek of the Red Cross, Liliana Encinas at Listos, Lloyd Sims of Santa Barbara County Department of Public Health, retired firefighters Mario Cuevas and Vidal Vego and Justin Haagan of Safety Matters. “I just really think people should take advantage of the opportunity to take the classes when they have it. It’s not if, it’s when. If you aren’t prepared it can take a toll on you physically and mentally and the more prepared you are the better you can help. It’s good to know your neighbors are prepared. We are all in this together,” said Mr. Rodriguez.

The simulated natural disaster involved an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 or higher.

Biden considers canceling student loan debt By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden is considering canceling student loan debt for millions of Americans, a move critics say could increase inflation and further exacerbate the nation’s economic woes. “I am considering dealing with some debt reduction,” President Biden told reporters Thursday. President Biden added that he would not forgive as much as $50,000 of debt per borrower, a figure that had previously been tossed around, but would take a “hard look” at another plan. He said he would release more details in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, as inflation remains high, bipartisan groups raise concerns about federal spending, and the latest economic reports show the economy shrank last quarter. Critics say canceling student loan debt would further add to the federal debt and inflation, which is at the highest rate in decades. “Student debt cancellation may be an extremely appealing political talking point, but it is not good policy,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “It is costly, inflationary, poorly targeted, and fails to address the root problems in our higher education financing system. “Either the President is serious about reducing deficits and getting inflation under control, or he is not,” she added. “The White House can’t have it both ways. We need to be focusing on a serious and effective agenda that prioritizes sound policies, not poorly targeted political

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will review a report on federal infrastructure money and consider potential programs the county may be eligible for. The board will review the presentation on money made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed by President Joe Biden in 2021. The presentation will be for informational purposes only and give supervisors an idea of how Santa Barbara County might be able to utilize various funding. Additionally Tuesday, the board is set to work on an annual action plan to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regarding the annual allocation and grant awards made to qualifying nonprofit organizations as well as Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program entitlement funds. The estimated CDBG funds for fiscal year 2022-2023 total nearly $1.3 million, according to a staff report. The estimated HOME funds for that same time period total more than $1.3 million. The Board of Supervisors is meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the County Administration Building at 105 E. Anapamu St. in Santa Barbara. Interested individuals can attend in-person or online at http://www.countyofsb.org/ceo/ csbtv/livestream.sbc or https:// www.youtube.com/user/CSBTV20.

Positions available on Goleta boards GOLETA — The city of Goleta is seeking applications for upcoming vacancies on the Design Review Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, Library Advisory Commission, and the Santa Barbara County Library Advisory Committee. Residents can apply for the following positions: • Design Review Board – one vacancy for an AtLarge Member. This board meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 3 p.m., and the members are compensated $50 per meeting. • Parks and Recreation Commission – one vacancy for a commissioner.

debts. The Department of Education recently announced “immediate debt cancellation” for 40,000 borrowers via Public Service Loan Forgiveness after years of complaints about mismanagement of the program. While the number of forgiven borrowers was comparatively small, it raised more questions about a more significant cancellation. Ms. MacGuineas added that even a middle ground partial debt cancellation would be costly. “Full debt cancellation would be a massive hand-out to rich doctors and lawyers, would worsen our inflation crisis, and would cost almost as much as the entire 2017 tax cuts,” she said. “Even partial debt cancellation would be costly, regressive, and inflationary. Forgiving $10,000 per person of debt would cost as much as universal pre-K or a full extension of the expanded ACA subsidies.” Regardless of whether President Biden cancels student loan debt, experts say the U.S. may be in for a bumpy economic ride and even a recession. “On one hand, this economic report shows that U.S. demand is resilient in the face of many headwinds – COVID, supply chain issues, labor shortages, a cooling global economy, a war in Europe, and rising commodity prices,” Mr. Divounguy said. “This is because personal consumption expenditures – roughly 70% of GDP – and investment

actually increased despite the price increases. On the other hand, higher input costs for producers harm U.S. economic prospects. Higher inflation is pulling down U.S. output and U.S. exports. Uncertainty in Europe and a weaker global economy has also strengthened the U.S. dollar and U.S. imports are soaring. As a matter of simple accounting, lower net exports subtract from GDP. “The increase in the trade deficit is also a sign that domestic demand is outstripping the economy’s productive capacity,” he added. “And that means the U.S. economy is overheating.”

