How Government Spending Causes Inflation

Basic economics teaches that the government printing press is not only the cause, but the very definition of inflation.

Only the end of government printing would stop inflation.

They even passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which promises to reduce inflation by providing, among other items, even more government spending.

The federal government spends large dollar amounts without "Raising taxes," thus creating a disconnect between the spending and the harm in the minds of the voters.

Most conservatives have done a poor job of connecting government spending with increased cost of living.

We must do better than saying only that the government "Spends too much." We cannot be content to say only that inflation is bad and a Democrat is President so "Vote Republican." We must remind the voters that if the government does what the leftists propose in any situation the voters will pay more solely because of that spending.

The only way to prevent "Rent control" and other counterproductive crackdowns is for us to point out the connection between government spending and inflation at every opportunity.
