The Coming Inflation Re-Acceleration–Regardless of Who Wins Election | Facts Matter

Facts Matter

We are just less than three weeks out from the 2024 election. Meaning that in about three and a half weeks—or however long it takes to count the votes—we’re going to know who will lead the country for the next four years.
