#3 Seems like taxing energy will likely make things more expensive. I think Biden should run this idea past the oracle that is currently tending Fetterman’s hump. Maybe an inspection of some goat entrails will sort this mess into a coherent policy.

#6 Reduce supply and/or raise prices on everything and make a majority of the voters dependent on you for their survival; then take the resources away from the minority to bribe the majority. It was always recognized as the ultimate risk of democracy.

#7 Never forget that government views inflation as a positive since it makes the debt look less than it is.
