Oh boy, they are getting desperate now. The Democrats have a new talking point and it is a doozy.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers went on CNN to claim that 1/6 caused inflation.
Summers said, “We should focus on what’s important, not raising input prices for American producers, so they’re less competitive, which is what much of those tariffs do. Instead, we should be focusing on things that allow the leakage of key technologies to China and the like. We should pass at long last some kind of legislation, ideally, on a bipartisan basis that would raise the vastly excessive Trump tax cuts, join the world in taxing corporations, take down prescription drug prices. All of that would operate to reduce inflation. There are things we can do.”
Summers added, “If I can step out of my area for one second. I think the banana Republicans who are saying that what happened on January 6 was nothing or OK are undermining the basic credibility of our country’s institutions. That, in turn, feeds through for inflation because if you can’t trust the country’s government, why should you trust its money? So, I think it’s terribly important that we take the temperature down in Washington. That we recognize behavior that’s just out of bounds of reasonable and decency, we give the Fed the room it needs. We bring down the budget deficit. We take down prices directly through prescription drugs. This is a challenge that we can meet. If we’re prepared to be serious about taking it on.”
Something did happen to this country in January of 2021 that caused inflation and his name is Joe Biden.
They are really trying to make a play to influence the midterms and it is going up in smoke.
Joe has done such a terrible job that even AOC won’t commit to supporting him.
Joe Biden is such an embarrassment, AOC won’t even commit to backing him if he runs again in 2024.

Oh and speaking of Biden, he’s trying a new term to see if this one gains traction.
NOW – Biden: “This is the MAGA gang… they have a fundamentally different view of the role of government and who should pay what.” pic.twitter.com/S0uBRdFFYL
