Spending money you do not have, via printing it, is what causes inflation. Spending multiple trillions of dollars that you do not have causes massive inflation, like what we are seeing. If the Republicans do no spend more than what the government takes in, then they are already handling inflation better than the Democratic Party!

Deficit spending was passed even when Trump and the GOP had control in his first year in office. You need to look at the actual facts both sides have done it for years. The federal budget hasn't been balanced except for a few years in 1998 under Clinton, and in 2001 under Bush.

Yes but any fool was able to look at her high negatives and see that Hillary Clinton is not a sure thing against anyone.

This is a sure thing. Sorry.

Biden and the Democrats took deficit spending to an unprecedented level, which is why you're seeing inflation approach 10%.

The Republicans and Trump had nothing to do with their decision to pass this unprecedented deficit spending. It was done via reconciliation and not a single Republican voted for it.

Six months until we end the madness and failures of the Biden regime and the Democrat Party. Counting down the days.
You and everyone you know had better start calling your local and state representatives NOW, to demand election reform to prevent the potential thievery that went on in 2020.
Even the leftists who acknowledge some cheating occurred always say "but it wasn't enough to make a difference".
True or not, they are talking about the presidential race, where local and state elections can be won or lost with a much smaller percentage of fraud.

That alone will help, but not be enough, as you need to volunteer to be a poll worker/observer.

Lastly, you cannot count on a good turnout in your particular area, thus we must all do what the Democrats do, and go door to door to make sure your neighbors can get to the polls (i.e. elderly, infirmed, those afraid to go alone, etc.).

Inflation is not connected to budgets passed it's connected to federal reserve, and supply chain shortages. Most of the covid relief passed was under Trump it was only continued under Biden. Two democrats in the senate Sinema and Manchin blocked those big spending bills they didn't pass.
