In general, I would agree with this statement on a macro scale; however, when you look at what Biden's infrastructure policies alone are doing for our union workers, they're growing the US economy from the middle out. No trickle-down economics that only makes the wealthier more wealthier. Biden does have great unemployment numbers lowest in over 50-yrs, inflation is back in check, and ppl are now saving more than they're spending. The trade unions are flourishing with 25 out of 30 trades reporting more than doubling their worker productivity. American construction companies are mandated to purchase goods and labor provided by American workers. President Biden also is leaving the Fed alone in their decisions on how to handle interest rates and that has helped bring inflation back in check.
The average voting American sees the Buck Stopping with Biden. They don't realize gas prices and inflation were also worsened by supply chain issues and shortages creating higher demand. As opposed to gas prices being so low b/c we were in a COVID lockdown and there was a huge supply of oil not being used.
