Questions/Issues Discussed:
Did greed and thievery shape the American economy into one envied by most of the
world? Or did free markets, capitalism, and people believing in life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness?
Is America’s current economy at a crossroads?
What are the causes of inflation in the US? Samuel believes that many government
officials are “under the illusion that they can somehow manage the economy from
the top down…better than 300 million entrepreneurs in the United States”. And
this problem is not just coming from the Left; many on the Right are joining
this circus.
Is it possible to get inflation under control? Samuel has some great
suggestions…
Is everyone – poor and rich – impacted by inflation?

Title: Shrinkflation is at Large in the US Economy
Topic: Inflation
Discussed by Dr. EJ Antoni
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Biden’s poll numbers are shrinking as the inflation rates soars.
Coincidence? I think not.
Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Dr. EJ Antoni says: “Say hello to
shrinkflation, the covert-ops version of inflation.” Dr. Antoni is an
expert economist with the TPPF, focusing on fiscal and monetary policy.
Click
here to read more on this topic from Dr. EJ Antoni.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Who does inflation hurt the most?
Do many people have the opportunity to just “make more money”? Dr.
Antoni explains how government programs (i.e. free money) keep people from
pursuing other careers and opportunities.
Can we lay the blame for today’s skyrocketing inflation rate at the feet of Joe
Biden and his policies? Dr. Antoni explains that there is a difference between
fiscal policies and monetary policies. BUT, he goes on to say that YES
– we can blame the Biden Administration for our current inflation problem.
When calculating inflation and the cost of consumer goods, does the government
calculate inflation today as they did in the 1970s and 1980s?
When calculating inflation and the cost of consumer goods, do government
bureaucrats figure in the diminishing size of the product (i.e. how many ounces
are in the can)? Dr. Antoni says that it doesn’t matter! Consumers know they are
spending more on everything!
What are some other examples of “shrinkflation”?
Is shrinkflation taxation without representation? “It is a way for the
government to take value away from consumers by printing money. It allows the
government to spend money without having to raise an official tax,” Dr.
Antoni says. He goes on to explain how many people don’t even realize it’s
happening because it is usually gradual. However, this time it is different.

Government data points to an inflation rate of 5.4%. Is this at its highest level in 13 years?
Is inflation here to stay for the near term and longer?
Why is the Independent Women’s Forum tracking price changes on many household staples? Patrice explains that these high inflation rates are hitting lower- and middle-class families hard and they are doing all they can to help fight it.
Are supply chain disruptions going to interrupt the flow of staple goods? Patrice reveals that only two Senators are fighting for the American people: Senator Joe Manchin III (WV) and Senator Kyrsten Sinema (AZ).
