Voters may dislike inflation, but Democrats don't
By Laura McLaughlin
Twenty percent of all dollars were created in 2020, and Democrats want to spend trillions more. A recent poll found that one third of Americans see inflation and household bills as their top concern, ahead of COVID. Yet Democrats push for more spending and dismiss the issue of inflation as a Republican talking point. It doesn't seem as if this strategy will pay off, but perhaps the government has so little incentive to control inflation that even a poll like that doesn't faze politicians.
When inflation rises, the government may collect more tax revenue, and Americans who derive their income from the government get a raise and are thus protected from the worst of inflation. It's a win-win situation — as long as you're lucky enough to be in the government or paid by it. Inflation isn't all bad, really; it just depends on who you are.
