Inflation happens. For a multitude of reasons. I’m not an economics expert. Can’t tell you why.
What has happened in Bidens term of office is inextricably linked to the mistakes and missteps of the previous administration. I know that much.
This is not P&E. But I will say Trump was a disaster and I think he has caused a mind-shift in America that has made people angry, families have disintegrated, friendships have turned into hate filled acquaintances.
