If we want to get inflation under control, just do the opposite of every instinct of every Republican.

Tariffs: Inflationary by definition.

Immigration enforcement: drives up the cost of labor

$5,000 per person in cash: Obviously this will cause inflation

Other tax cuts: Inflationary, since they increase demand for goods.

Deficit spending: Also inflationary.

Wars in the middle east: Obviously, this is inflation driven by higher energy costs.
