marketplace fairness act. it s just an internet sales tax which big companies like amazon support. why? because it helps amazon priced out smaller competitors and according to congress, that s marketplace fairness. so we should all be very, very, very concerned that congress just passed something called the inflation reduction act. it mandates hundreds of billions of new dollars in spending that will increase the money supply in thisal country and that will in turnue devalue the currency and that in turn cause more inflation. that s basic supply and demand.a butti before we get to the specifics of the legislation, keep in mindhi life is already so expensive ins this country that we literally have bread lines in major cities foxes. jeff flock to spoke toke volunteers at one food bank in camden, new jersey, who say that many people cannot afford rice and beans. nd look at all these people. this is a line that runs almosta around the block herelm. y yeah, thingsou cost more . an
