Inflation is a 'disaster for the country': Hugh Hewitt
Syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt weighed in on inflation hitting a new 40-year high on 'Special Report.'
Syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt said inflation is a major problem for the Biden administration Wednesday on "Special Report" and can expect it to be a major voting issue in November.
HUGH HEWITT: Well, anyone who is under the age of 62, which includes everybody but me on this panel, bill, do not remember what this is like. When I got out of college in 1978, inflation was 7.6%. In 1979, it went to 11.3%. And in 1980 it went to 13.5%. If you are young and just going into the workforce, or you are old and on a fixed income, inflation destroys your ability to make a living. And what it also does is destroy a president or party and the Democrats are going to get wiped out. It takes a Reagan.
