    the problem is not inflation, per se. western economists all agree, a little inflation (around 2 or 3%) is a good thing, as it provides enough of a buffer to prevent a deflationary spiral; because deflation is much, much harder to recover from. the main problem is that people's incomes have not kept pace with rising inflation, over many years… while America's billionaire class, the top one percent, own and hoard much of America's wealth. And Donald Trump's odious regime will make the grasping super-rich oligarchs/plutocrats even richer, while lower-income Americans will suffer a most cruel austerity. If you're not a billionaire, and you voted for Donald Trump, then you voted against your own best interests. Now get ready for the find out part of FAFO.

    Reading the comments from Trump supporters truly brings it home to me what the problem is for America.
    America isn’t going to slide from economic primacy because of political will, it will slide from it’s position as the strongest economy because a narrow majority of Americans absolutely can’t understand a solitary thing about economics. Nothing at all. Truly not one thing.
    They understand only that someone quite charismatic and shouty has convinced them to believe a story - based on absolutely nothing.

      7.75% over 4 years is pretty good. The average YOY inflation of Trump was under 2% , Biden’s was 5%. It’s easy to throw out a 7.5% inflation and say look at that number that’s really bad until you understand what it means.

      Inflation was 1.4% the day Joe took office. Joe had inflation 7.5% for 2 years. During the same time those on Social Security only got a 2.4% cost of living increase. This means my SS got cut by 10% in 2 years of Joe Biden. In a 18 month period grocery prices doubled. People know how to read price tags. And they know when these things happened. I live in East TN. Where in the year 2020 gas was $1.58 a gallon, a dozen eggs was 99 cents, and a pound of ground 80/20 beef was $1.58. You care to know what those items are now?

    The President doesn't control interest rates. The Fed can influence short-term rates. But the President (& Congress) have a great deal of control over discretionary spending. Meaningful reductions in discretionary spending will absolutely have a positive effect on reducing inflation. One of the reasons the Fed has taken so long to bring inflation to heal is that while the Fed was reducing demand by raising the Fed Funds rate, the administration was stimulating the economy in hopes of influencing the election.
