If it's really "the economy, stupid," that determines success in presidential elections, then Biden can probably rest easy at neutral. No, Bidenomics alone didn't save us but neither did they damn us. One of the clear advantages of a president as experienced as Biden is wisdom: in this case, the wisdom to get the heck out of the Fed's way as it masterfully applied the breaks to what could have been runaway inflation. ......

... and caused my gas prices to double, food to triple, and rent / mortgage to go through the roof. Yes, that was f-ing masterful alright. If that's not runaway inflation, then I don't know what is. And a small growth in inflation does not mean it's getting smaller. I love President Biden, but I think he could have taken a more "hands on" approach to the issue.
