Now it's Republicans blaming American companies for inflation

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Facing a rising cost of living that threatens their chances to hold onto their majorities in Congress in November, Republican members of Congress and Trump officials testifying before their committees Thursday repeatedly made their longtime allies in industry the scapegoat. It was yet another indication of how much Trump’s populist politics have changed the party of business, and how deep a hole polls show Republicans are in right now on the economy.”

Republicans may no longer be the ‘party of business’ but they remain the party of lies.

The rising cost of living is the consequence of failed Republican policies and an incompetent, feckless Trump regime – made worse by Trump’s failed, illegal war of choice.

They dont even mention inflation in the article. Youre making shit up. Health costs are higher than they should be for a BUNCH of different reasons and people have the right to complain about it. The price of eggs and the price of medical costs are NOT even remotely in the same arena. We dont subsidize the egg industry.

A drug company can put whatever price they want on a drug and people will pay it if it will save their life. No one NEEDS eggs, so no one can overcharge for eggs. Egg prices cant be manipulated, but drug prices certainly can.

Indeed. Both parties have been awful for the country.

Yes, the GOP will blame corporations and the DNC will blame both the GOP and corporations as we have seen them blame them for years and years for other things.

Do you really believe that politicians will accept accountability for inflation that is 100% created by government that was created by both parties? But right now it is just more fashionable to blame everything on Orange man, even though the massive debt was crated well before he was even running for office.

As the lemmings say, "Praise be the state!" looking to the same people who are crashing the economy to "fix" things once it all collapses.

Human beings truly are stupid.
