According to President Joe Biden and everyone at CNN, the economy is “strong as hell,” so we’re not sure what Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali is trying to say here. It’s the typical resort of someone who’s given up and knows they have no solution — so what’s your solution? Ali would love for someone to ask the Republicans what their plan is to reduce inflation from its 40-year high. Well?
What is the GOP plan to combat inflation and help the US economy? I'd love for people to ask and answer this.

He asked. For starters, undo every single thing Biden has done. That’s when the inflation started.

Get rid of Democrats who deficit-dumped $2 Trillion into an already overheated economy, put in place vaccine mandate non-sense, caused a shipping crisis & cut domestic oil production. https://t.co/orUg79sTsn

First reduce spending… Erich caused most of this mess.
Everything starts with that. https://t.co/OPtLzmc3G3

Wajahat's right that Republicans aren't articulating a plan to reverse inflation. They should offer a 3-point plan:
1) Rein in the Fed (made easier if they focus on their corruption scandals), strengthening the $
2) Liberate U.S. energy
3) Stop funding most of the federal govt https://t.co/doRqG0vPQo

1) Roll back all of the inflationary spending under the misnamed infrastructure and inflation reduction bills.
2) Go back to pre-2021 energy production policies

Stop printing and spending money

Zero republican votes for the 1.9T in unnecessary stimulus spending in March of 2021. That was the plan. But President Sharp Spoon persisted….

One is to open up the country to energy production again. That alone will do wonders.

Pretty easy. Stop spending money and drill baby drill https://t.co/jbzUdcI4Sz

Not sure but let's eliminate 80% of the federal government altogether and see if that helps https://t.co/8ooWs9dzme

Stop giving away taxpayer money to Ukraine, stop having fake hearings, stop paying for student debt and not buying votes from colleges who keep overcharging for tuition. https://t.co/DUixFl9EYP

What did they say Joe Biden’s college loan cancellation was going to cost? $400 billion?
Stopping the massive govt spending is a good start. https://t.co/wt0nwZxIuX

For starters, stop endlessly printing money that's then burned on trillion dollar spending bills, you useless hack. Oh wait, Republicans don't control the money printing. Huh. https://t.co/BkzuyR9OCh
— Mr. Fabulist+ (@MisterFabulist) October 18, 2022
Simple
Cut out of control government spending, stop the inflation creation act, cut the funding for the 87,000 additional IRS agents. Cut taxes for the middle class, cut the corporate tax rate to promote business growth. https://t.co/YidC9kPfZQ— Bob Lemoine (@bvlemoine) October 18, 2022
This is Wajahat knowing the Democrats are going to get annihilated in the midterms so he's laying the groundwork to blame the current economic conditions on Republicans this January. https://t.co/PubNiLfyWU

A whole lot of Democrats seem to think the Republicans have no plan. So maybe Karine Jean-Pierre could break out the puppets and crayons and explain what the current administration in charge of the country is doing. The one Ali voted for. We’d love for Ali to ask Biden his plan to combat inflation … the Inflation Reduction Act? Is that it?
We just wanted to get this one in for including “Christofascists.” That’s who follows Ali.
There is no plan from christo-fascists, just pointing fingers at people who actually do their best to help. https://t.co/VNzXA0tYlW

Yeah, they’re doing their best to help … and their best is a miserable failure.
