There is the fact that our economic indicators are better than other G20 nations coming out of the pandemic. That didn't happen just by chance. There had to be policy levers pulled to make that work out.
Now, I always say that blaming or crediting an POTUS for an economy is idiotic, and it is, because they are a small piece of the puzzle. So not only is blame misplaced when it comes to the economy, it shouldn't even be blame to begin with.
Yes, and we both agree on that. We also both agree that it's routine and will happen regardless. Saying inflation is down is true, but it is still far higher than it was under Trump. Seeing as they are running against each other, again, the comparison is both fair and apt. So Biden saying inflation is down is only true insofar as it's lower than it was at it's height under his leadership. it's still far higher than Trumps, hence he must eat the blame for this, like every other POTUS ever.
