if what you say about inflation was true, polling before Roe would have been very different.
you don’t think government spending made it worse? increased supply doesn’t decrease price?

actually, Biden answered my question yesterday, his plan to print and spend $600 billion on wind turbines, is called the “Inflation Reduction Act”, so prices will revert back to ore inflation levels in no time.
Their willingness to avoid answering questions and changing the subject, and pretend that we don’t known hayes doing it, is something. They can’t admit the right could have a single valid point on anything, ever.

Don’t tell me corporations have no choice but to raise prices.
Corporate profits are at a 70-year high.
Stock buybacks are expected to reach $1,000,000,000,000 this year.
Corporations are doing just fine. Regular people are not.

wholesale inflation was up 11% for june over prior year. lots of companies don’t have profit margins nearly high enough to absorb that.
So as usual, you’re wrong, companies have no choice. Doesn’t mean some arent gouging. but costs of labor and raw goods are way up. that’s going to lead to higher prices in the real world.
also, the feds printed a lot of checks and handed them out to people. That obviously was a catalyst in consumer spending.
if your opposed to corporate profits pete, you should
be angry that both trump and biden mailed big fat checks to lots of people who weren’t impacted one cent by covid.

$18,000,000,000
That’s the total profits Exxon Mobil raked in, in just one quarter this year.
The fossil fuel industry doesn’t need another subsidy.
Working families do.

working families don’t need subsidies. they need less intrusion, which is nowhere near the same thing as a subsidy.
