So, before we start blaming Biden for everything, let's take a look at less than four years ago... Trump in Granite City, IL (metro St. Louis region). You don't need to watch the video, its the same old lies, bluster, bragging and bs. But it sets the scenario...
Now, its important to remember that republicans are blaming inflation on Biden (which is fair, he's the president, you're in charge, period). But their policies and refusal to curb corporate greed or fix the tax laws to make billionaires and corporations pay a fair amount results in moves of greed, moves that benefit only the companies and not their workers, or both. Democrats need to hit home the fact that a LOT of inflation is purely because it's a a big train that everyone hops on. Sure, the war in Ukraine, COVID and other factors have a play in SOME inflation in SOME goods and services, but there's very little stopping everyone else from raising prices just because they can.
Factories are back! Manufacturing is back! Tariffs are working! America is great again!
And less than four years later...
