Literally everyone with an econ 101 understanding predicted this inflation in early 2020 when the politicians and the Fed put it into motion with their asinine policies.
Both parties are responsible. Do not let them lie to you.

Wild to think of the level of govt overreach allowing states to collect your baby's blood & DNA at birth, store in a creepy database (for decades), and use/sell it without parental consent. Did you know this could be happening in your state?!
