Previous Message People in general are big mad about the state of the economy. I suspect a huge part of it has to be the relationship and obsession of "owning" a home or selling your home which has been shot in the ass by interest rates for a ton of people and localities. Democrats have to do a better job of explaining why they're in the best place they can currently be and why they'd be worse off with GOP leadership. They do a shit job of explaining. Previous Message seriously, man. you're just parroting stupid talking points. 2% is a good inflation number. the economy sucked last year. 7.7% sucks (though still better than most of our peer countries, but i digress). if you're going to only look at the current numbers in combination with last year to frame it as a "Thanks Biden!!!!!", to get to 2% cumulatively, we'd have to have massive deflation at the moment. Which would be catastrophic for the economy. this shit really isn't that complicated, but it's more nuanced than the lens you use to view life through.
