We had a world shattering (closing) virus and yet we pumped so much money into our economy that we skyrocketed everything (except holding cash). It's time to pay the piper.

192 Republicans vote against sending $28 million to a failing government agency (FDA), then redirect the money to help starving babies on WIC.

Also, here’s an article referring specifically to savings increase during the pandemic, which was an increase of only $1,300.

I’ll assume you watched some hack on MSNBC who wouldn’t know left from right when it comes to finances, rattle off those numbers you listed as “fact”.
