Sounding the alarm, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says inflation 'poses a clear and present danger to our economy

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia warned in a statement on Wednesday that soaring inflation poses a threat to the American economy.

"For more than a year, leaders in Washington have ignored the serious concerns raised by myself and others about the rising cost of inflation," Manchin said in a statement. "While Washington seems to now understand this reality, it is time for us to work together to get unnecessary spending under control, produce more energy at home and take more active and serious steps to address this record inflation that now poses a clear and present danger to our economy. No matter what spending aspirations some in Congress may have, it is clear to anyone who visits a grocery store or a gas station that we cannot add any more fuel to this inflation fire."

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a new consumer price index report on Wednesday which showed that inflation has continued to skyrocket.

"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.3 percent in June on a seasonally adjusted basis after rising 1.0 percent in May," the report noted. "Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 9.1 percent before seasonal adjustment."

"The all items index increased 9.1 percent for the 12 months ending June, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending November 1981," according to the BLS.

"Brutal inflation report shows a devastating increase of 9.1.% year-over-year. Bidenflation is wreaking havoc on workers, families & small businesses - a consequence of anti-American energy policy, exorbitant borrowing & printing of money & counterproductive federal regulations," DeSantis tweeted...................

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Senators like Manchin voted for all of the destructive spending, and yet they want to shift the blame.  It's only a matter of time before he caves on further deficit spending to stimulate the economy.

Yep! He (Manchin) will always get in line when the time comes. All this current noise is for the folks back home in their now very red state.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
