The inflation issue our nation is going through is definitely the fault of the Biden administration but far be it from Democrats to take responsibility for any problem they’ve caused.

As such, the Biden administration has pointed their finger at everyone but themselves and as Texas Senator Ted Cruz pointed out, Democrats want you to believe that our economic inflation is even a good thing.

Appearing on Fox News’s Hannity with host Sean Hannity, Cruz was asked about how easy it would be to solve the energy crisis by discontinuing attempts to get other nations to increase their oil production in order to sell it to us, and just drilling at home. The dramatically increasing price at the pump lead Cruz to speak about inflation where he listed five lies the Biden administration has told in regards to it.

“And so on inflation, the White House had five separate lies in inflation,” began Cruz. “First lie is, it’s not happening. Don’t believe your eyes. There’s no inflation. Second lie is, oh, it’s transitory. Yes, it’s happening but it’s transitory. Just for a moment.”

“The third lie is, it’s a high-class problem,” he continued. “It’s there, but it’s a high-class problem. Aren’t you lucky to have inflation? Their fourth lie was, it’s happening, it’s not transitory, it’s not high class, but it’s a good thing! It’s a sign of how great the economy is that you can’t afford to pay for your groceries or put gas in your car.

“And then lie number five that every Biden apparatchik has repeated is ‘Putin, Putin, Putin.’ They decided politically, let’s blame this train wreck of a Biden energy policy on Vladimir Putin. Well you know what? The gasoline prices have risen 48% before Putin invaded Ukraine. As the sticker says on the gas pumps, “I did this.” Joe Biden did this!”

Hannity continued by stating that Biden isn’t “cognitively up for this job” and is in decline, to which Cruz agreed.

Calling it “strange,” Cruz pointed out that Biden’s handlers don’t let him talk to Republican Senators which is “weird.” Moreover, Biden’s done everything to help Russia up to this point, especially the opening of the Nordstream 2, which opened the door wide for Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin his war with Ukraine. Meanwhile, he’s shutting down pipelines here in America, throwing us into the financial trouble we’re in now.

Cruz ended by making it clear that attempting to talk to the Biden administration about it is futile as they will not see reason. They have something of a “religious conviction” about their hatred of oil drilling at home.

The “religious conviction” that Cruz spoke of is closer to the truth than some may realize. The Biden administration, and many Democrats for that matter, have a bizarre attachment to the idea of stopping climate change but only do more than most to make the environment worse. Not only do the countries the Biden administration wants to import our oil from produce far dirtier oil with less refining standards that pollute the Earth, their so-called “green energy” is anything but.

A large expanse of land has to be destroyed in order to create solar and wind farms and the materials that are necessary to create things like solar panels are themselves toxic. The land is often polluted by solar panels, and the animals around the area are wiped out during implementation. Wind farms kill millions of birds a year.

Yet, attempting to make Democrats in the church of climate change see reason is nearly impossible.

So, the best they can do is lie about the issues their church causes and the economic hardships they create.
