Governor DeSantis SLAMS Trump for calling him an authoritarian during the Covid lockdowns. SLAMS Trump for driving inflation by borrowing and spending $6 trillion. Says Republicans are “too aligned with a handful of entrenched interests” like Big Tech. “So the idea that big tech and the Republicans are just in bed together, I think is a HUGE mistake from a policy perspective. I think it's a huge mistake from a political perspective. I also think, what do we stand for in terms of the economy? I watch these politicians scurry around the country, running for Congress, running for U.S. Senate, running for state office, and they're talking about affordability. They don't have any solutions. Why do we have inflation? A very easy answer, the root cause of it, was at the beginning of this decade, the government borrowed and spent $6 trillion over a 13-month period that we did not have, printed it out of whole cloth, of course you're going to have inflation. Now, has the war and the disruption of energy markets created the uplift in prices since then? Of course that has. But the overall reason we still had 3.7% inflation, which is also high historically to where you want to be, is because of federal borrowing and spending. I'm not seeing anybody say that we should do anything to even moderate it a little bit. It just keeps growing and growing, and the debt keeps growing and growing.“
