I've asked the same question five or six times. No one seems to be able to answer it. I'm just worried that the answer is not one my constituents are going to want to hear. Right now, I have 30-year-olds living in their parents' basements because housing inflation has priced them out of the market. I have single moms in my neighbourhoods who can't afford a healthy basket of groceries to feed their kids. I have seniors whose savings are being vaporized by inflation. Now we have the prospect that deficits are going to drive up interest rates.
You can forgive me if my focus today is not on all the wonderful things the government is spending money on but is instead on where the money comes from. So far, all the money seems to be coming out of the pockets of working-class folks who are paying record inflation.
