Media outlets like Vox said “Biden’s American Rescue Plan worsened inflation” and even the Washington Post editorial board noted the “$1.9 trillion rescue package in March 2021 was too large.”
“Higher wages”? The problem is that wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. And this is how much American workers have lost:

Joe Biden “singled out” Patty for her work on the so-called “American Rescue Plan” and Patty will be held to account for her Price Hikes by Washingtonians this November.
