What dogmatic idiots like Lamar Alexander need to have their noses rubbed in until they understand it is that 40+ years of depressing wages did not eliminate inflation. All it did is put the economy on life support, first with consumer debt and now with public assistance supplementing starvation wages so that workers are not dying on the job.

Or engaging in outright revolution.
