And it goes right back to the American Rescue act, the American Rescue Plan, which was anything but a rescue. It actually sent us spiraling and put our economy on life support. Obama and Obama's treasury secretary warned Ruben Gallego and the Democrats do not sign this piece of legislation into law or it will send inflation skyrocketing up. That's exactly what they did. They did not heed the warning. They signed it into law. And that's why the price of everything has gone up. The price of eggs up over 100%. (39:58–40:11)