over.” The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported this week that the economy shrank by 1.4%, contradicting predictions that the economy would grow by 1%. The data comes after the economy grew nearly 6% in 2021, a rebound year after the economic difficulties of the COVID-19 shutdowns. The Federal Reserve has announced a series of interest rate hikes to combat inflation, but some experts doubt whether they will succeed or make the economy worse. “An overheating U.S. economy will prompt the Fed to act more aggressively to combat inflation,” said Orphe Divounguy, chief economist at the Illinois Policy Institute. “Faster inflation will weigh down U.S. economic growth. However, more aggressive action at the Fed – to bring down inflation – could also plunge the economy into a recession. To tamp down inflation, either demand needs to decrease, or America needs a miracle increase in productivity. The latest economic data are likely to result in faster and more aggressive rate hikes. “Unfortunately, the Fed has rarely been successful at bringing down inflation without precipitating a recession,” he added. Those economic woes have raised the stakes for a potential debt cancellation. President Biden, though, has already canceled some students’

giveaways.” The economic pressures of inflation, fueled in part by the rash of federal debt spending in recent years, have Americans feeling the pinch. A recent study found that they are cutting back on discretionary spending to focus on the essentials. A newly released Gallup poll reports that Americans see inflation as a top concern. “Americans’ confidence in the economy remains very low, and mentions of economic issues as the most important problem in the U.S. are at their highest point since 2016,” Gallup said. “Inflation, which registered as the top economic problem last month and continues to be, was previously at this level in 1984.” A recent poll from NEXT Insurance reported that one in three small businesses have considered shutting down. “According to a new survey by NEXT Insurance, small business owners across the United States are frustrated and stressed about inflation and the state of the economy,” the group said. “More than one-third have considered shutting down in the last 12 months. As prices continue to rise and supply chains continue to falter, many small business owners have been forced to work longer hours, raise prices, and even cut their own salaries just to stay afloat, our survey found.

The UCSB softball team claimed its first series win of the 2022 season after beating out UC Davis 6-2 in the rubber match. The Gauchos fell to the Aggies 10-2 just before the series finale. Santa Barbara played incredible defense in the final game of the series, helping them take the win and improve their record to 14-33 on the season and 5-16 in Big West Play.

Game 1 Tyler Goldstein notched another multi-hit game, going two-forthree at the plate - including an RBI single to bring in a run from Alexa Sams. Maci Fines recorded her 48th hit of the season, setting a new career-high. The Gauchos’ three other hits came from first baseman Rayna Cohen, pitcher Lexy Mills, and right fielder Sam Denehy. Alyssa Molina earned the start, tossing 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits while walking five and striking out three. The first couple of innings were quiet for both teams and it was the Aggies who would get on the board first - scoring two runs on two hits in the bottom of the third. UCSB responded in the fourth

with two runs of their own from Alexa Sams and Sam Denehy, tying the game at 2-2. Unfortunately, this would turn out to be the only two runs from the Gauchos. The Aggies had a late rally as they scored eight runs in the bottom of the sixth, six of which were unearned. The game ended then as Davis run-ruled Santa Barbara.

Game 2 Lexy Mills tossed her sixth full game of the series and was the pitcher of record, improving to 411 on the season. Mills also had an impressive offensive game, going 3-for-4 at the plate, and notched a run of her own. Tyler Goldstein extended her hit-streak to eight straight, setting a new season high. She recorded two hits, including an RBI double as Mills came home. Ally Nodohara roped an RBI single, making it her 17th of the season and is now one away from breaking a new career high. The remaining three hits came from catcher Teah Thies, third baseman Korie Thomas, and shortstop Chloe Stewart. The Gauchos outhit their opponents 9-8 and struck out one. Santa Barbara scored first in the top of the second inning, starting off with a Nodohara ground ball that popped right out

