Hirono on Inflation: Companies ‘Could Give Up’ Some ‘Unearned Profits’ to Help, GOP Hasn’t Done Anything

“Maybe Hunter can discount some of his paintings down to 400K.”

I heard he is making a How-To video to go with the crack pipes they are giving away.

Democrats control The House, The Senate, and the executive. Why shouldn't they be blamed? For everything?

As for Hirono.... I used to think Murray was the dumbest person in The Senate after Biden became VP. But Hirono has surpassed her!

The problem isn’t just that we’re ruled by an elite class, but a particularly stupid elite class.

How about politicians ‘give up’ some ‘insider trading profits’ to help?

‘Stupid’ is right.

She’s worse than that, though. It’s a willful kind of stupid.

AOC, who when asked how to pay for some program, replies “Just pay for it!” (although to be fair, that actually is about how DC works)

Blaming corporate profits is a normal lefty trick during times of inflation.

Of course companies that are losing money or breaking even are also raising prices!
