Sanders: $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill Won’t Add to Inflation Since Its Paid for ‘Significantly by Higher Taxes’
Breitbart ^ | July 14 2021 | IAN HANCHETT

The theory that dems don’t do numbers worth a darn gets another data point of support

Sanders is, in his own way, every bit as dumb as AOC. He's not as dumb as Kamala Harris, but then no one is.

Significantly !

And forcing up wages beyond the market's natural adjustment to this insane inflation caused by government programs especially stimulus, would just... force up inflation even more.

Sanders was a filthy bum sleeping on park benches after his commune kicked him out. The only people dumber than him and his wife Jane are the idiots who keep voting for him, constantly believing they’ll get more of everything for nothing.

He did the math. This is a good thing as far as he is concerned.
Also, he gets to raise taxes without having to vote on it.

No it is not that they don’t do numbers.

They do enslavement.

Not inflation, stagflation. Decreasing economic activity with higher taxes while flooding the economy with fake money equals stagflation. Bring back the Carter’s misery index.

Hes not dumb, hes disingenuous. He know inflation is rampant,that adding more debt wont fix it and taxing “corporations” wont bring in cash...it will bring more inflation as the corporations will simply raise costs on the services they provide and products they make to recoup the penalty for being successful.

Biden & Sanders:

Birds of feather:

NEITHER has ever held a real job and both have sucked off the public taxpayers for their entire lives.

It has been lucrative for each of them-—They each own multiple fancy properties & have wanted for nothing-—EXCEPT MORE POWER.

Both are liars of the first degree, also.

No, Sanders has an agenda and intellect

Biden lacks the intellect of Sanders and now suffers from being unable to recall instantaneously to boot

His supporters don’t think that they will get something for nothing. What they will get is something that others paid for. That is the economic lynch-pin of all commie crappola — tax at the point of a gun and give to your supporters. When the taxpayers object, fire the gun. In the long run it is cheaper to shoot, much less expensive than gulags.

$3.5 trillion is small change now.

(Sanders is living proof that a complete idiot can succeed in life.)
