You can make your justifications and critiques all you want but the fact remains those actions were causes for the inflation… yes even Trump actions. When you release trillions of dollars into an economy inflation will result. Supply chain was largely overseas not exactly in our control. Another big cause… you’re to blinded by partisan hate
Let's go back to politics 101 which you obviously never attended: All appropriations come from the House. That's it. The President doesn't write the spending bills, the Senate doesn't write the spending bills, only the House does. The second half of Trump's term he spent with Democrat leadership in the House.
Inflation is caused from price increases. When fuel doubles in price, employers have to compete with government for workers, prices go up. The definition of inflation is paying more money for the same products and services.
You can't stop government spending because the country needs things, but you can stop the pork like tearing down bridges and rebuilding them because you think the bridge was racist, or wasting money on charging stations all across the country that just about nobody will ever use.
$13.6 billion for aid to Ukraine
The package delivers nearly $14 billion in emergency funding to help address the emerging humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and shore up the country’s defense against Russia, including $4 billion for humanitarian aid, $3.5 billion for sending new military equipment and $3 billion for deploying U.S. troops to the region.
$4 billion for rural development programs
After 2021’s b
ipartisan infrastructure bill provided a $65 billion investment in rural infrastructure to increase broadband access, the latest spending measure invests an additional $4 billion for rural development programs.
Of that amount, $550 million will go towards the expansion of broadband service and $450 million for the ReConnect program, which provides loans and grants to cover the cost of broadband construction and improvement. The White House estimates that more than 30 million Americans live in areas that lack broadband infrastructure to provide minimally acceptable speeds.
$24.6 billion for student financial assistance
Biden called for sweeping higher education reforms during his State of the Union address on March 1, including a $2,000 Pell Grant expansion and additional HBCU and community college funding. The spending bill partly accomplishes these goals, increasing the maximum Pell Grant by $400—the largest increase in the maximum award in more than a decade—and authorizing $363 million in HBCU funding. In total, the bill provides $24.6 billion for federal student aid programs, an increase of $35 million from the previous year.
Climate change investments
The bill provides record funding for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at $3.2 billion, $338 million more than the previous year—but less than what House Democrats had proposed.
The funding will support the production of clean and affordable energy sources. An additional $78.3 million will fund the Department of Agriculture’s efforts to address the impacts of climate change in farming and rural communities, including research on clean energy technologies and greenhouse gas reductions. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate will also receive $7.6 billion—an increase of $313.4 million compared to last year—to enable better scientific research on a variety of topics, including Earth’s changing climate.
It includes nearly $14 billion for aid to Ukraine.

And this is just some of the wasteful spending by the commies. So if you're going to blame spending, put the blame where it rightfully belongs.
