The economic recovery after Covid had shut down the global economy was either going to be inflationary or it wasn’t going to be a robust recovery. Those were the either/or alternatives. Big recovery with no inflation was not an option.
Weak recovery with inflation was the baseline expectation of economists, and because they are mostly a$$holes who worship capitalists, most economists were giddy to intentionally cause a recession that would close small businesses, lose millions of jobs, and force wages down, all to save us from the horror of temporary inflation.
Biden chose economic growth, job creation, and wage increases, which left us with mild inflation until the economy figured out how to be efficient again.
If he had done what all the trolls say he should have done, we would have had a recession, thousands more failed businesses, millions fewer jobs, and lower salaries and wages.
Given the damage done by the last three republican presidents, and the aggregate job creation under Dem white houses versus GOP white houses, I am curious as to what you think could have been done better, and based on what set of facts?
This might be the dumbest, most callow post, ever. IF he had an understanding of the importance of productivity and the private sector, he could have had a great economy that rocketed out of a forced downturn with inflation under much greater control.
