Breitbart ^ | 03/17/2022 | Trent Baker

In an interview on CNBC’s “The Exchange,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) blamed the coronavirus pandemic, the oil industry, and the meat industry for the record-high inflation in the United States.

Warren argued COVID primarily affected the supply chain and shifted the demand curve but also accused companies of increasing costs on top of the rising costs in an effort to generate additional profit.

If they’re actually trying to generate additional profit, it’s likely because they know that harder times are coming.

Just my opinion on Ms. 1/1024-Indian’s rant

How can big oil and big meat cause inflation when energy prices and food prices aren’t entered into the calculation of inflation?

Increasing costs over rising costs reduces profit, Dim Lizzy!

Just don't blame Joe Biden and his (anti)energy policies. He's the most perfect man God has ever made according to Linda Graham.

I don't suppose he's ever met Adam or Jesus.

Typical Democrat - it’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault.

Just as Biden is blaming high gas prices on Putin.

Thank goodness no politician ever profiteered from their office or circumstances. They're all poor and live in humble abodes.

What about the “record profits” the gov is getting from the taxes on all of these things?

Once the Gov rolls back the tax rates and “record profits” they rake in. Maybe at that point they can start to investigate the manufacturers?

I had this conversation with a Lieberal the other day.

If inflation is caused by greed then Biden is still incompetent. Because Greed does not come and go. The oil companies and ranchers were just as greedy 2 years ago as they are now. In fact, they were just as greedy when Obama was president. So why didn’t gasoline and food prices double in a year back then?

Even if all the inflation is caused by greed. Biden is incompetent because this didn’t happen under Trump, Obama, G.W. Bush, Clinton, G.H.W. Bush or Reagan. The last time this happened was under Carter who was incompetent.

“Global Warming” fraudsters are funding Putin’s war on Ukraine, higher fuel prices, and inflation.
