To be honest I think if there were education programs to show people that, no, the president does not, in fact, cause the inflation rates and gas prices in the middle of a still on-going global pandemic that's regularly ravaging the workforce (not to mention the literal war in Eastern Europe right now) you'd probably see a lot less back and forth shit.

That is absolutely not true. How did you even come to that conclusion? Because there are plenty of facts out there to easily prove your statement wrong. Even Fox News has articles celebrating Biden's accomplishments.
Lets see... oh yea, he removed the cap on insulin, my bad as well as ban assault rifles (Criminals still gonna have them) sorry thats on me.

Gotta stop you there. We're largely in the mess we are now because the Reagan era of conservatism brought with it vehement anti-intellectualism. His advisors warned of a "dangerous educated proletariat" if college was made free for all.

Naturally, it also didn't help that leaded gasoline dropped the IQ of all Americans during the decades in which it was still in use.

I mean before Regan was Carter. A Democrat that was an excellent human being, but was a terrible president that had the country in a period of high inflation with crazy interest rates. Why does that sound familiar?

Almost like inflation isn't controlled by the president nor caused by just one single factor. Hmm...

Explain to me how Biden is a Nazi or even equal to Hitler.
I yield to you, Hilter wasn't as bad.

If I ever cover the entire back of my car with bumper stickers devoted to ANY politician, go ahead and shoot me dead. You'd be doing me a favor. In the run-up to the 2016 and 2020 election, I had a single Bernie sticker, and that was it.
Never had any politician merchandise.

What? Carter's failed policies destroyed the US economy at the time.

And there's a pretty big factor for inflation going right now. The Fed printing out trillions of dollars.

When things are good it's the President's doing. When things are bad it's something they don't have control of.

You don't typically see the repercussions of a president's policies come into focus in just four years time. Carter was elected to clean up Ford's mess, as Democrats so often are. The American people punished him for not being able to clean it up quickly enough and/or thoroughly enough.

When things are good it's the President's doing. When things are bad it's something they don't have control of.
There are both good and bad things the president has some say in. Inflation is not one of them, regardless of whether it's low or high. The amount of government spending Trump did on frivolous bullshit was insane, but he still got to enjoy low inflation rates for his entire term.

It is pretty funny seeing Trump waste billions if not trillions of dollars on a wall that didn't get built, as well as numerous failed, outright fictional cases against "election fraud," and so on, but when Biden invests in infrastructure and public services it's "an economic threat" lmfao

What can I expect from the party stupid enough to support the electoral college though?

About $15 billion was spent with about 452 miles constructed while he was in office.

Critics will argue that only 80 miles of the wall was "new", but in this image, you can see the old wall that was replaced. I'm not sure who the old one would have stopped since you could just step over it.
