Do Republicans want Americans to suffer from inflation?

First and foremost, inflation is a problem globally. Inflation is not a uniquely American problem. However, Americans do rely on their government to try and tackle it.

The Democrats are in power, they want to help the American people, and they have every incentive to try everything they can to fight inflation. But what about Republicans? What is their incentive? It should be to help the American people, to help their constituents. But their actions are proving otherwise because inflation will help them win the midterms. "It's all Biden's fault!"
Seriously? Democrats created global inflation? Do tell. How did they manage that? No, it's a global surge in demand as we all came out of pandemic isolation, not to mention the war. But Republicans will continue spreading disinformation and their constituents will fall for it. Republicans are far more interested in winning elections than helping your pocketbook.

Biden and the Democrats are trying in ways large and small. But every step of the way the Republicans are there to block them, stop them or make inflation worse.

Example #1: Biden nominated 5 new nominees for the Federal Reserve. It’s their job to tackle inflation. What did the Republicans do? They boycotted the vote making it impossible to get them in place.
Example #2: Biden put together the Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force which largely is the reason why Christmas didn’t go as badly as people were expecting. But then you get Texas governor Republican Greg Abbott changing how they do inspections at the border that has completely snarled all the supply trucks coming in from Mexico.
Example #3: the House put together a focused bill to lower the cost of insulin. Keep in mind that we’ll over 9 million Americans rely on insulin to manage their diabetes. Nearly every Republican voted against it.

So many more examples like the Republicans voting against removing the gas tax... Moving on.

Do you know what the GOP plan is to tackle inflation? Nothing. They have no plan. Just like their healthcare plan (nonexistent). Democrats are the only ones trying to help regular Americans. The Republican constituents should be outraged but they’re not because right-wing media keeps EVERYONE focused on fake outrages (“grooming bill”, CRT, voter fraud, etc). Right-wing propagandists do this every time. Spread lies and fear so no one notices that Republicans are raising taxes and trying to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Republicans do not care about regular Americans.

Since Obama was in office the Republicans have done little for the American ppl. The promise alot and deliver close to nothing. It got worse under Trump.
Republicans will say look at Trumps tax cut...in reality it cut 1 trillion in taxes on rich and corporations and shifted it to the middle class.

@PTCdresser57 only a democrat would say something as idiotic as that. under trump, we had record employment, especially for minorities... and millions were removed from welfare, the border was secure, and we were energy independent.

You are indeed a Republican — facts are staring you in your face and you still can’t see them.

@Randi1125 facts such as record inflation, more reliance on foreign oil, and a wide open southern border under biden... those kinds of facts?

@boudinMan

You just don't get it. The GOP is sabotaging progress. Any crisis is an opportunity for the GOP to criticize and blame Democrats. Remember when Biden first took office! What was it that Mitch McConnell said on the news that the GOP’s main goal was to have Biden and his administration fail?! That’s their goal? It’s not to help the American people? And now Republicans are blocking everything. They have no plan of their own. Just block. Don’t forget they publicly made it their mission for President Obama to fail also. He didn’t!! But when any of our presidents fail..we all fail.
