the terrible economic situation the world found itself in during covid. No one mentions that inflation started going up during TSF's first term, before Biden. No one mentions that we avoided a certain recession during Biden's administration and that inflation was declining, or that our economy outperformed most of the developed world during Biden. No one mentions that it may take a while for inflation to catch up with all the tariff nonsense and that one reason prices aren't going up as fast as anticipated because economic outlook is bad and people aren't spending as much...and in fact they are going into debt. Less demand may be keeping prices low.

For lots of reasons most people are concerned about the economy but all we hear is inflation was high under Biden and steady under TSF. Frustrating.
