‘IT’S NOT OUR MONEY, IT’S THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’S MONEY’: Manchin Blasts Biden, Congress on Inflation

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.10.22

Remember when Joe Manchin wouldn’t get on board with ‘Build Back’ because of the trillion dollar price tag? And he stressed that inflation was very real? Fast forward to today, with the Consumer Price Index finding inflation across the economy is up 7.5%. 

Now, the Senator from West Virginia; the “trouble maker”; the Democrat “traitor” has released a statement on inflation. The gist —I told you so.

“For months, I have been ringing the alarm bell about inflation. Once again, we are witnessing that the threat of inflation is real. There is not a corner of this nation where hard-working families are able to escape the noticeable impact of this ‘inflation tax.’ Inflation taxes are draining the hard-earned wages of every American, and it’s causing real and severe economic pain that can no longer be ignored.”

“It’s beyond time for the Federal Reserve to tackle this issue head on, and Congress and the Administration must proceed with caution before adding more fuel to an economy already on fire,” Manchin continued. “As inflation and our $30 trillion in national debt continue a historic climb, only in Washington, DC do people seem to think that spending trillions more of taxpayers’ money will cure our problems, let alone inflation.”

“We must get serious about the finances of our country. It’s time we start acting like stewards of our economy and the money the American people entrust their government with. Now, more than ever, we must remember it is not our money, it’s the American people’s money. It is not our economy, it’s their economy. We all have a responsibly to do all that is possible to roll back inflation and manage our debts because the longer we or the Federal Reserve waits to act, the more economic pain will be caused,” Manchin concluded.
