This makes a…
The right tries to blame post-Covid inflation on welfare and deficit policies
Our inflation post-Covid, the right tries to blame welfare and deficit policy. Just like in the 1970s. The Wall Street Journal says that the national economists will now have to reevaluate their view of the national economy after Covid. Just like after the financial crisis of 2008.
