Sure, blame it all on Russia, you effing idiot. This crap has been building since Biden took office, and certainly didn't come from Russia. Perhaps NOW side effects, but Joe Joe had already dug his hole.

Inflation Reaches New High as Consumer Prices Jump 7.9%, Highest in Four Decades

Inflation climbed to another four-decade high in February with prices expected to push even higher on the back of soaring energy prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Department of Labor said that the consumer price index rose 7.9 percent compared with a year ago. Prices were up 0.8 compared with the prior month.

This is the ninth straight month of inflation above 5 percent. Prices rose at an annual rate of 7.5 percent in January, jumping 0.6 percent from December.

Economists had forecast CPI to rise by 0.7 percent for the month and 7.8 percent compared with a year ago.

Perhaps some things as a result this month, but the overall economy and inflation issues belong to Biden, and long prior to this as well.

Biden Blames ‘Putin’s Price Hike’ For Record High Inflation

President Joe Biden blamed “Putin’s price hike” for record high inflation Thursday, reiterating the White House’s new catch phrase.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) soared to another four-decade high in February, with food prices and energy prices growing exponentially, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Biden described the latest economic data as “the tale of two recoveries,” touting unemployment claims while putting the blame squarely on Russian President Vladimir Putin for inflation.

“Today’s inflation report is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike,” Biden declared in a statement. “A large contributor to inflation this month was an increase in gas and energy prices as markets reacted to Putin’s aggressive actions.”

Energy prices reportedly increased 25.6% and food prices grew 7.9% on a year-over-year basis, according to the BLS.

I find it amazing, not really, that the current line is to blame corporate greed but I've got to ask; Have corporations not been greedy for the past 40 years? It seems if someone would simply ask that question once the faulty logic would fall apart.
