The US economy looks like it is about a month away  from a full recovery from the VirusCasedemic's impact on the GDP. And economist Stephen Moore warns of inflation proving to be a *storm cloud *on an otherwise sunny Summer outlook.

"*We have some storm clouds that are forming, and a big one is this inflation threat*," Moore said at the weekend. "We have to take it seriously.

*"The Fed and Biden have to be very alert to: We don't want to see this get out of control."*

The Biden administration and the Fed to "do something about about impending inflation" Mr. Moore says.

*"We're seeing big increases in gasoline prices; we're seeing big increases in food prices, meat prices, produce prices; lumber prices are rising; used car prices are rising; airline tickets are rising in price*s.

*"If we have a continuation of the inflation we've seen over the last month, we're talking about 9% or 10% inflation. Now, I hope that doesn't happen, but it's about time the Fed and the Biden administration do something about it.*"

here is a sunny side of the economic revival street, which is being driven by the COVID-19 vaccines helping to settle the unrest of the global coronavirus chaos.

*"It's one of these good news, bad news stories*," Mr. Moore said. *"The good news is that the market is booming. We're getting jobs back at a record pace. Businesses are reopening. I think it's a great story; I love it.*

*"I think it's largely attributable to the vaccine, and that COVID is pretty much behind us."*

The US GDP is on pace to return to pre-pandemic Trump administration marks roughly by the end of June.

"*The economy by next month – by my projections and others, as well  will be 100% recovered, which is pretty amazing in terms of our GDP," *he concluded*. "We will be producing as much goods and services starting in June as we were back in January of 2020, and that's a remarkable performance. Both Trump and Biden deserve credit for that."*
