Little control in the Senate where Manchin and Sinema behave like Republicans half the time.
False. Manchin and Sinema will not spend $6 trillion unbacked on the imbecilic "Buncha Boondoggle Bullshit" but still give the (D)imbos the majority in the Senate, meaning the (D)imbos appoint the majority of the finance committee. Second, Manchin and Sinema vote with Sloppy Joe, Dementia Boy, the vast majority of the time. (D)ementia Boy's claims to the contrary are - what a shock!! - a lie.
While Manchin and Sinema have indeed been more likely than other Democrats in either the Senate or House to cross party lines, it’s not true they vote more often with Republicans than with fellow Democrats. And they haven't done so in Biden's presidency. So far, they’ve aligned with Biden 100% of the time.
According to CQ Roll Call, Manchin voted against his party’s majority 38.5% of the time last year, while Sinema did so for 33.1% of the votes. Democratic Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama, who lost his reelection race in November to Republican Tommy Tuberville, was third at 32.2%.
President Joe Biden is stretching the facts when he suggests that two moderate Senate Democrats might be why his legislative agenda isn’t quickly getting done on Capitol Hill

Third, as a matter of basic civics, all spending bills originate in the House. I presume you are aware the (D)imbos hold a majority of the House.
Not sure what could be done to "fix" inflation at the fiscal level. You cannot un-spend the spending signed into law by both Trump and Biden amid the pandemic.
False. Trump's spending came at a time of tremendous economic downturn and though patently unbacked and thereby inflationary, the depressed consumer demand meant his spending in 2020 caused insignificant inflation. Trump's CARES Act (**** these fake names) as of March 27, 2020 cost $2.1 trillion while the GDP was in the midst of falling by 6% in the first quarter and 35% in the 2nd quarter. Government spending while the economy is tanking does not cause inflation. Look at the numbers for crying out loud:
Meanwhile, Biden's boondoggle passed on March 11, 2021 so you can stop blaming Trump for that. I know, I know, "Blame the Orange Man" is a reflex, but get over it.
When Dementia Boy spent $1.9 trillion unbacked, GDP growth was already at 5% and doing well. Dumping $1.9 trillion into that economy caused inflation.
Raising taxes is one of the tools government has for fighting inflation, by shrinking disposable incomes, but it's not politically popular.
Jeez, raising taxes is ONE option, the worst. Better options:
- Not spending trillions of unbacked currency during a time of economic growth.
- Not sabotaging the supply chain with idiotic and worthless goddamn regulations and mandates.
- Not attacking the key to our entire economy, energy, and falsely driving up energy costs by 27%.
If the Fed begins to tighten monetary policy as aggressively as they're indicating, inflation is going to be a lot lower next year, though 2022 is still going to be rough as supply and labor disruptions persist.
The Fed tightens money supply to try and counter the idiotic dumping of trillions of unbacked dollars into an economy doing fine already, thank you, Donald. Stop dumping trillions of dollars into an economy that damn well does not need it. Also, supply and labor disruptions can be addressed by ending these idiotic, worthless, pointless, asinine mandates and also by cutting the slew of regulations lefties love. I swear, lefties jerk off to the advance sheets for the Code of Federal Regulations.
Finally, for the love of God, the popular lefty claim - "Both Trump and Biden are responsible for inflation" - pretends we don't have the goddamn inflation numbers from March, 2019 to present.
