Democrats Keep Threatening Crippling Tax Hikes

As reported by The Hill, Democrats are still hoping to revive the President’s $5 trillion tax-and-spend agenda (like we’ve been warning you for months).

Democrats are doubling down on the inflationary economic policies that have resulted in 40-year high price hikes.

It’s no wonder why even economists who have worked with President Biden have started distancing themselves from his agenda and sounding alarm bells about rising prices and the looming recession.

It’s worth remembering:

Bottom Line: If Democrats want to get serious about addressing rising prices, they’ll stop threatening to make it worse with crippling tax hikes, more runaway spending, and a regulatory environment that will send energy costs higher.
