The left’s rhetorical response to the rising political threat of inflation continues to evolve. First they said the problem didn’t exist, and anyone who claimed otherwise was acting in bad faith or spouting Republican propaganda. Then, they said inflation is real — but President Biden’s Build Back Better plan would fix it.Now, they tell us, inflation might be happening — but it’s the fault of greedy corporations! And those companies must be punished.
The two things that drive me bonkers about Elizabeth Warren is her shopworn rhetoric that 1) everybody's a victim and 2) people have no agency. We're all just helpless proles, bullied by those greedy corporations, and government intervention (and dependency!) is the only solution.
