Helping the Local Media Inform … and Use Good Grammar.

When you raise taxes on citizens in pursuit of a protectionist trade policy like the last administration did, not only do you erode market efficiency, slow the drive toward future prosperity, and create more cronyism, you see higher gas prices because of the weak dollar that ensues.

When you not only maintain that policy like the current administration has, but also open up the fiscal spigots, borrow more and more in a quest for wasteful social spending, and actively seek to curtail domestic energy production, you get higher gas prices.

When elements of both political parties support freedom-crushing shutdowns in an effort to mitigate a virus with 99+% survival rate, you get the all-around inflation we’re seeing today.

There was room in this report by News 4 San Antonio for a summary of the above if they were really interested in thoroughly informing the public … especially in the 2nd- and 3rd-to-last paragraphs. Someone get them a proofreader to help with their grammar, please 🤦‍♂️
