Kamala Harris' brag about Biden's economy collides with 'highest increase on record' inflation news (and more)

Doug P. | 12:13 PM on August 12, 2021

We haven’t been seeing a whole lot of Kamala Harris lately while the Biden White House tries to shore up her approval rating, but her tweets continue. As usual, Harris would like everybody to believe that economic utopia has arrived:

Together, we’ve brought this economy back. We are building a foundation for an economy that brings everyone along, not just the top 1%.

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) August 12, 2021

To any degree the economy is coming back, it’s because government officials finally took their boots off the throats of businesses in many areas of the country. But so far the side-effect of Biden and the Democrats having control of DC is something Harris won’t mention:

Really ? Why is inflation going so high. Bad for low income people. Very Bad.

So, you are ignoring the elephant in the room: inflation

There’s a reason she’s ignoring it:

JUST IN – U.S. producer price inflation soars 7.8% annually in July, the highest increase on record.

#BREAKING: The July Producer Price Index rose 7.8% from last year, surging past expectations of 7.3%. It's the largest annual increase on record. This inflation isn't "transitory." W/ 23.2%/yr M2 growth since March 2020, more inflation is baked in the cake.https://t.co/n5Sep1dhoO