of the Aggies’ shortstop’s glove, giving Lauren Lewis and Korie Thomas time to reach and take a 2-0 lead. UCSB had a beautiful play in the bottom of the third as they got two Aggies stuck in a pickle, ultimately tagging both out after swift defensive shifts were made by the Gauchos. Another Santa Barbara run came in the fourth after a Thomas walk and a Stewart sacrifice bunt put Thomas in scoring position. Nodohara followed it up with an RBI single to bring Thomas across the plate, improving their lead to 3-0. The Aggies responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the fourth. The Gauchos had their best and last offensive run in the fifth. Lexy Mills kicked things off with a double down the left field line and advanced to third after an Aggie error that also put Thies on first. Wasting no time, Goldstein hit a 1-0 ball down the left field line, bringing Mills home. Thomas singled to shortstop as Goldstein advanced to third and Thies made it across the plate. Freshman Lucy Mogan then put up a sacrifice fly allowing Goldstein to score the final run for the Gauchos - putting the score at 6-1. UC Davis found a late run in the sixth, but the Gaucho defense held

The San Marcos High boys volleyball team overcame Notre Dame High in the second round of the playoffs on Saturday, winning in four close sets 26-24, 23-25, 25-22 and 25-23. “We have been getting stuck in the second round of the playoffs for many years,” said Head Coach Roger Kuntz. “It was a great win for us today against a very solid team. We have not been to the quarterfinals since 2014, and we are looking forward to the opportunity.” Leading the way for the Royals was senior middle hitter Aiden Pazier, who managed 14 kills and seven blocks. Senior outside hitter Zach Willbanks added 13 kills, while junior middle Kyle Foley and sophomore outside Jack Wilson contributed 11 each. Leading the team in digs was junior opposite Luke Walker with eight to go along with eight kills. Junior setter Hansen Streeter added 57 assists on the game while senior libero Colin Earls had a perfect game in serve receive. “We are playing our best volleyball right now and we are health,” said Kuntz. “We continue to have a very balanced offensive attack that overshadows our weaknesses on defense. Our energy was very high today and our leadership came through.” San Marcos will make the quarterfinal appearance on Wednesday, playing the winner of the match

between Long Beach Wilson and Foothill of Santa Ana. The Royals will play at home if Wilson wins and on the road if Foothill comes away with the victory.

Laguna Blanca wins playoff game at Villa Park The Laguna Blanca boys volleyball team came with a playoff win over Villa Park on Saturday, dropping the first set 21-25 before coming back to win the next three 25-16, 25-21 and 29-27. “We started off a little slow, but responded nicely and earned a nice CIF road win,” said Coach Jason Donnelly. “This team has bought into doing whatever it takes to improve everyday we are in the gym. It’s a tight-knit group that stuck together against an extremely tough opponent. They fought off two game points in the fourth and stayed composed when it mattered most. I’m really proud of their effort.” Gandon Walker led the attack for Laguna Blanca, managing 15 kills and four digs, while Thomas Couvillion added 13 kills and five digs and Freddie Russell contributed 12 kills and four blocks. Jack Shiebler dished out 48 assists while also adding four digs and two blocks. The team will host either Hillcrest or Downey on Wednesday as the playoff run continues. Please see ROUNDUP on A4

Northern lights are seen over an ice sheet in Greenland

‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ Greenland focus of exhibit opening Saturday at Solvang museum

onstant daylight bathes the island nation for days, weeks or months on end from May through July. The soft, warm rays from the low-lying sun cast a surreal palette of pink, purple, yellow and red on icebergs and hilltops. Known for its glaciers and ice, Greenland also has layers of culture and history that date back 4,500 years. Stunning photographs of the island’s vast Arctic terrain, its

people and its culture will be on display in the exhibition, “Greenland — Land of the Midnight Sun,” from Saturday through Sept. 18 at the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art in Solvang. A reception, free and open to the public, will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. May 14. “While interacting with the exhibition, viewers will learn more about the vast Greenland ice sheet, which is up to two miles thick and covers more than 80 percent of the island. The ice sheet and Ilulissat Glacier on Greenland’s west coast — the

fastest moving glacier in the world — are often included in conversations about the global climate system,” said Esther Jacobsen Bates, executive director of the museum and exhibit curator. Located in North America near Canada, Greenland is the world’s largest island. Contrary to its name, it’s not very green, and it is covered in ice. “Due to its location and climate, Greenland is the least populated place in the world,” said Ms. Bates. “The majority of the population is Inuit or mixed Danish and Inuit. The resulting

