Why is that talking point, I mean statistic, not adjusted for the pandemic? I think I know why. Also deficit spending and govt spending continued to be high or increasing during 2022/2023 when inflation was taking off because the post covid economy was heating up, resulting in stubborn inflation that hurt the most vulnerable folks.
