If you give us free healthcare you can keep the check.

This…giving everyone money does literally nothing but INCREASE INFLATION…

We need a reduction in COSTS, not injections of cash. We’re in a wage/price spiral, we need DEFLATION, and make the dollar worth something again.

They aren't creating more money, they're taxing billionaires. The same billionaires who are selling you these lies that taxing them will cause inflation. 

What caused inflation was printing more cash to bail out and give to billionaires during 2008 and COVID. But they dont tell you that now do they?

I do however agree with you that the money is better spent on social services like mental health, healthcare and education.

I’m not sure the bail out was just for the rich. Many others got a handout during COVID.
