There’s not much they can do over the next couple of years to alleviate angry voters’ stress over prices

Still, having come to power promising to restore affordability, the new crop of Democrats are soon to discover that there is not much they can do over the next couple of years to alleviate angry voters’ stress over pricey gas and groceries, exorbitant mortgages and unaffordable healthcare.

Democrats would do well to recall that the affordability strains that helped deliver them to power are not dissimilar to those that delivered the presidency to Trump two years ago. And they could again quickly become their enemy.

    So it is important to manage the amount of money in the money supply.

    So we can’t just create an infinite amount of money? We actually have to manage it in a way that prevents inflation?
