And what should he have done differently? The economy is recovering, jobs are being created tho some workers are reluctant to return — all factors that cause inflation. It will decrease, and we are better off in general.
It will not stop Biden from squinting in the camera with a slight drool and muttering......
Putin did that
But he didn't Joe.

Joe Biden in the mid-1970s was a first-term senator when President Gerald Ford implored Americans to wear “Whip Inflation Now”(WIN) buttons and stickers. The Ford administration’s sartorial effort to raise awareness about fast-rising prices and get Americans to spend less drew widespread media ridicule and even raised private doubts among top White House economic advisers. Biden watched inflation become a major theme in Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter’s defeat of Ford.
Inflation is now getting too close to disco-era highs for comfort, with Biden as president after 36 years in the Senate and eight years as vice president. Inflation skyrocketed 7.9 percent over the past year, according to the February report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the fastest rate of inflation since January 1982.
That puts Biden and Democrats in dangerous political territory heading into November’s midterm elections. But Biden — whose poll numbers have already been boosted following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — thinks he has a boogeyman to pin the problem on: Vladimir Putin. The Biden administration blamed the Russian president Thursday for the rapid American price hikes, as it did earlier in the week when it came to spiking gas prices.
Opinion | Biden won't get away with blaming Putin for inflation
Inflation has been rising for six months, well before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Republicans are trying to make sure voters don't forget that.www.nbcnews.com
Powell caved on his 3% inflation benchmark so off to the races
What is remarkable is that the mainstream media...the ones who are the Dem propaganda machine...can't even make excuses for the Biden puke lies about inflation and gas prices.It will not stop Biden from squinting in the camera with a slight drool and muttering......

And it would be remiss not to add they also lack the ability, willingly or unwillingly, to reason. Weird......
Not spent months pushing for spending trillions more of printed money on his Build Back Better Bullshit. Stood up to the Green New Deal loons in his pary and undo all of the policies he's put in place to gut the oil industry. Fire the completely incompetent boob Buttigeg and get someone in the job that knows what they are doing.
No jobs are being "created" People are simply going back to work at jobs they were laid off from or paid not to go to work,.
I believe that the BBB was politically foolish to push as a package, given that it was identified with its price tag. But its elements are popular, useful and necessary, and hyping those individually (preschool, health care, tax breaks where they are needed) is a better political strategy. Priming the pump to move an economy is often done. Conservatives tend not to like the inflation that often comes with it, given whose interests they represent, while for many working people it becomes a mixed blessing, with more jobs coupled with higher prices, on balance better. And like it or not, elements of the Green New Deal are what the climate situation demands of us, and moving in that direction represents the consensus of our European cousins. I think both the Green New Deal and BBB will share the fate of an element of the original New Deal, the National Recovery Act. It was shot down as a whole package, but as I understand it, some of its elements -union rights, for example - survived or were revived in other legislation.
Well, you are going to lose the House and the Senate becasue of these policy decisions. I'd say there is zero chance of any of the Green New Deal an little chance of most of the part of BBB getting passed under a Republican congress.
I presume we will lose Congress as is traditional, but not for things like proposals to better child care and health care. And I imagine democrats would love to campaign on the GOP rejecting these things in a difficult time for many.
I suspect that it has far more to do with the rampant and excessive spending, which is partially responsible for spurring inflation to it's present historic highs, and the repeated foreign policy failures, i.e. Afghanistan, and other shown weakness in foreign policy.

Evidence won't be here until November. All indicators are flashing red at DNC headquarters.
Can you cite data that proves the inflation were suffering now was caused by Biden.
The problem is that the election gimmicks and personnel they used in 2020 are still in place for 2022 and beyond unless the States clean their houses.
Yet, it goes against the post it was in response to: that Democrats are "wrecklessly spending". You don't reduce deficits by spending more.
