Democrat's solution to Inflation? More finger pointing!

Can blaming corporate greed save Democrats on inflation?

The Biden White House knows that the economy will be the primary matter on the ballot in midterm elections this year; that’s partly why President Joe Biden has dedicated the month of June to voicing the ways the White House is trying to soften the blow of rising prices, while giving the Federal Reserve cover to raise interest rates.

But Democrats also know that they have a major messaging problem. CNN and NBC News both reported in the last month that Biden is frustrated he can’t break through the bad economic vibes to convince the American people that, objectively, the economy is doing pretty well. Faced with competing priorities by different audiences in his party, in Congress, and among the public, the White House is struggling to find an enemy to pin that fault on without admitting that, just maybe, the president’s crowning economic accomplishment was partially responsible for worsening inflation.

Still, Democrats in Congress and the White House may not be going after two perfect villains hard enough: large corporations and billionaires, which progressive think tanks, economists, and activist groups say bear some of the responsibility for rising costs of living.

Here is the funny thing about this story. There are over 20 paragraphs in this story and not any real evidence that what they say is true. There are a couple of lines about how "some oil companies" are seeing higher profits, but that means very little based on the fact that "some" could be one or two and higher profits might mean marginal small profits that are just higher than previous small profits.

Moreover if you look at the Markets you see that Exxon, Chevron, and most every other major company associated with oil and gas are seeing their stock shares drop, just like everyone else. There may be one or two smaller oil and gas companies doing okay, but overall that industry shows no signs that their corporate outlooks are rising due to increased profits from "price gouging". 

But this is the problem Democrats always have. They do okay in elections as the out of power side. They can point fingers at the Republicans in charge and that sticks. But as soon as they take over,  then this sort of stuff happens (nearly every time) and then they don't know what to do.  This is a Party that is infatuated with messaging. So much so, that they are constanting looking to censor anyone who opposes their messaging. Every time they lose a national election or have a bad mid-term they blame messaging. It was messaging that cost John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and every other failed Democrat.

If they were half as interested in running the country as they are with messaging then maybe they could get something accomplished.
