I'm hearing that inflation is only 2.4% and this is a blip that subsides by September.

You thing a dem politician which is owned the Teacher unions wants economics 101 taught in an American class room by a free market capitalist? You think they want an honest discussion of wage and price controls, rent control, the minimum wage and the impact of importing millions of legal and illegal aliens with little job skills on the wages of American citizens? They love to teach "global warming caused my America" to the kids. Just don't do it supported by any math, science or economics. Just use slogans and treat any counter evidence using math, science and economics as a conspiracy theory. That's the new Scientific Method.
