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— The Plumb Line (@ThePlumbLine50) November 5, 2021
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.