culture is historically diverse and beautifully connected to the land.” The exhibition was created in collaboration with the Environmental Alliance of Santa Barbara County Museums. Formed in 2020, the alliance is a collective of 14 institutions with one shared purpose: to explore the impacts of climate change through art, history, science or nature. Elverhøj is taking part in this first-of-its-kind collaboration. Exhibits and activities through September aim to inform, inspire and prompt action. “Greenland seemed like a good

fit for this museum as Greenland remains a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, although the island’s home-rule government is responsible for most domestic affairs. Lots more info can be found in the panels I produced to support the images on view,” said Ms. Bates. “My contacts at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Denmark’s Embassy in Washington, D.C., Greenland representation at the Embassy, and Visit Greenland all provided information and materials.” Elverhøj Museum of History & Art, 1624 Elverhoy Way, is the cultural hub of Solvang with a

triple focus: documenting the history of Solvang, celebrating Danish culture and the DanishAmerican immigrant experience and promoting fine art and artists. Exhibits throughout the museum’s rooms and galleries highlight these three elements, as does the building itself, intertwined with its architecture and ornamentation.

Wicker giraffe an example of Boho Chic

S. has a whimsical, 5-foot-tall white wicker 1970s giraffe plant stand that, when found, was buried in her late grandmother’s planting shed amongst old garden tools. When she began to restore it, she found it had been painted white years ago over the natural buff rattan, white, with a black nose and button eyes. Cute? No, it does not fit with her ultra-modern décor, although she remembers it in her grandmother’s 1970s modern house. Therefore, she questions what vintage modern really looked like. Because she has not seen such a thing in her travels through modern furniture shops, she wonders if it is a rare “one-off.” And further, is it wicker or rattan? First, it is wicker. Rattan is a material along with other materials for weaving which include bamboo, cane, and synthetic rattan made from engineered resin. Wicker is simply a style of weaving which includes the use of the materials listed above. Wicker goes back centuries: in Egyptian tombs, some as prestigious as King Tut’s, we find wicker seating furniture. King Tut’s wicker chair lasted thousands of years because he was not capable of doing the following destructive things to it: It was not left outside to be damaged by UV rays, it was not left in the rain or dew to be mildewed and rotted, and it was not power washed. P.S., your wicker giraffe is not a “one-off.” This type of plant stand, made in the figure of a thing or animal, was popular in the 1970s, a very strange era in terms of style and taste. Your animal plant stand goes along with the unexplainable things we liked in the 1970s such as Tang; Jell-O; white bread; avocado green vehicles, can openers, washing machines and refrigerators; Waldorf salad in Tupperware; devilled eggs in custom dishes; platform shoes; chiffon scarves over Bouffant

hair and Richard Nixon. Wicker was hot in any form in the 1970s. I find wicker plant stands in the shapes of giraffes, short owls, elephants, reindeers, cycles, turtles, ducks and rhinoceroses. Unexplainable, but one can understand that after the shock of the 1960s, where nothing was comfortable, a cute, unaggressive, reliable shape of an animal figure was comforting. And such a thing was its own statement against highbrow minimalism in the day. After the stern geometry of the highest style of modern décor in the 1960s, a nice animal was a welcome sight, a grown woman’s form of a cuddly stuffed animal. Definitely not Bauhaus and not International Style at all. I find that today these animal wicker pieces are found under the category of Boho Chic. What does that mean? It is a look based on “bohemian” ways of life, originally based

