Only if it spends it recklessly. If govt invests only in productive, non inflationary policy AND employs the various tools that guard against potential inflation well (like taxing), then there is no inflation.
Most inflation is caused by overseas price hikes or disruptions like war or pandemics.

Admitting how the economy really works would mean them losing all their power, wealth and influence. So they avoid it.

Mexico has issued a travel warning to not to travel to Texas and seven other US states due to a measles outbreak. At least one case has been registered in Mexico after an infected person crossed from the US.

The outbreak comes as Trump is slashing infectious diseases protections. #EndAutogenocide

Has the drive towards sustainability ended?
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Has the drive towards sustainability ended?

BP might be the most obvious company to have given up on green energy and its sustainability programme, but it is not alone. In Trumpโ€™s world being green is out of fashion. What price will we pay for that?

RNZ had this in morning report today. Why the lag, who knows.
Their article does show his spin and misinformation.

But the 'Left' surged too, didn't they? I was surprised when I saw how few seats the Afd got, after all the predictions they were going to win.

Try reading the article, and listening to the clips of what Biden, Clinton and others actually have to say.
Then I'd love some intelligent comment.
Time to rise above Trump-level abuse, don't you thnk?

Yesterday I had the privilege of joining Cwmparc residents on a peaceful march, protesting the blocking of a historic right of way that separates the community from their mountain.

There was rain, mud, a little bit of trespassing, and hypothermic stand-off ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

It is 2025 A.D. The Nazis lost in elections in Germany today despite attempts to buy it by the American King and his edgelord Cromwell, and the winning political coalition is already talking about the US as an enemy to democracy. Wild wild wild.
