Not do stuff like this during periods of high inflation. Corporations can see it too.

Student Debt Cancellation and its Inflation Impact | Richmond Fed

"A key concern about the debt forgiveness program is its inflationary impact in an environment where inflation has been persistently elevated for over a year.

Right up until 2021 you could get a large drink at McDonald's for a dollar plus tax. Local McDonald's is now at $2.99 and other McDonald's in the area aren't far behind.

And I've seen a whole bunch of people/organizationsblamed for it not just biden. It all depends on who you talk to.
But thanks for answering straight up and hopefully honestly.
The problem is we might not have a path out of this. Do we really want the government setting the prices of soda pop, chicken sandwiches, diapers etc?

I agree it is a slippery slope. On one hand if you regulate too much businesses go to other countries if you don't regulate enough you get them setting prices of necessities to ungodly heights.
