Tariffs and Potential Inflation

Money Bills start in the house, written by the GOP. You're correct that Dems joined in - lobbyists bribed everyone.

Manufacturing left well before Biden.
Not exactly. Both the House and the Senate have authorization committees (e.g., for DoD they are the HASC and the SASC) that authorize spending within their jurisdictions but can't appropriate funds. The HAC and the SAC are the respective Appropriations Committees and that is where legislation is written that allocates federal funds to the numerous government agencies, departments, and organizations on an annual basis. Prior to going to the President for signature, the HAC and the SAC have to come to a mutually agreed on Appropriations Act for each Fiscal year. So while the House may be Republican, the Senate has been Democrat under Biden and thus no money is spent by the USG without explicit Dem input and approval. If you are unhappy with any USG spending, blame it equally on both Parties at the House/Senate level or put it where it ultimately ends, on the President's desk.
