“So the jury is decidedly out on how much federal spending contributed to inflation — if at all.”

Government spending, government debt, government money printing = inflation

CNN is off the rails. Government Spending is the sole reason for Inflation.

But the jury’s verdict is in regarding whether waste,abuse and fraud is a cause of the budget deficit and the size of the national debt.

CNN does not know if government spending contributed to price inflation.

Now that Trump is cutting government spending and cutting government employees, let’s wait and see if CNN then reports that lack of government spending contributes to price deflation.

He’s either an economic illiterate or a paid liar. Of course, he may be both.

Lets see:

Biden and Obama hand out money = No Inflation, so says the left wing media.
Trump and Musk hand out money = “World's Record Highest Inflation Ever” will be the Left media's byline.

CNN? Sorry. Listening to CNN is equivalent to taking childcare advice from John Wayne Gacy.

“Jury Is Out”

Just a thought experiment: suppose the government printed out $1 billion for each and every one of us, making us all billionaires. Inflation? Yes or no? Economics is hard, for economists.

Government impeding our output and access to inexpensive energy (e.g., shutting down the Keystone pipeline, impeding fracking and other energy resources, etc).

This raises to “The View” level of ignorance, propaganda or USAID paid influence.
