#LyinTedCruz 1/10 Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, and MORE lies from LYIN Ted Cruz. As long as HE and other Republican politicians tell lies and KEEP blaming Biden for inflation, I will KEEP sharing the TRUTH to disprove their LIES.EVERY industrialized nation on this earth has high

2/10 inflation, even MORE than the 6% inflation rate in the U.S; as of March 23, 2023, the UK sits at 10.4%, Sweden 12%, Russia 11%, Norway 6.5%, New Zealand 7.2%, Italy 9.1%, Germany 8.7%, France 6.3%, Finland 8.8%, European Union 9.9%, and Australia at 7.8%...So unless LYIN Ted

3/10 wants to state that ALL these countries are ALSO foolishly spending money, his "Biden is fanning the flames of inflation" is PURE bullshit!! HOW many times have we heard from COUNTLESS Republican politicians about #BidenFlation?? While these LYING politicians around the

4/10 nation blame Biden for our inflation, and because they KNOW most Americans won't even TRY to research their claims, these snake oil salesmen CONVENIENTLY leave out the long term DAMAGE of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts. These cuts, developed to help the wealthy, inflated the federal

5/10 budget deficit, which left the government with less wiggle room when it needed it to rescue the economy from the pandemic. Republicans are keeping the effects of Trump's 7.8 TRILLION he added to the deficit from the American people. When the Trump/Republican tax cuts were

6/10 being discussed, economists gave a STERN warning that the cuts could eventually lead to out of control inflation (ya THINK??). They also stated the cuts would force the government to borrow to deal with emergencies (which is WHY we need to raise the debt ceiling, to pay for

7/10 the debt already incurred by you Republicans that you charged to the Gov't, which they NOW refuse to pay). In 2021, the national debt rose by almost $8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. Tell us LYIN Ted, as well as the REST of your party, why you call yourselves the

8/10 "Defenders of the Purse" when YOU rack up debt like there is NO tomorrow, with NARY a care, when YOU Republicans are in the WH, but once you leave, all of a sudden you become CONCERNED about spending money! You do this shit EVERY damn time! To battle inflation, corporate

9/10 profits, which are currently the HIGHEST in decades, should be the target of where to go to lower inflation, NOT struggling, working families. Forbes magazine reported that higher corporate profits account for more than HALF of today’s price increases. But the REPUBLICANS

10/10 consistently insist on giving these corporations and their CEO's HUGE tax breaks, and working families PAY their taxes FOR THEM! Big corporations made a HUGE killing during the pandemic, and REPUBLICANS want to AGAIN use Trump's tax cuts, paying for them by cutting Soc Sec!
