Jim Jordan on Inflation: ‘Part of Me Says This Is Intentional' by Biden WH

2022-06-05

[Breitbart] Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday blasted President Joe Biden and his administration for having created the record-high inflation and gas prices across the United States.

Jordan told Fox Business Network’s "Varney & Company" that he was not as surprised as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was that inflation followed the "crazy" spending, paying people not to work and doing away with energy independence. He suggested it was "intentional" by the White House.

"As you know and your viewers know, inflation is the worst tax possible on American families," Jordan lamented. "So, this is real. I think there are like eight states where it’s already over $5 a gallon. Ohio is on the way there, unfortunately. And we shouldn’t be surprised. I heard when Janet Yellen said she was surprised about how the inflation — I mean, come on, you spend like crazy, you pay people not to work, and you drive up the cost of energy, and somehow you are surprised we’ve got inflation. I don’t think she’s that stupid. So, part of me says this is intentional, and we started to kind of hear that from Joe Biden. Well, this is a transition period we’ve got to go through. No, it isn’t."

"If we would do the right kind of energy policies like we had under President Trump, we wouldn’t have this ridiculous high price for a gallon of gasoline," he concluded.

#12 I suspect there are a large number of liberals pretending to be conservatives in the GOP primaries this summer and i hope the voters are able to spot them before they get into office.

#11 ...but to do so this time around, it will exceed the voting population by factors that can't hide the coup.

#10 I suspect it after the Shellacking they are projected to get in November.
I'm skeptical. Everyone thought Trump would win in 2020 but didn't anticipate widespread cheating. Even the Democrats had to stop the counting so they could bring in pallets of ballots once they realised the Dominion and mules weren't enough.

#9 First they have to get back into office in 2024

How is this a problem? Have elections magically unfixed themselves in the last 2 years?

#7 The part of you that doesn’t think it is intentional is lying to you.

#6 ^ Well. If "they" are GOPe or noobs who can be co-opted by GOPe, nothing changes at all.

#4 For years the democrats have stated the way to a green economy and stop climate change is $7 gas.
That’s the PLAN and they are sticking to it.
