The reason we had the inflation you describe was the massive free money train that crisscrossed the nation in 2020. People already got that money. For them to grouse that prices then went up *is* irrational - that is first week of Econ 1 stuff. You could argue that the rich got most of the money, there's probably something there, and the Dems should prepare to address it. But otherwise, voters just have to be told in a way they can understand without getting mad.

The inflation we experienced doesn't come close to fully explaining the inflation we've experienced. We're talking about less than a trillion among all the covid checks with a GDP of 23 trillion.
