    I’m a never Biden person. As much as I don’t like Trump, things were going in the right direction under Trump.

    I will give Biden props for handling Ukraine and Gaza. I support giving aid to Ukraine but I don’t support boots on the ground.

      Explain how things were better under trump, and then explain how it was related to anything trump did.

        Well it sounds like you already have your mind made up.

        What has Biden done better? Higher inflation? We all love that higher inflation.

          You missed the critical second step. Explain why Biden is responsible for the levels of inflation

            His policies. He handed out a lot of money which drove up inflation.

            The main area where Biden has faced criticism relates to outsized government spending. The $2 trillion American Rescue Plan, in particular, has come under scrutiny by economists for contributing to the surge in inflation.

              So the inflation reduction act is responsible for the inflation that started before the act was even written? You’re kidding right? (Your first link)

              Your own article cites

              The effects [of the inflation reduction act] will not be evident for a long time and inflation currently stands at a four-decade high.

              He handed out a lot of money which drove up inflation.

              The american rescue plan is 1.9T over 10 years is the cause of inflation? Which part of the american rescue plan do you disagree with exactly? And why is that the cause of inflation, and not the trillions of dollars handed out under trump

                Did you ignore the second article or only focus on the one? I even cited the relevant section for you.

                The point is that there are multiple things the idiot has done to create inflation.

                  I addressed both articles. What would trump have done differently? Which parts of the american rescue plan shouldn’t have been done, and how much did that contribute to inflation?

                    Trump wouldn’t have done what Biden did.

                    None of it should have been done. There was no need for any of it. Biden just wanted to spend money. COVID cost the country a lot of money. We locked down way too early and destroyed the economy. You don’t solve the problem my borrowing more money for needless things.
