On Friday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) argued that inflation is due to the pandemic and supply chain issues, “none of which the Republicans choose to do anything about except to blame Joe Biden.” And that companies “could give up some of their unearned profits to help the American people.”
Host Ana Cabrera asked, “Americans aren’t happy with the economy right now. I don’t need to tell you that. But they’re blaming Democrats. If things like inflation are still high come November, how do you argue to keep Democrats in the majority?”

Host Ana Cabrera asked, “Americans aren’t happy with the economy right now. I don’t need to tell you that. But they’re blaming Democrats. 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.

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!
