Well, your first hint is at the bottom of the article,
Justin Haskins is the editorial director of The Heartland Institute and the director of Heartland’s Stopping Socialism Project.
But the beginning of the article sounded some alarm bells,
Many analysts were predicting 8.5% growth, but a report from the Commerce Department estimated gross domestic product improved by just 6.5%, a 26% difference.
What kind of alternate universe do you guys live in when 6.5% growth rate is viewed as a negative? I mean, prior to Covid, Trump only dreamed of having that high of a GDP growth rate.
And inflation, you guys have just seized on that like you were clutching to your last strand of pearls. Sure, it pegged at 5.4%, but a huge part of that increase can be attributed to used car prices, hotel prices, and rental car prices. If you are not in the market for a used car it does not effect you. Same for the rentals and hotels. Meanwhile wage growth for the same period was 3.6%, biggest increase since Obama took office, go figure. And food prices only went up 2.4%. And here is the thing, if that government spending wasn't working we wouldn't be looking at this kind of inflation. A trained economist would know that, but the author of the OP is a propagandist. It is stunning how he makes the claim that government spending isn't stimulating the economy and then transitions to inflation, which is caused by an overstimulated economy. Comical really.
