  14-06-2024 01:54 via ocregister.com
  
  Government overspending, an activity the Biden administration has taken to a new level, has sent the country into an inflationary spiral. Through trillions of dollars in COVID-19 relief programs, infrastructure spending, vote-buying student loan forgiveness programs and a political “Build Back Better Agenda,” the White House has flooded the economy and decimated consumers’ purchasing power. We’re paying more and getting less for everything from energy to food.

  G Kumar’s vaping addiction peaked in college at the University of Colorado, when flavored, disposable vapes were taking off.
  “I’d go through, let’s say, 1,200 puffs in a week,” Kumar said.
