Crime today is about half of what it was at its peak in the 90s
I suppose you’re claiming that the sole cause of inflation is the rescue plan act.
"why are prices so high"
Companies are on track to do a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks this year - twice as much as five years prior.
Remember that the people who set prices are swimming in record profits and using the money to enrich themselves
And blat about food prices but no one ever seems to mention that four companies control 85% of all meat Americans eat.
And yes their profits are all doing quite well right now.
(P.S. 10 poultry execs are currently under indictment for alleged price-fixing)
We are 40 years into a consistent and undeniable pattern of deficits growing under GOP leadership and shrinking under Democratic leadership.

So...
You're saying illegal crossings aren't way up under Biden...
You're saying crime isn't an issue, because it's not at an all-time high.
You're saying federal spending had absolutely nothing to do with inflation. By the way, corporate profits were high under Trump too, but without the inflation.
"We are 40 years into a consistent and undeniable pattern of deficits growing under GOP leadership and shrinking under Democratic leadership."
Biden's deficits are lower than Trumps? Obama's were lower than Bush's?
Here's a chart showing deficits by year...your statement doesn't hold up.
Americans aren't buying your nonsense anymore Pete.
