During the four years of the Trump Team, 2016-2020, the US saw the greatest wingding of government spending in history. The federal budget went from $3.8 trillion in outlays during Obama’s last year, to $7.2 trillion in Trump’s last year. The nation had never seen anything like it... with trillions out the door and down the drains in stimmies, PPP loans, and the like. 

And then, as if that weren’t enough, the Biden Team came into office and added another $1.2 trillion of boondoggles and giveaways. 

What happens when you add that kind of money to the economy? Milton Friedman, recently channeled by Elon Musk, explained: 

Chad Champion adds empirical evidence: 

Trump planted wicked seed. Biden (and Harris) fertilized it and reaped the bitter harvest. Price increases showed up the year after Trump left office, with inflation ramping up to a 7% annual rate in the first quarter. In June, 2022, inflation hit a 9% rate. And while the rate of inflation has come down since then, the effect of sustained inflation at relatively high rates has raised prices across the board.
