Given that most of you reading this reside in the United States and buy various products and services on a daily basis, you didn’t really need Tuesday morning’s breaking news to tell you inflation is out of control. Americans are used to being ripped off at the pump and in grocery stores as well as on their electricity bills.
However, things could get worse. RedState previously reported that there are eye-watering increases in costs for middle-class families.
Seeing the latest inflation number clock in at 8.5 percent year-over-year overall (a number that is misleadingly low given what things are bought most often) is absolutely crushing, not just because of what it tells us about March of 2022, but because it shows the trend isn’t slowing down. You don’t have to be worried about things right now. Just wait for the summer months.
The White House is now going full Thelma & Louise and pedaling down the cliff, all this information being out there. Instead of trying to sympathize with Americans and inventing policies to lower cost, the administration accuses everyone of being Kremlin-agents.
Here was Jesse Lee, a senior economic advisor to Joe Biden, pushing the “Putin’s Price Hike” falsehood while insinuating that GOP Sen. Rick Scott is doing Russia’s bidding.

There’s a word for continuing to double down on a message that people clearly aren’t buying, and insanity is the name of the game for the Biden administration. Jen Psaki repeated this same statement just a few days before the horrendous inflation report was released. The White House is desperately trying to deflect the blame it so richly deserves in getting us to this point, and all they’ve got is shouting “Russia” over and over.
The reality is that while you could blame Russia for part of the most recent rise in gas prices, everything else listed above has been skyrocketing for well over a year, and gas was also on a steady climb prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Inflation was at 7 percent in December 2021. That’s a staggering number, but it is well above the normal rate. Russia didn’t do that.
For the White House to continue to push this “Putin’s Price Hike” garbage is just insulting to everyone’s intelligence at this point. After Joe Biden’s election, the current cycle of inflation began. The current cycle was accelerated by Joe Biden and his party passing the American Rescue Plan. It is a $2 trillion boondoggle which overheated our economy. Americans received a $1200 check. However, the increased inflation that has occurred since then has resulted in thousands of additional costs. Do you think this was an acceptable trade-off for the price?
This is the idiocy and economic policies of the Democrats on full display. And, as I stated, nobody is buying my excuses. Yet, here’s Ronald Klain pretending that Americans are just too stupid to see how great the economy actually is.

Honestly, I hope they keep this up because it’s going to lead to an absolute wipeout come November. I want Biden and his lackeys to keep their heads in the sand, thinking that if they just scream about Russia loud enough that people will suddenly believe they didn’t just pay $6 for a pound of ground beef. I’ll be here laughing as their political car goes over the cliff. Unlike Thelma and Louise, though, I don’t think the Biden administration will become icons for their self-immolation.
