To anyone who remembers the days of candidate Joe Biden and his promise to take responsibility instead of blaming others the last year and a half have been a hoot. It is difficult to find another US political figure who has been so reluctant to blame himself for his own failings as Joe, who has repeatedly shifted his opinions regarding who is to blame for inflation and for high gas prices.
Indeed, with inflation nearing 9% (and likely to rise month over month for some time to come) and with gas prices stubbornly high despite a gas tax holiday and releasing oil from US strategic reserves, the fact is clear; Joe Biden has absolutely no idea what to do with regards to messaging, because the economy is the foremost issue on everyones' minds, and they roundly and rightfully blame him for the problem.
This is due in large part to the ever evolving (or devolving) scapegoats being trotted out one by one by the stewards' administration. First we were told inflation did not exist. We were told next that inflation was merely "transitory."This term was as laughable as it was short lived. Biden's massive multi trillion dollar spending spree has worsened inflation considerably, but he laughably claimed the spending would lower inflation before walking it back to refine his claim, later saying that it would reduce inflation... but in the "long term." That Biden flat out lied about "Nobel laureates" applauding his fiscal plan was notable at the time. He later would go on to blame Russia for inflation even though inflation had been steadily rising for a year prior to the invasion of Ukraine.
This roughly shadows the Biden gas price hikes at large (tied partly to inflation in a more general way.) We have heard every possible cope from the asterisk administration on this issue- it is the fault of oil companies, Russia, Trump, materialistic consumers, and now, most lately, gas stations.
Indeed, the only person not responsible for the US economy is the one who initially claimed he wanted to take drastic steps to fundamentally change it. This isn't so unbelievable when you consider this; Joe Biden is demented and cannot even change his own shoes.
All of this has combined to lower Bidens approval polling to the lowest point of any US president at this point in a term.
The only good thing that Biden has accomplished is the stark demonstration that DC and The Swamp are totally unconcerned with mainstream America (by design, ignorance or malfeasance) and more Americans are starting to realize that (to paraphrase) "if you're from the government, you're not here to help me". Elitists and Green New Dealers do not have a clue as to how things in the real world work.
he's just being told what to do. the same ones egging on vaxing children even though it has probably caused half the women to become sterile.. whoops
