Analysis by the European Central Bank shows that a considerable percentage of inflation can be attributed to corporate profits. In the food sector, higher costs were not just passed on to consumers, but used as a pretext for disproportionate price increases. #dkpol

Apparently "it's increasingly hard to claim that DOGE made any sizable dent in federal spending, which was its primary goal."
"The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..."
Such integrity!
