Transportation Secretary Buttigieg explains how trillions in new spending will help halt inflation

Earlier today Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm found something to laugh about after being asked for her plan to bring down gas prices. Now it’s our turn to laugh at something a Biden Cabinet member says. Here’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explaining why the federal government printing a few trillion more dollars will help ease the burden of inflation on the average American:

“If we can act to reduce the cost that Americans face, the cost of childcare, the cost of schooling, the cost of access to pre-K, just literally putting more money in people’s pockets w/ things like the child tax credit … that’s something that can help”

Anybody buying that? Neither are we.

Everything the Democrats want will solve all of our problems, according to Democrats. https://t.co/MMldm16ppr

then why stop at $5 trillion? Make it $100 trillion. We will all be living in castles then right?

Stupidity is all one can say about Buttigieg's statement.
Borrowing more money and flooding it into the system:
1) makes every dollar worth less (causing inflation)
2) rapid increase in demand with all the dollars (causes inflation)
3) Short supply of products (causes inflation) https://t.co/T2TLRkiS8r

We can fix inflation with more inflation. Jesus, please stop using Orwell as an instruction manual. https://t.co/BYthcErfbb

Inflation being temporary is the new 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