in the 1950s, that rebelled against wartime conservatism, and stood for an artistic, selfexpressive individuality. The Chic part comes from the adoption of Hippie culture, and that means ethnic and multicultural. I do not need to say more about the “hippie look.” I remember the Sly and the Family Stone concert in Grant Park in 1970. I also learned that Boho-Chic is different from Boho style. Boho is more abandoned and wilder (think of the wealthy, pretty wannabees at Coachella) and reminds us of 100 bangle bracelets, headscarves and dangle earrings. Boho Chic on the other hand is more urban with a more sophisticated color scheme, as opposed to pure Boho which reeks of crochet halter tops, fringe, lace, see through fabrics, patchwork, fur and peasant dresses about to fall off one’s shoulders. Which indicates that the interiors of people supporting Boho are equally artfully unkempt; not so with Boho Chic. Boho Chic apparently had its peak in 2005 with interiors and clothing featuring folk pieces paired with sleek modern (think Sienna Miller in Alfie) curated pieces. P.S.’ giraffe is now termed Boho Chic because it has an ethnic-y feel and looks modern. The Urban Dictionary, however, denigrates Boho Chic, and defines Boho Chic as a cheap fashion trend that costs rich young women a lot of money, a trend which used hot females to model crocheted doilies (which costs the seamstress originally $1 at a flea market), remade into sexy bra-lettes selling for $500. Thus, the same thing applies to P.S.’ giraffe, which was once a whimsical addition to her grandmother’s house, and cost extraordinarily little at the time, and was no high culture statement or high art at all, but today can be found on 1st Dibs for $800.

ideas who shaped its history and present-day lifestyle. “Greenland is majestic — and so important,” said Ms. Bates. “What happens in Greenland affects people everywhere. It plays an important role in the global climate system. The immense ice sheet, which covers 81% of the island, serves as an air conditioner for the world as it helps to regulate global temperatures. “Scientists study the amount of sea ice forming and melting every year as an indicator of the condition of the climate. Most of us are familiar with the term climate change. For many of us, it’s something that we simply see in the news, with environmental

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

dream that, if everyone just followed, would make the world a much better place. People may make fun of you for having such a perspective, but this definitely doesn’t mean that you should stop dreaming. Scorpio: Issues regarding control of a situation are probably going to be your focus, Scorpio. More than likely, you adhere to a solidly planned routine. You have a set way of doing things and you want to stick to it. Other people are moving into the picture, however, and they may want to take a leadership role. People will be adamant and strong willed when it comes to their facts. You should be, too. Sagittarius: You’re apt to speak and act with a great deal of power, Sagittarius, but be careful that you don’t get swept away by emotion. There’s a surrealistic quality to the day. It could lead you to believe a mirage is real. You might get so caught up in the drama of your feelings that your power of reason gets watered down to the point where you lose track of your objectivity altogether. Capricorn: Your concept of reality could be based more on your emotions than facts, Capricorn. This is one of those days when this could get you into trouble. Whatever comes up, you’re likely to feel very passionate about it and tend to lose any rational perspective whatsoever. Integrity, inner strength, and self-confidence will be the glue that holds your mind and heart together. Aquarius: This is your day to shine, Aquarius. Just make sure you don’t do so at someone else’s expense. You’re feeling more self-confident than usual, which may be hard for you to believe. Nevertheless, you could be so focused on your agenda that you fail to see subtle signals put out by those around you. Pisces: You may feel like you’re being left out of the equation, Pisces. Perhaps you feel like the oddball, the fifth wheel who simply doesn’t have a place. Don’t worry. Just because you feel that way today doesn’t mean it’s your destiny. If you don’t like your course, change your position. If you don’t like the people you’re with, move in a different social circle.

Aries: Take your creativity to a new level, Aries. There are many ways to express yourself creatively, so pick one and follow through. You may have a desire to be on stage, and you want to share your dreams and inner passion with the world. Taurus: Your feelings may deceive you, Taurus, so be careful of getting too wrapped up in your own drama. Perhaps you feel you’re getting pushed and pulled in uncomfortable directions. You might tolerate this tension for a while without expressing your feelings about it. This is a dangerous policy. Gemini: In some ways, you may feel like a lost soul who isn’t quite in touch with your dreams, Gemini. Although you feel energetic and boisterous, you might also get the sense that your energy is misdirected and you’re being led in the wrong direction. The key for you now is to lead yourself. Cancer: The best way to create harmony among others is to first establish harmony in yourself, Cancer. Don’t expect others to take care of you and attend to all your desires. At the same time, it isn’t your responsibility to dote on others. The boundaries may get ambiguous at times, but do your best to maintain a healthy separation. Leo: You might feel as if your powerful emotions are getting in the way of your dreams, Leo. Or perhaps you’re finding that you’re so wrapped up in a particular vision of the future that you’re getting lost in your own brain. You’re losing touch with the present simply because you’re so focused on a nebulous idea that doesn’t even exist yet. Virgo: Perhaps you’re stuck in a mindset you can’t seem to escape, Virgo. Be careful about taking action based on ideas rooted more in past fantasy than present reality. Your emotions could be playing tricks on you. You could be attached to a dream that has more to do with feeding your ego than fulfilling your destiny. Libra: When you talk, you want other people to listen, Libra. More than likely, your thoughts will drift toward humanitarian ideas and philosophies. You’re eager to share your ideas with others, and you may have a utopian

