In a recent address to Dauphin County Democrats and AFSCME members, Democratic Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania passionately spoke out against corporate greed and its impact on consumer prices. Casey has been vocal in his criticism of 'greedflation' and 'shrinkflation,' terms he uses to describe the practice of corporations raising prices and reducing product sizes to maximize profits at the expense of consumers.
With inflation reaching a four-decade high of 9.1% in 2022, Casey's focus on greedflation comes at a critical time for Democrats facing challenges in the upcoming elections. The Senator's efforts to highlight the issue align with his populist politics and support from labor unions.
