Will the return of big government lead to a spike in inflation? | Counting the Cost

May 15, 2021

Two decades after Bill Clinton declared the end of big government, US President Joe Biden is preparing to tax the rich and corporations to pay for recovery and level the widening gap between the richest and poorest in society.
