“The cost of living increased at the steepest rate in more than three decades this past year. Consumer prices jumped another 0.9% in October—an astounding 11.3% rate compounded annually. That's a 6.2% increase compared to last October.
“The causes are rooted in supply chain bottlenecks caused by continued COVID vaccine mandates, union resistance to expediting port operations, and tightening environmental regulations on the trucking industry. Labor market problems—driven largely by government policies such as generous COVID relief benefits, sporadic school closures, and now vaccine mandates—also contribute to rising costs. Adding to the pressure, the gusher of federal spending is spurring demand while other government policies continue to suppress supply—including the supply of affordable energy.
“Given the prolific government spending underway and the trillions of additional spending proposed, Americans have good reason to worry about inflation from ‘too many dollars chasing too few goods.'
“Inflation is a hidden tax that robs Americans of productivity gains, makes real wages lower than they otherwise would have been, and distorts price signals vital to ensuring workers, investments, technology, and natural resources are used in a manner most responsive to the real needs of the market.
“America's central bank contributes to the steep rise in prices by using trillions of dollars of newly created fiat currency to finance federal spending by purchasing government bonds in addition to injecting enormous sums into the financial markets by purchasing other assets.
“The enormous expansions of government spending proposed by the left will come at a cost. Americans will pay either through direct taxation, higher borrowing costs (as the government competes with businesses for available capital), or the hidden tax of inflation as the central bank purchases government debt. This inflation tax can be the most destructive and painful of all.”
Here’s Exactly How Biden Inflation is Robbing You
Will Trump Dump JD Vance?
ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
