Lauren Boebert Stumbles When Piers Morgan Asks Her to Define Inflation
"Well, inflation is when the price of things, is, is, over is, is too expensive, Boebert managed. Because of, of the federal government really squandering the tax dollars. So, you have the Green New Scam. Hundreds of billions of dollars spent there, um, to provide affordable energy, and it was not affordable."
"We both agree America still has inflation. We both agree that that means prices are going up. It seems to me the problem President Trump has is notwithstanding that the U.S. economy is in pretty good shape the average American knows that prices aren't actually coming down. There's still inflation, they're still going up."
"Yes, there are places where we had to raise prices to deal with this inflation under the previous administration. And it's hard to get those prices back down. And many places, many companies, small businesses, are trying to recoup from that."
During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Rep. Lauren Boebert was asked to define inflation. Her response was halting and imprecise, describing it as when prices become too expensive due to federal government mismanagement and wasteful spending on programs like the Green New Deal. Morgan pressed further, noting that while the U.S. economy is performing reasonably well, prices continue rising, though at slower rates than previously. Boebert acknowledged this reality, citing Ronald Reagan's principle about permanent federal programs and explaining that businesses are struggling to lower prices after raising them to combat prior inflation. She maintained that excessive federal spending remains problematic.
