Ex-Trump Economist Stephen Moore: We're Looking at 4 to 5 Percent Inflation Rate

Former Trump Economist Stephen Moore on Sunday said the U.S. economy is looking at four to five percent inflation, "and that's way above where the Fed wants us to be."
"They have a two to two-and-half percent, you know, inflation target,” he told John A. Catsimatidis on his radio show, The Cats Roundtable - WABC 770 AM.
The effects of inflation are everywhere, he says.
“You’ll see this in the supply chain. I mean I just bought some airline tickets this weekend for this summer… airline tickets are up 20%. You know food prices are up 10, 15, 20 percent and gas prices have increased a dollar a gallon in the last year,” he added.
Moore believes President Joe Biden’s bloated budget is causing the inflation and says he is the “six trillion-dollar man.”
“The $6 million man and now we've got Joe Biden, the $6 trillion man. This is an astonishingly and shameful budget. Actually, it would bankrupt the country if we were to spend $6 trillion.”
