“You can’t make it up: Hours after this terrible inflation report, the White House is hosting an ‘inflation reduction’ celebration,” McConnell tweeted. “Democrats have spent our economy into disaster and now they’re partying while families pay. They could not look more out of touch if they tried.”

It’s like watching a football game where one team are corrupt criminals and the other (GOP) a bunch of Benny Hill characters running around in circles.

The democrats and Biden have given the gop all the ammo they need to be the majority for the next 100 years.

Where is the offense? Why are dems on offense? Put them on defense, and make them answer for the bad economy.

Wonder how elitist Democrat lawyers would respond to a 0.02% raise in their salary? Typical for democrats to not understand or pretend to understand SCOPE.

Some were speculating that the Biden administration took a peek ahead of time at today’s inflation numbers, and that was why they planned their Inflation Reduction Act party for today. So either they didn’t know the numbers, or they didn’t gauge the reaction to them properly.
