BIDEN OFFICIAL WHO SAID INFLATION ISSUES ARE ‘HIGH CLASS PROBLEMS’ ONCE RIPPED TRUMP ADMIN FOR PRICE INCREASES

SEN. RON JOHNSON: Democrats are just living in a fantasy world. They deny reality, and the reality is high inflation primarily affects retirees and the working poor or any poor person. The rich, you know, people can handle inflation. They’ll figure out the right places to put their money. Their assets will inflate with the rest of inflation.
