All the smart people told us just how bad it was going to be under Biden. He is beyond incompetent

Even the Dems can’t deny it.

The buck does stop with him

———-

More than half of U.S. Democrats believe that President Joe Biden’s policies caused the nation’s record-high inflation.

A new poll from Issues & Insights and TIPP found that approximately 53 percent of blue voters blame Biden, his administration, and his agenda for May’s 8.6 percent year-over-year increase in essential goods and services costs that are plaguing Americans.

He definitely overshot the economic stimulus bill last year. That played a significant role in our current inflation.

Biden also gets some blame for not only extending Trump's dumb tariffs, but adding some new dumb tariffs of his own (e.g. Canadian lumber tariffs).

I also blame Biden for not passing a deficit-reduction bill with Joe Manchin last year, which would have helped with inflation. Manchin was clearly interested in the idea.

Additionally, the Fed was slow to act in raising interest rates. IMO they should have started in January instead of March, and they should have started with 50-75 basis points instead of 25 basis points. (This one isn't strictly Biden's fault, but he did appoint some of the Fed governors, so he's indirectly responsible.)

All the Fed had to do was to look back to 1979 and review what Carter-nominated Fed Chairman Paul Volcker did. Reagan nominated Volcker at the end of his first term in 1983. He stayed on under Reagan until 1987. Volcker decided against a 3rd term.

Case closed. Biden blew it as usual.
 
Bad poll. They obviously handpicked partial people. Joe Biden is a democrat (So you can fully trust him) and is the new messiah who will save America from the Ultra MAGAs and their mean tweets. Just give him another 6 years and you will see.

Joe Biden 2024!!!!

LMAO - yeah. A poll from The Federalist. According to them, 61% of Democrats blame Biden for the JFK assassination, too!

:ROFLMAO:
 
Lots of poorly educated people in America. The right certainly has effective propaganda. Hard to believe that Joe Biden can cause worldwide inflation.

Indeed. For a guy who is just a figurehead - a "puppet" who is controlled by his "handlers" - Joe sure has caused a lot of damage to everyone on the planet.

The right-wing-nuts wouldn't recognize their own stupid contradictions if they walked right up and slapped them in the face.
 
So after two years the guy who said he wanted to put the oil industry out business has gasoline at the pump doubled in cost since he took office. If you're tired of it go by an electric vehicle and live next to a wind farm. If you can afford it.
 
Silly poll. So in a worldwide inflation spiral the US is what....18th??? The country that consumes like a drunken sailor is ONLY 18th? Not sure this thread is going to have the desired effect OP.
 
They spent too long trying to deny inflation was happening and got caught flat footed. Inflation isn’t Biden’s fault. Falling to act in a timely manner and contributing to making it worse are Biden’s fault even if he wants to blame anyone else.

Biden has impacted gas prices in a negative way.
 
The Democrats as a whole are largely responsible for ushering in the inflation. They demanded the country shut the economy down, they resisted reopening it, and they continued massive spending. They also have unnecessarily driven energy prices up with hostile policies toward the petroleum industry. The left owns this and it's not just here they own it globally. The "who me" routine isn't gonna fly with people but they gotta try because it's all they have.

Opinions vary!

Obviously you don't know much about the Federal Reserve and monetary policy.

Ah yes the left's favorite argument when blaming someone else fails. We are all just too dumb to understand why they are not responsible

Oh really? Let's see. In 2020 we had a Republican (cough cough) President and a Republican-controlled Senate. Which Democrats forced them to shut the economy down? I have a Republican governor in my state. Which Democrats forced him to shut it down? With evidence.
 


Must be Biden's fault.
