Levin says economists are lying about inflation cause

July 26, 2022

Mike Levin said during a town hall in Oceanside, California on Saturday that the American Rescue Plan has done “almost nothing” to contribute to inflation and those saying it did “are not telling the truth.”

So, is Mike Levin accusing former Obama economic advisor and Treasury Secretary Larry Summers of lying? What about the economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco?

NRCC COMMENT: “It’s laughable Mike Levin is accusing non-partisan economists of lying when he knows he’s to blame for the price increases happening across California.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
