the inflation we have been experiencing has been global (and hit most other places much harder). part of it is due to covid shutting the world down for a year and then consumerism going buckwild globally, and part is due to the war in ukraine caused by vlad pootin and supported by the gop.
progressive policy in the us would be something like investing in green energy much more or regulating insurance/healthcare better and those would both drive tons of good paying domestic jobs. some inflation is inevitable, but massive inflation in a country with a stable currency and economy is p much always cyclical and rare and brought on by outside circumstances. the us government could invest in a massive public works program and education and healthcare without any negative consequences other than raising taxes on the top 10%. it probably won't happen because our congress is so broken and gerrymandered and the senate is fixed for the minority party, but it could be done and only benefit americans
