Imagine that you are a typical GOP candidate, screaming about inflation. As you see it, Biden and the Democrats are responsible for it, because they spent way too much money. Get rid of them, and the problem will go away.
A reporter interviewing you suggests that, if (as you say) the problem is excessive demand fueled primarily by the stimulus checks and overpayments to state and local governments, the logical solutions would be to increase taxes, thereby soaking up the excess savings, and to demand that blue and red states alike put the overpayments into rainy day funds instead of tax cuts. How do you respond to that?
Do I hear silence? The usual Republican solution–tax cuts–will only make inflation worse, but don’t expect anyone to admit that.
