JD Vance is an idiot.
“Some (corporations) are doing great jobs and some of them aren’t… What we are seeing consistently is energy prices are too high, food prices are too high, housing prices are too high.”
Yes. That’s the corporate greed part.
“The story there is Kamala Harris supported the ‘Inflation Explosion Act,’ and they’ve made it harder to produce American energy.”
What?
“When you do those two things, you’re necessarily going to have inflation.”

Vance ties EVERYTHING to “American energy” which is also raking in massive profits.
In fact, gasoline is up 46%. Even I can understand that isn’t inflation. That’s fucking over the consumer.
Energy companies PROFITS have grown 160%. Yeah, that’s WAY past inflation.
Vance is blaming the wrong people. Your costs are higher because corporations see you as a golden goose.
And Republicans want to keep squeezing you.
