Don't forget the change from 20lb to 15 lb propane tank refills... Been going on for a long fricking time, and no one complains.
Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the first COVID-19 stimulus package in 2021 which led to inflation, in what critics call a sign of what’s to come in a possible Harris administration.
Harris, who is the President of the Senate, has cast the most tie-breaking votes in the Senate of any vice president, a total of 33 thus far. Her second tie-breaker was for the stimulus package at the beginning of the Biden administration, which has significantly impacted the economy, as inflation has skyrocketed.
Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the $1.9 trillion stimulus package in February 2021 before it was sent over to the House of Representatives and passed.
Following the passage of the stimulus package, inflation increased significantly.
The U.S. inflation rate was 1.4% in 2020, then jumped to 7% in 2021. President Biden repeatedly said he "inherited" a 9% inflation rate, which CNN called false.

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.
EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'
