Democrats responsible for current inflation

 American Action News:

Fox Business host Charles Payne said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris was “deflecting” voters’ attention away from the failure of the Biden administration’s application of “modern monetary theory” by calling for price controls.

Harris called for a federal ban on “price-gouging” by grocery stores to address high prices during a Friday speech on economic policy in North Carolina. Payne accused Harris and President Joe Biden of causing inflation by infusing “money that was not earned” into the economy.

“The Biden-Harris modern monetary theory, you know, the $1.9 trillion the economy didn’t need, another trillion dollars for the Inflation Reduction Act, and more money here and more money there, don’t pay this, don’t pay that,” Payne told Fox News host Sandra Smith. “They created a groundswell of inflation that, to be quite frank, I don’t think anyone thought could ever come back, 42-year high inflation, and by the way we’ve only compounded it. The CPI number last week, I heard people saying it was good, no, as long as these numbers keep going up, it’s not good because it adds to it and adds to it. The pain and misery of almost everybody in this country, outside of the most fortunate, it’s pretty clear.”

...

Prices shot up by over 20% since Biden and Harris took office in January 2021, with inflation reaching a recent high of 9.1% in June 2022.

“So, with this device you get two things: One, you get not only to trying to deflect your involvement, their fingerprints, Biden-Harris’ fingerprints, they own inflation, some of this belongs to the Fed but the majority of it belongs to them,” Payne continued. “Money that was poured into this economy that was not earned, but was spent.”
...

Democrats should not be allowed to deflect from their responsibility for inflation.  They should, in fact, be held to account.  What they are doing now is engaging in the politics of fraud.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
