Another Expert Tells Us Why Inflation Is So Bad.

I never thought I would see the day when Robert Reich would become a spokesperson for the Republican Party, but it’s happening right now. What I’m referring to is the almost daily rants we are getting from Reich about how the average American is getting screwed over by a high rate of inflation which is making it impossible for Mister and Missus America from buying what they must have to put on the dinner table for themselves and the kids.

The GOP has made inflation the number issue for November because everyone pulls up at the pump all the time and nobody can remember when was the last time they paid three bucks or more for a gallon of gas.

I wouldn’t really care what Reich says about inflation or anything else except when he talks or puts something on his blog, he gets a lot of press. And the fact that Reich is a lifelong Democrat, and a diehard liberal, makes what he says about inflation even more attractive and relevant for the GOP.

How does Reich explain why inflation, as he puts it, is out of control? He says it’s because corporations are using the surge in demand following the Pandemic to pass on price increases for supplies and components to consumers rather than absorbing some of the increases and thus keeping inflation in line.
