At no point did I dispute the reality of inflation. My point is that the Republican Party has not been better than the Democratic Party on deficit spending. In many ways, the Republicans have been worse.
The only time a Republican cares about the deficit or debt is when the Democrats are in charge. When Republicans are in charge, they spend as bad as anybody else... it might as well be Bernie in the White House as Trump.
Nikki Haley is the only candidate honest enough to call out Trump for running up trillions of dollars in debt during his presidency.

And before the Trump apologists blame it all on COVID, here's Obama v. Trump in just the first two years of their respective presidencies... before COVID affected Trump's numbers.

PS. Inflation had already started it's climb while Trump was still President. He literally printed trillions of dollars in free money and sent checks to millions of Americans while badgering the Fed to keep interest rates at record lows.
The "chicken was cooked," as economists say, inflation was coming regardless of who won the presidency. You can't spend like that with record low interest for years and not have an economic pendulum swing. Everybody with an understanding of economics saw it coming.
Certainly Biden's policies and "Inflation Reduction Act" didn't help, but we were going to face this fight regardless of what happened in the election.
And, in case you've forgotten, or Tucker or Alex Jones didn't tell you, it's Trump's pick running the Fed.
