Putting the onus on the people while the government continues with these ridiculous trillion dollar packages that no one wants... It's the South Park episode all over again, no we're not going to play with squirrels, and no the inflation doesn't just involve Chinese crap. Food and heating prices are inflated as well (banning drilling and pipe lines doesn't help gas prices either) - edit - > it would be nice if the US government didn't spend trillions I agree. Military and otherwise. I'm against endless wars and funneling money through defense contractors as well as universal programs and funneling money through administrators.

Just because you personally (or even everyone you personally know) don't want something doesn't mean that no one wants it. It's popular for a reason.

  That's nowhere near what the point of my comment was. People wouldn't have to be living like cavemen to combat inflation if politicians weren't spending trillions. And no it's not popular, it's a puff piece from the WSJ that tries to put the onus on citizens not the politicians.

    It pays really well to shift blame, I wonder is someone somewhere has an excel spreadsheet with the ROI for propaganda expenses. Like Greta pointing the finger to western countries while ignoring the biggest polluters and the countries that mostly contribute to plastic in the oceans.

You're right, it would be nice if the US government didn't spend trillions on the military.
