Republicans have been making their “plan” to fight inflation clear — extending tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy. 

Unfortunately for American families, if Republicans get their way, their plan would actually increase inflation, according to economists.

The Washington Post: “‘The corporate tax cuts the Republicans are pushing would add to inflation, add to the deficit, and do little or nothing for economic growth,’ said Furman, now a professor at Harvard. ‘They were a budget gimmick to start with.

Collectively, these three measures would add roughly $600 billion to the federal deficit over 10 years if extended, according to nonpartisan estimates, outstripping the cost of Biden’s student debt relief program (the cost of which many Republicans have criticized) and increasing federal spending at a time of surging inflation.”

That could mean an end to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, everything else mentioned above — and potentially more.”

NBC News: “The Republican Study Committee, a large group of House conservatives, proposed a budget in June that would incrementally raise the retirement age to collect Social Security, based on changing life spans, and lower benefits…”
