The Putin stuff is pathetic desperation. What happens when political sociopaths run out of lies and imagination? They try to put tread on the old worn out lies.

The government caused inflation by giving money away.
The “earned income credit” is free money for having a kid in your household.
I believe it’s been increased from $3500 per kid.
You also get the credit if you earn less than $21,000 ($1500)
57% of people pay no income tax so they are going to spend the money on something.
I’m sick to my stomach every April; the government is giving away trillions of dollars and it sells IOUs (borrows money) to do it.
I’m more concerned about taxes on our life savings than inflation.

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'
