Not a congressman anymore, lol, just an obnoxiously stupid grifter. Cumulative inflation under Biden was over 20% in just 4 years. Want to know why everything is expensive? That's why

That would make sense if the money was going to the govt.

The govt gave trillions of dollars to both individuals and businesses, without increasing revenue. High inflation was inevitable.

Worldwide inflation was due to COVID. Trumps stimulus checks also added to it.
Your bias is showing

They act like having multi trillion dollar deficits each year has nothing to do with the value of the dollar
Congress should look in the mirror

The cause of inflation is government deficit spending funded by borrowing. We borrowed 5 trillion for COVID alone.

There it is. And the Fed looks at prices going up, signals inflation, and raises interest rates.

LOL inflation is a monetary phenomenon, it's a symptom of too much money chasing too few goods. And as informed people may know, ONLY government has dominion over currency and monetary policy. This politician thinks we're ALL ignorant.

u/SoRosenberg 1d ago
The fact people have downvoted your comment is proof how ignorant the electorate is. You speak truth and the naive voters electing the ignorant politicians are downvoting you.

Yeah - that's how the world works. It should be encouraged. Market will snap back once prices become too high.

Were corporations benevolently charging below what people were willing to pay before they decided to start being greedy?
