How stupid (or corrupted) one has to be to believe that "building and renovating 2 million homes" using taxpayers money or rather running an additional trillion dollars deficit is going to reduce inflation? 🙄🙄🙄

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today’s data shows inflation has fallen over 60% from its peak, but we have more to do to lower costs.

My plan would lower the cost of housing by building and renovating 2 million homes, and I’m calling on corporations with record profits to pass their savings to consumers.

Morgan Freeman is making a documentary about the 761st Tank Battalion! Also known as the ‘Black Panthers,’ these men were the 1st all-Black tank battalion of WWII! Their story is largely untold but their bravery represents the millions of Black service men who fought in the war!
