Murray has cost you more than 30 cents a text with the “inflation reduction act” haha. Inflation has gone up since its passage, and usually government spending increases inflation rather than the opposite. That’s like if I passed a “household savings bill” that involved me spending 10,000$ and adding to my debt. Very wise marketing by politicians to spin another spending bill as a way to lower inflation…. Gotta love politicians all they do is spend other peoples money to appease the people who donated to their campaign and to guarantee themselves a nice “advisor” or “lobbyist” job once they do eventually lose election.

Before the Reddit crowd roasts me for not towing the dem line. I also believe the GOP does the same exact stuff and I’m not endorsing a certain candidate or party over the other. Both just play the blame game and spend more than the budget and try to appease special interest groups. I’m just trying to point out that while the text scam is ridiculous and borderline harassment we have other problems as well that are less directly felt that in fact cost us lots of money that we don’t notice directly (ie poor energy policy that makes us reliant on the wills of dictatorships overseas while we could become energy independent with both fossil fuel drilling and green energy).
