It isn't Biden related as a number of these are from supplies that were slowed coming in during Trump as well as the Suez Canal issue earlier in the year.

This doesn't just matter for Americans guarding their pocketbooks. Price increases are also being closely scrutinized by investors and economists, who are desperate to know: Is this a passing phenomenon as the country emerges from a once-in-a-lifetime economic shock, or a more sustained trend that evokes the 1970s?

The midterms are looking like a disaster for the democrats

Can you imagine -- a pandemic impacting supply chains and subsequently imp0acting prices.....what kind of economy would allow that to happen.......hmmm.

Um, prices were rising prior to January 20th in case you hadn't noticed.

Wait a minute. Biden* is taking credit for dropping the death rate, but industries are still shut down and prices are still rising?

Exactly pay the same price or higher, for less

The Oil shortages is what led to the economic upheaval back then.

Joe is doing all he can to bring that back.

Prices shot up over the last year just not all at one point. Some went up last summer, some crept up this year and some rose twice.

Where did I say otherwise?

The truth of the matter is that most of the media projections regarding the impact of COVID never came true. Do we have time to add them all up? Start with not enough ventilators. Then people to operate them. Then antibiotics, they come from China you know. On and on. The run on Clorox wipes , hand sanitizers , etc. was mostly based on inaccurate info from the CDC. The only shortages were ignited by hysteria drummed up by an anti Trump media.

And consider had the American economy not have been in the position it was when COVID started, it could have even worse, much worse. Falling off the cliff is more survivable when you aren’t so far off the ground. The Democrats now have us in a near fatal position already.
