under Biden: inflation 2.9%, unemployment 4.1%

Americans are NAZIs. And it is not Biden's fault.

My rent doubled in the 4 years he was president every utility has shot up, food has doubled in price wages have only gone up 10% buying a house is a pipe dream, according to my bank account inflation at 2.9% is a lie

Someone doesn't understand how inflation rates work...

Someone who does not understand 2.9% means nothing when everything has already doubled in price and wages have hardly moved

Someone doesn't understand how inflation rates change over time.

Someone doesn't understand that wages increase.

Someone who does not understand inflation outpaced wages so much that a low inflation rate now does nothing

Someone is either lying or incredibly misinformed...either way, embarrassingly incorrect

If someone doesn't believe that, someone could just look at all the spending people keep doing

Some are also just plain stupid... the inflation rate increasd in those 4 years and that's obviously Biden's fault because nothing outside of the US exists that could have any influence.

They get credit for the good stuff beyond their control too.

Biden's team are the worst marketers ever.

Biden to his team: "Should we do a big marketing blitz to let everyone know what we achieved with infrastructure? Guys? Anyone?"

Americans: "Biden has never accomplished anything in his entire life and Trump will save the country."

Not just Biden team, Democrats in general are horrible at communicating
