Have you noticed your grocery bill creeping up lately? That's because the prices are, and part of that is due to the government's latest spending spree. The Biden administration has proposed a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that some economists say will just make things worse.

Now, let me break this down for you. This isn't just about building roads and bridges anymore; it’s about pouring trillions into an economy that doesn’t need such a stimulus right now. The last thing we should be doing is adding to the debt when inflation is already on the rise.

Nobody is going to tell you this on CNN, but this plan will hit taxpayers hard and do little to help jobs in sectors where they're really needed. Instead of pouring money into projects that might not even get off the ground for years, we need policies that address today's job market.

And here’s the buried number: The real cost of this infrastructure isn’t just the $2 trillion – it includes all the indirect costs like higher inflation and interest rates. We’re talking about tens of billions more down the line because of this overreach.

The irony is, who benefits from all this spending? Not you or I; it’s the big corporations that get sweetheart deals on construction contracts and lobbyists who shape these bills to their liking. The little guy loses again.

Now, I have been watching this for years, and every time there's a new proposal like this, the same thing happens: more debt, higher prices, and no real relief for those in need. It’s a cycle that needs to break.

To protect yourself, keep an eye on your expenses. When inflation starts creeping up again—and it will—be ready with a plan B. This infrastructure bill might make headlines now, but the consequences will be felt long after election day.
