I’m not entirely sure that Biden-or-Trump inflation question shows what they think it shows.
I do blame Biden quite a bit for inflation.
Stimulus was the right move during Covid. But it was inevitably going to result in inflation if the added money wasn’t cleaned up via taxes.
Trump could’ve started the ball rolling on a tax plan before exiting. But even if he was the kind of guy who would commit political suicide during an election year for the good of the country, time was pretty tight and there were legitimately bigger fish to fry.
So it fell on Biden. Biden had four years to do it. He didn’t. The money accumulated in the hands of the ultra-wealthy.
I get that it was an unfavorable legislative environment, but you gotta make it obvious to the voters that you see the problem and are trying to fix it. Instead, we got interest rate voodoo and several months of gaslighting that the economy has never been better.
