Don’t forget as well that inflation is also driven by higher energy cost. To beat inflation we need: 1) cut govt spending; 2) cut taxes; 3) extract and deliver oil & gas. Every other economic issue is downstream from these, including ag (since cheap ag requires cheap energy). Since none of these things will be done in the next 3 years, the pain will be immense and widespread. Get prepared.
Politicians need to stop pretending to be know-it-alls, and especially know-it-all "economists".
"ask a group of 100 economists a question, you'll get 100 different opinions". Do the same with politicians, you'll get even more "opinions" based on what those politicians feel will help get them re-elected. Here's a novel idea: Let the GD markets work without the damned interference . . . the general population might actually be better off.
Two things. Inflation is no way at 8.5%. Take a look at that list and know that the way the Feds cheat the numbers is the way they figure rent and the cost of housing. It is dishonest. Real inflation is more like 20%.
Second, yes the media is nothing but a propaganda organ for the Left. Still, they literally don't know ANYTHING. Most of their idiotic reporting is because of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect. They are college educated dunces with absolutely no experience or knowledge of the real world. Most have probably never encountered a believing Christian. Or been friends with someone who owns a business and has to make payroll every month. They assume production but know nothing about how it is achieved.
