and so this is what democrats do. this is who they are. maria: it s pretty incredible because there s so many unintended consequences, i assume it s unintended, the fact that people don t want to go back to work because they re counting on further checks, whether it be child care checks or the other money in the bill. do you think we will see a vote on october 31st for this and let me put up ron klain s retweet of jason furman, saying that most of the economic problems we re facing including inflation, supply chains, are high class problems, senator. this is what they say, this is high class problems. we re going to show a graphic in a moment of some of those, quote, high class problems where you see spikes in many items. democrats are just living in a fantasy world. they deny reality. and theiv reality is, high inflation primarily affects retirees and the working poor or any poor person. the rich people can handle
independent as the president begs opec to do something about it. well, to call president biden and his administration incompetent is accurate. it s too kind. ithese are their policies. they want to drive up the price of fossil fuel. they want to drive up the price riof energy so apparently we use less of it. again, energy prices affect the price of every good and commodity. so again, this is exactly what they want. they want open borders. they want deficit spending. they want to increase debt. they want to make americans more dependent on government. they the want increasing energy prices. they wantgo inflation. this is what they want. and this is what was so disappointing in the last election. i tried to warn americans, don t elect people that want to fundamentally transform america. i said this repeatedly. do you like much less even love something you want to fundamentally transform? so no, they have put america on
the price of eggs, chicken, beef, i mean, all of this inflation as a result of the free money that s been coming at the economy. i was just at a hotel recently and they told me they can t get the workers back on the job because they are saying why would i go back to work when i m making more from the government are you pursuing a welfare state? no. i acknowledge inflation is a concern and it s hurting working families and middle class as prices have gone up but what is the solution to inflation. there are two things that are the solution, we have to get people back into the workforce. what s going to get people back into the workforce? providing them with childcare. we saw economic studies show when you ended the unemployment benefits it didn t lead to people going back to the workforce because of childcare and the concern about covid so those are the things we have to address to tackle inflation. we also have to build manufacturing supply chain and our infrastructure. the bill is ta
inflation. they ll figure out p the right places to put their money. their assets will inflate with the rest of inflation. it s the poor, people on fixed income that are incredibly hurt plby inflation. and people need to understand that. and unfortunately, it always sounds good when the federal government is sprinkling around benefits, going to give you free college and free child care and free pre-k, all the stuff is not free as margaret thatcher said, the problem with socialism, that s what democrats are putting us on this path, socialism, the problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people s money which means you start coming after the money from the middle class. maria: senator, look at these numbers we re showing on the fscreen. gasoline up 42% year over year, energy overall 25%. used cars and trucks, 24%. food, 4.5%. clothing, transportation services, it goes on and on. we also have some of the food specifically broken out here,
700 club when he has something to say. and that s it for today. have a great week. and we ll see you next fox news sunday. maria: good sunday morning, everyone. welcome to sunday morning futures. i m maria bartiromo. today, a complete ship show, 60 ships lined up in the pacific unable to deliver needed goods because of supply disruptions causing empty store shelves everywhere and what is on shelves is now 10 to 20% more expensive than just one year ago as the biden administration policies slam american families with soaring inflation and unconstitutional vaccine mandates. but don t worry, nancy pelosi is
