Congressional Democrats have aimed to kill inflation by flooding the economy with taxpayer-funded subsidies, but one Democrat senator, Sen. Joe Manchin, disagrees.
As prices have increased 7.5 percent and weekly wages have decreased 3.1 percent, the reigning party in Washington, DC, believes spending taxpayer money will eliminate inflation pressures that have been fueled by Democrat policies. Congressional Democrats told Punchbowl News that handouts are the best way forward.
Democrats also told the publication they would be in favor of subsidizing prescription drugs, shipping companies, rent, and families who have children. Democrats also proposed amnesty and cutting the federal gas tax to tackle inflation.
“Want to know three things we can do? Making child care more accessible, more affordable. Addressing the housing through programs that already exist, [the] HOME, CDBG and others. And do a comprehensive immigration bill. That would help with inflation,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) told Punchbowl.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) expressed her desire to subsidize the supply chain. “Well, the focus that we must have now is on everything from supply chains. Sen. [John] Thune and I have put out a bill on finally taking on the shipping industry.”
