One man had the balls to stand up. Virtually everyone else in Washington either folded or fed off this unprecedented power grab.
I called it on March 27, 2020. The popular bill to spend $2 trillion dollars and shut down our economy was “the biggest mistake in history.” That bill and subsequent bills that spent another $4 trillion are the reasons we now have shortages and inflation.

The Biden Administration's decision to nationalize the supply and distribution of monoclonal antibodies is a potential death sentence for patients who desperately need them. This is how government medicine works in a nutshell: They decide if you live or die.
Without a shred of clinical data to support its decision, the Biden Administration has revoked the emergency use authorization for lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatments.

Inflation is when the government prints money it doesn’t have to pay for spending it can’t afford. By printing money is doesn’t have, government steals your money by making it worth less. So, yes, Joe Biden stole more of your family’s income to finance more of his spending.
