Biden’s Latest Inflation Narrative: ‘Corporate Price Gouging’

“Corporate price gouging” is the Biden administration’s latest narrative to displace the responsibility of soaring costs.

President Joe Biden, who falsely claimed twice in two weeks that inflation was at nine percent when he assumed office, is transitioning to another tack, albeit a strategy he has used before.

“President Biden’s top economic priorities are fighting inflation and lowering costs for the American people,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates claimed. “Standing up to corporate price gouging is at the core of that fight.”

Milton Friedman - "Inflation is made by Government and no one else. Of course no Government likes to accept responsibilities. . . responsibility for its own defects, so Governments of course blame greedy business men, grasping trade unionists, and spend-thrift consumers. No doubt business men are greedy; no doubt trade unionists are grasping; and everyone knows that housewives are spendthrifts; but neither the greedy business men nor the grasping trade unionists nor the spendthrift housewives produce inflation. The reason they do not produce inflation is because none of them has access to a printing press on which he can turn out those lovely, or some people think not so lovely, pieces of paper with which you purchase goods and services.

While i am convinced there are some corps taking advantage of the situation..but it’s only a small percent compared to actual inflation.

There is only one cause for inflation: Government spending money they do not have.

When you print trillions of paper dollars, each one is worth less and less.

Biden’s reckless spending sprees have consequences.

Inflation is the net result...............

[EvilCapitalist]

But my sister(A leftist) believes it’s corporate greed that causes inflation.

[Red Badger]

Obviously she’s never owned a business, balanced a budget or paid an employee.......................

I have a side gig in a major retail establishment. Yes. There is price gouging going on. But hey, as long as the shareholders are making bank, that’s what is important.

I told a Lefty that special interests, bad policies, and mandates are among the causes of the biggest problems we face and he got mad.

It’s never the government’s fault. Biden defecates from both ends.
