Tell me a story, Uncle Joe
By Terry Paulding
I know much has already been written about the “State of the Union” speech. I must admit, I heard only one pair of sentences live, “on accident,” as the kids say. It made me want to hold my hands over my ears and shout “lalalalalala.” Those sentences—Uncle Joe actually said, “One way to stop inflation is by driving down wages and making Americans poorer. I think I have a better idea to fight inflation: Lower your costs, not your wages.”
First, explain to me, please, Uncle Joe, how lowering wages would have cut inflation. Explain to me how, if someone must commute to his job, but can barely pay for gas with the higher price at the pump, and is barely making enough now to deal with the higher grocery prices to feed his family—how would cutting his wages have stopped inflation? By letting his family starve? I guess that’s one solution. I mean, homeless people here in California get paid pretty well, after all!
Uncle Joe, please, tell me how you propose we can lower costs to end inflation. Seems like your own actions set us on a vicious cycle of escalating those costs! We no longer have energy independence—remember that from a mere 14 months ago?
