SenRickScott This is what this presidency has wanted from day one…

SenRickScott All because Republicans handed the country over to Dr Faucci

SenRickScott WRONG! It’s happening in all corners of the world. ALL large central banks in the world pumped money in the system to fight crises. This has happened way before Biden. GOPLiesAboutEverything

SenRickScott Yes, fed printed $5T under Trump after huge tax cuts. What do you think was going to happen?

SenRickScott If would be rare in history to see food inflation 20%, rents 40% during the first presidential year. If he would be Trump, he would have been impeached 10 more times by Dem.

SenRickScott Nobody seems to mind that Powell is a lawyer and NOT an economist! He isn't qualified to look after the financial/economic well being of a country. He's qualified to prosecute a shirty government though...
