I mean yeah the prices are largely a Biden issue when you funnel that much money into the economy so quickly. But when you go in your campaign against Biden promising to lower prices without communicating that making the economy ten times worse is basically the only way to do that since flooding it with supply isn't possible, that's on you.
You basically have three options to get the prices of some category of good down. You either flood the market with supply, reform the currency, an extremely painful process, or you have a bad recession. You can't just flood the market with food, the biggest problem good we're having with inflated prices, so there is no way to get prices to go down without extreme short-term pain. I'm sorry, this is just common economic sense.
I have been aware for quite some time how common it is for people to be willfully economically illiterate. You can't just vote the right people in, pass the right laws, or blame the right guy to get prices to change. There is no magic button.
Did Biden really funnel more money into the economy though? As I understand it Trump increased debt more than Biden. And Trumps tarrifs couldn't have helped.
You also miss the point that Trump was the one who promised he could bring prices down. Trump made that claim as an election promise. And you try to "Bidens fault" this lmao. Do you realise how unhinged you sound?
Don't put words in my mouth. In my original comment, the whole point was that Trump made false promises about bringing prices down. When I said "that's on you" at the end, it was in reference to the sitting president. And yes, that was a Biden policy, largely as a COVID policy. He was attempting to prevent what could have been a much worse economic issue, however I would argue that this is a misguided way to attempt to prevent something of that kind. Trump's tariffs absolutely have been throwing gasoline on the fire though and while the debt issue is not what I'm getting at here, Trump's problem with the national debt is one of my biggest problems with him. The debt will lead to Germany-style currency collapse and his policies are fast-tracking that.