Bipartisan group calls on House leadership to not 72% of small tie aid to Ukraine to COVID-19-related funding businesses to Rep. Pelosi met with Ukrainian president increase prices due to Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday after inflation, survey finds telling reporters last week she supported authorizing By BETHANY BLANKLEY

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – As inflation surpasses 40-year highs, 72% of small businesses surveyed are increasing prices to keep their doors open, according to the latest Small Business Optimism Index. It’s the greatest percentage ever recorded in the survey’s history, which the National Federation of Independent Business’s (NFIB) has conducted every year since 1973. Slightly more than one-third surveyed, 35%, said they’ve reported lower profits due to increased costs of materials; 40% said supply chain disruptions have significantly impacted their business. “Thirty-one percent of owners reported that inflation was the single most important problem in their business, up five points from February and the highest reading since the first quarter of 1981,” the report states. “Inflation has now replaced ‘labor quality’ as the number one problem.” NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said of the findings, “With inflation, an ongoing staffing shortage, and supply chain disruptions, small business owners remain pessimistic about their future business conditions.” Small businesses increasing prices the most were in wholesale (84% higher), construction (83% higher), agriculture (78% higher), and retail sales (77% higher). Seasonally adjusted, a net 50% of small business owners said they were increasing prices. According to the survey, less than half of small business owners surveyed, 49%, said they expect better business conditions over the next six months, the lowest level recorded in the survey’s history. In February 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over the previous 12 months, non-seasonally adjusted inflation was 1.4%. By March 2022, inflation reached a 40year high of 8.5%, the largest 12month increase since the period ending December 1981, BLS reported. As prices soar, real average hourly earnings decreased by 2.4% from March 2021 to March 2022, BLS reported. In his message to Congress in his 2023 proposed budget, President Joe Biden takes credit

Slightly more than one-third surveyed, 35%, said they’ve reported lower profits due to increased costs of materials. for creating 6.5 million new jobs by the end of 2021, “the most our nation has ever recorded in a single year.” He argues, “Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7%, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years.” By February 2022, the unemployment rate had fallen from 6.4% when he took office to 3.8%, “the fastest decline in recorded history,” he said. “We are bringing everyone along, and leaving no one behind; child poverty is projected to reach the lowest level ever recorded, while longterm unemployment, youth unemployment, and Black and Hispanic unemployment have all dropped at record rates,” he said. “Though family budgets are still tight, millions more Americans are earning paychecks today – and families have more money in their pockets than they did a year ago. This progress was no accident. It was a direct result of the new economic vision for America I ran on – to build our economy from the bottom up and the middle out.” NFIB concludes that the Federal Reserve “will combat inflation by raising interest rates, probably sharply but they are a bit late in getting started. This will slow spending in the economy (historically a ‘recession’) to reduce the pressure on prices.” It projects that unemployment will increase, stating this is “uncomfortable for politicians and also the Federal Reserve, which has ‘full employment’ as one of its two policy goals.” It concludes, “Small business owners see all this coming. Their expectations for sales growth and business conditions later this year are in the tank. In the meantime, there are still opportunities to make a buck, if supply problems can be overcome.”

