YOUR LETTERS: INFLATION! It’s all over the news. But don’t be hoodwinked.

While the prices of everyday goods are going up, we’ve heard a dizzying array of explanations for inflation.

Republicans are blaming Biden’s policies for putting too much money into the hands of working families. 

Corporate leaders are blaming workers that want better pay and working conditions.

Economists blame consumers’ expectation of inflation as a self-fulfilling prophecy altering consumer attitudes and behavior.

Even Biden administration officials have blamed supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.

All of them are purposefully missing the truth: Corporate America has seized on the fears of inflation to jack up prices on you and make a ton more money.

The right-wing media’s echo chamber is strong and has been built up for decades.
