As one of those Democrats famously said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” When you have the first significant inflation this country has seen in what, over 30 years (maybe more), plus rapidly rising gasoline prices which can’t be blamed solely on inflation, the uneducated middle is going to blame the current administration. Too bad, Mr. Clinton, but that weapon swings both ways.
By the way, by far the hugest part of the increase in national debt in the past three years has been due to Covid relief measures. Is there anyone reading this who thinks those measures shouldn’t have been taken? Or who didn’t think about the price the country would have to pay down the road?