(The Center Square) – A bipartisan group of U.S. military veterans in Congress has called on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to not tie additional aid to Ukraine to COVID-19-relief funding. Rep. Pelosi met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday after telling reporters last week she supported authorizing funding for both in one bill. President Joe Biden asked Congress to authorize an additional $33 billion in funding for Ukraine in a supplemental bill, which also includes another $10 billion in additional COVID-19 relief money. If those in Congress opposed either funding, the other would be held up. The bipartisan group says it isn’t “in the best interests of U.S. national security to link further foreign and military aid to Ukraine to unrelated COVID-19 supplemental funding legislation.” The letter was signed by U.S. Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Jake Ellzey, R-Texas, Jimmy Panetta, D-California, and Kaialiʻi Kahele, DHawaii. “Ukrainians on the front lines of the war against Russia are counting on expedient, reliable assistance from the U.S.,” they wrote. “Indeed, timely delivery of weapons and supplies has been essential for Ukrainian success thus far in the war. Attaching unrelated COVID-19 legislation – legislation that is currently tied up in a debate about related public health policies – adds uncertainty and precious time to the process of passing this crucial aid. Those debates should happen on their own merits, not with Ukraine’s

(The Center Square) – An additional $495.3 million has been transferred from the state’s general fund to support Texas’ border security efforts through Operation Lone Star. The funding transfer was approved by Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Speaker Dade Phelan, Senate Finance Committee Chair Joan Huffman, and House Appropriations Committee Chair Dr. Greg Bonnen. It was done in response to requests made by the heads of several state agencies due to a funding lapse between fiscal years 2020-2021 appropriations and fiscal year 2022 appropriations. The state agencies requesting the funding transfer include the departments of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Public Safety (DPS), Health and Human Services

sovereignty and tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian lives hanging in the balance.” They also argue the administration should significantly “ramp up the size and scope of U.S. assistance to Ukraine,” but in a comprehensive package, not piecemeal bills every month. Comprehensive aid would include “military supplies, economic assistance, and traditional foreign aid,” they argue, “intended to demonstrate our sustained commitment to Ukraine, rather than funding assistance in a piecemeal approach every several weeks.” The additional coronavirus relief funding was necessary, President Biden said, “to avoid needless deaths in the United States and around the world,” saying it was “much needed, life-saving COVID funding.” Rep. Pelosi told reporters Thursday she supported funding for both in one bill. “I’m all for that, I think it’s very important,” CBS News reported. “We have emergencies here. We need to have the COVID money, and we need – time is of the essence because we need the Ukraine money. We need the COVID money. So I would hope that we can do that. That’s – this is called legislation and we’re legislating and we’ll have to come to terms on how we do that.” The package includes $20 billion in military assistance, $8.5 billion in economic assistance, and $3 billion in humanitarian aid.

It’s in addition to billions Congress authorized last month. On March 11, the president approved a $13.6 billion aid package to Ukraine to send weapons and U.S. troops to Europe. On March 16, the White House announced an additional $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine. On Feb. 23, Russia invaded Ukraine and has continued to advance further into the country. It recently announced its plan to use Moldova as a launching pad for further attacks. With concerns about Russia’s plans for other non-NATO countries formerly part of the USSR, Georgia President Salome Zourabichvili met with Rep. Pelosi in Washington, D.C., last week. The House also passed the Georgia Support Act on Wednesday. The bipartisan bill filed by Reps. Gerry Connolly, D-VA, and Adam Kinzinger, R-IL, recognizes Georgia’s commitment to democratic values and affirms America’s opposition to Russian aggression. On Sunday, President Zelensky said Rep. Pelosi’s visit was “a powerful signal of support from the people of the United States,” the Irish Times reported. Rep. Pelosi said she and others were visiting him to thank him for Ukraine’s fight for freedom, saying, “You’re fight is a fight for everyone. Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done.”

In a letter to the department heads, the governor and other state leaders wrote, “These transfers are meant to support the deployment of the National Guard with $465.3 million and to support border operations in other state agencies with $30 million. We understand the Fiscal Years 2020-2021 appropriations would otherwise lapse and be unavailable to your agencies and that the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations have been fully funded with other sources.” In a statement, Gov.

Abbott launched the operation after a surge in illegal border crossings as a result of President Biden’s immigration policies. “While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows,” Gov. Abbott said. “Texas is responding with the most robust and comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen.” As of April 29, the state has received $67,700 in donations to transport illegal immigrants from Texas to Washington, D.C.
