Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he did not accept the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress spending as a reason for inflation.
Anchor Chuck Todd said, “Do you accept the criticism the American Rescue Plan in 2021 contributed to inflation issue we’re dealing with right now.”
Sanders said, “No, I don’t. Inflation, I’m sure you know, Chuck is an international problem. In Germany, it is 10%. U.K., it is 10%. Canada it is 7% inflation globally is caused by the pandemic and the break in supply chains. It is caused by, in my view, the war in Ukraine, obviously. And it is also caused by incredible corporate greed. I hope everybody understands that when you go to the gas tank you fill up your car today, the oil companies are making huge profits. The food companies are making huge profits. Prescription drugs are high, pharmaceutical industry is making huge profits. We’ve got to deal with that issue, and Republicans won’t.”

He’s worse than a retard. He’s a malignant liar.
So, if spending didn’t get us here, will it get us out of here?
Interesting way to say he doesn’t deal with facts or reality, but we already knew that.
Name just one successful communist economist.
Bernie you old yenta, you don’t have the economic knowledge or expertise of a gnat. You do know how to milk your socialist pose for enough money to buy multiple homes though. And you wife can ably destroy institutes of higher learning.
Fingers in ears and screaming “la la la can’t hear you”
Indeed...”incredible corporate greed...windfall profits.”
The commies never give it up, do they?
Funny how you NEVER hear about “incredible GOVERNMENT greed” which is at all-time highs at every level
Bernie Sanders(I) - Independent (from reality)
Maybe printing trillions in vapor money is the culprit.
LOL. None of those other countries he mentions spend gazillions of dollars on government socialist waste.
Oh wait...
Leftists took the same approach globally. They shutdown business and the wasted tax dollars on the not-at-risk, healthy people that lost their jobs and businesses. Strictly speaking, inflation is a productivity problem. What more unproductive than capable people getting paid for not working? What destroys supply chains? It’s leftist policies. Leftist policies are a global problem and an American problem.
Now that's a non sequitur!
C'mon, Bernie! Every country pegs it's currency more or less to the US Dollar for reasons of global trade. Therefore, American inflationary spending inevitably leads to global inflation. A - B - C you old commie fart.
Take more money from mill-yunn-ayes and bill-yunn-ayes!
Bernie, and the Squad, have voted for every Ukraine war funding bill.
What a bullshyte progressive/socialist.
He gets away with it in the eyes of the hard Left is because he also is protected by US state-run media.
So where did it come from stupid?
Typical commie/socialist scumbag’s response.
So when the U.S. prints more fiat currency to buy votes with, worldwide inflation soars.
