As Senator Stabenow said: "There was $7 trillion in new debt just from the four years of Trump and 2.6 million jobs lost during the Trump years. But when Senator McConnell and Republican leaders come to this podium, all they do is complain that we're not cleaning up their mess fast enough."

“yes inflation is high”.

thanks for the scoop.

the dems also pumped trillions into the economy, that’s a big contributor to inflation, and republicans aren’t innocent in that either! republicans also spent way too much. but biden took it to another level.

“suspending the gas tax”

almost meaningless in the face of this inflation.

BBB would have made it worse. you don’t solve inflation with massive new government spending.

pete, nothing is free. if you don’t pay for it, someone else is.
