Joe Manchin tells the truth about inflation
By Chris Talgo
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is a rare breed of politician in today’s day and age. Not only does he routinely challenge the Democratic Party orthodoxy on a variety of issues; but when push comes to shove, he has proved willing to oppose legislation he deems misguided, such as President Biden’s signature Build Back Better bill.
On top of that, Manchin is unafraid to call the president to task when he feels that Biden is being less than forthright with the American people.
On April 12, Manchin displayed his nonconformist side yet again, when he released an eviscerating statement on the out-of-control inflation that is wreaking havoc upon the American economy.
Manchin began by stating the obvious, “Let me be clear, inflation is a tax and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control. Hard-earned wages and financial savings are disappearing faster every month as prices continue to climb, while the pain and frustration of spending more on everyday items lingers over us all, especially among those who can afford it the least.”
