Yes!
Inflation is Biden’s fault, and only Biden’s fault
President Joe Biden has been sleeping too long on America’s ailing inflation woes — while his lefty energy policies handcuff oil producers and tax Americans at the pump.

If you break it you own it,” is pretty much what Joe Biden should be thinking right now, but he isn’t, of course.
Yes, it’s inconceivable that the president who so deservedly owns his moniker “Sleepy Joe” has enough self-awareness to own up to his role in fomenting the precarious state of the US economy that’s sitting on a 40-year high of 7.9% (and growing) inflation.
The problem for Biden is that inflation, according to every Wall Street CEO I speak to, is only going to get worse no matter how much he passes the buck and blames the Russians for higher prices on everything from gasoline to food. That is, unless Sleepy Joe has an awakening and reverses his bizarre energy policies that made America dependent on despots from Russia to Venezuela. No matter how fast the environmentalists and their lackeys in the White House push for a zero-carbon footprint, we still depend on oil and gas as the lifeblood of our economy.
Inflation is theft. It siphons money particularly from poor, working and middle-class Americans. But Joe Biden fueled it with absurd fiscal policies that included continuing to pay people not to work when the economy needed supply to meet the rising demand post-COVID.
Do you honestly believe that inflation happens- boom- overnight?Yes!

When you do something stupid - boom - overnight.
It starts slow and eventually works it's way to, what, 8% now?
No, and neither is gas prices.
Thanks for admitting the truth about trump's tariffs on China goods.

Odd I don't remember mentioning Trump's tariffs as causing inflation. Do you have a link, or any evidence what so ever, that what didn't cause inflation during the Trump administration is causing inflation during Biden's?
I didn't say you did.
Will you admit that trump's tariffs on China had a hand in the inflation that, btw, the world is experiencing today?
Or are you going to keep on with your diatribe that it's all Biden's fault.
At least half if not more according to reasonable accounts..

Why Biden is keeping Trump's China tariffs in place | CNN Politics
President Joe Biden has left tariffs in place on $350 billion of Chinese goods that were imposed by his predecessor. He suggested recently that the reason is China's failure so far to meet its ambitious target of buying $200 billion more in US goods and agricultural products than it did before...

Biden Is Blaming Everyone for Inflation but Himself
It's a disgraceful dereliction of duty—and the American people shouldn't stand for it, not least because it means inflation won't be mitigated.

Why, when you can't or won't provide any evidence.
Note ..Biden could have ended those tariffs...
Spamature
President
Did his policies cause it.
You'd have to show where.
Is it his cross to bear
That comes with the job.
Can he come up with a series of proposal for congress to pass and guarantee those measures will stop inflation ?
No
But he could call the GOP's bluff and propose a series of measure he says will stop inflation by having the Dems put them up for a vote.
Then he can blame the GOP when they filibuster his proposals and tell the public the Republicans are intentionally inflicting paid on the American people.

Fault and responsibility are not the same thing, although many conflate the two,
Biden, by virtue of the fact he is the President, is responsible for the state of the nation, and that obviously includes inflation. You can blame inflation on whomever, whatever you want...but that will not absolve the President of his responsibility. It is his duty to address the issue - Anything less is a dereliction of duty.
Quite obviously, both the President and the Democrats in charge of the Senate and House did nothing to prevent the worst inflation in forty years, so the questions now become what are they doing about it, and when can America expect results?
Any Biden apologists interested in defending their hero should answer those questions, rather than just whine that no one should hold Biden accountable for anything, ever.
Don't hold your breath....

So ..yes.. and he has no plans and you advocate for him to play politics at Americans expense? Wow..
Good policy...not

If they were so damaging to the economy, he would have been incompetent not to.

President
Oh, he has a plan
And it's going to hurt like hell.
Because it pretty much the only plan available when this happens.
You start a recession, and hope you don't over do it.
I am talking a plan for a political game, not a game plan.
