Government policies fail and create problems in the real world every day. But most Americans are so busy in their daily lives and so detached from the political system that they do not notice\u2026or at least they don\u2019t know enough to point to the root of the problem.<\/p>\n

Such is not the case with the current skyrocketing inflation, which has gotten everyone\u2019s attention. Gas is topping<\/a> $7 per gallon in some regions. Beef prices<\/a> are up 20 percent since last year. Meanwhile, rent jumped<\/a> an average of 14 percent across the nation. Americans of all political persuasions rank<\/a> inflation as the most pressing problem they face, and many are demanding answers for why they are suddenly unable to afford rent or buy meat. Rightfully so.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s a shortage of basic necessities in the country, there\u2019s also a shortage of actual leaders in DC who will take responsibility for the failure of their ideas. Instead, we see a bunch of elderly representatives essentially trying to say that their dog ate their homework. While Democrats have tried to blame Putin, \u201cultra-MAGA\u201d supporters, and other random strawmen for the inflation<\/a>, it seems most are beginning to coalesce around the weakest scapegoat of all: corporate greed.<\/p>\n
