Hard to say, with a $1.2T and $3.5T bills on the docket.

But, if they can move next to a $10T bill, perhaps he has a shot.

5.4% year over year using their rigged math. And only going to get worse. Just watch in the Spring of 2022 when retailers reset their store shelves. Higher prices, smaller sizes, and some products disappear due to supply problems.

If the Dems don’t cheat, yes.

Odds?

Could the 19 GOP Senators who voted for the 1.2 Trillion Bill cost the GOP
the election? Me thinks so.

They already won. They will tell us a week after election day. Everybody loves, Biden. Even me. CNN told me that.

Joe never had the mid-term elections. But mail in ballots will save him.

What inflation? Why, ALL the news channels are telling me that this “inflation” talk is just a conspiracy theory and a big misinformation myth!!!

(Never mind that the grocery bill has nearly doubled in one year’s time...)

It’s up to China and Soros.

Throw in Nike and a whole bunch of other corporations and politicians who are on the take.

Grocery prices are getting pretty high. Was at the store and saw that items like Cheese its were up almost 25%. Everything is creeping up in price.
