Democrats Lack Message on Inflation

Punchbowl News: “The American people are sour on the state of the economy, and poll after poll after poll shows that rising inflation is driving that pessimism. This is bad news for President Joe Biden, and even worse for Senate Democrats.”

“So we spoke to more than a dozen Senate Democrats, including their most vulnerable 2022 incumbents, about how Congress should respond to the inflation crisis. What’s most surprising to us is their responses were kind of all over the place. They don’t have a unified message. Compare that to the GOP message (accurate or not) – the government is causing inflation by spending too much money – which is easily understood and digested.”

The Wall Street Journal reports the average U.S. household is spending an additional $276 a month because of inflation that is rising at its fastest rate in 40 years.
