Does anyone else feel like politicians on both sides are no longer doing what's best for the American people and instead just lining their own pockets?
Politicians in either party don't get a hoot about inflation they are passing this bill loaded with 'Pork' thinking their voters won't notice higher inflation....

Yep except for the Republicans grandstanding who complain about pork or spending until they need it. Senators Cruz and Paul anyone?
Inflation only hurts the little people, & the Dems only care about the little people on election day. All the rest of the days the little people are just Democrat door mats.

Inflation hurts creditors the most, because they get paid back in worthless funny money. The creditors are not "little people," but big banks and institutions.
The way this is being handled it's sounds like the 'Grand Pa' scam where the con artist calls in a frantic manner gives a sob story about an urgent need for money. Sense of urgency is a tactic used in sales or by con artists to close the deal. They use or put an artificial clock in their pitch to pressure people to make an on the spot decision without thinking. Junkies do the samething-give a sob story involving an emergency time sensitive situation for money and/or favors.
This current budget bill battle should be used as an example of how to spot a scam with one of the first signs being a contrived sense of urgency. The second an attempt to guilt or shame the individual by saying even the smallest disagreement means they against everything and one.
Gross domestic product is like 23 trillion. No need to worry folks.
Debt to GDP is the highest since we fought a world war.
We have debt to GDP at the highest levels and we're not even fighting a WW. Just imagine what happens when we face the next "crisis". Let that sink in.
Our debt to GDP is forecast to hit 200% in the next 30 years.

See my previous criticisms of Senators Cruz and Paul about disaster relief when the disaster isn't in their states. When it is they are the first in line and all of a sudden it isn't "pork"... That they also get paid throughout the government shutdowns and not backpaid.
Look at all politician askance, even the ones you like.
