It went up under a Democratic president. It went down under a Democratic president. It continued to drop a bit under a Republican president. Now it's going up under a Republican president.
Meanwhile the rest of the world was going through inflation problems from 21-23 too. As far as I can tell Biden was never president of Europe or Latin America or the other continents. Why don't you do about 30 seconds of research and look at the global chart

In the US it peaked in June 2022 at a little over 9%. Over the next 4 months leading up to the midterm election it dropped 1.5% then continued dropping for the next 2 years or so, following the trend it was already on.

You can look it up yourself.
The inflation rate started going up about seven months into Biden's presidency and went up and up and up.
Until in 2023 when the GOP took the House and that is when it started going down and continued to decrease.
The Dems increased spending to cure inflation.
Which is about the time inflation really took off. -

None of you have ever even attempted to answer this question: Why did the entire rest of the world have the same inflation problems at that same time? You always conveniently ignore that part. Was Biden in charge of the other countries too?

Because the Dems needed to pay off their political benefactors and, after the covid crisis had largely been dealt with, you decided to spend and spend and spend and spend and spend.
Almost immediately and that was on top of the spending Trump did because he had a China virus to deal with. The one you liberals swore never came out of the Wuhan lab. The one you liberals said science proved was from a cave and ended up in bat soup. LOL
How much money did you think Biden spent on green energy initiatives that went nowhere? About a trillion dollars? Sure, it made some of his supporters rich but it also diminished the value of the dollar and that was at a time when we had already had to spend a lot on China virus relief. -

Nice incoherent tangent. It addressed none of what I asked you.
/. also wants you to know this in case you have it blocked
I think he block Slashdot. Let him know I dismantled everything he said and I called him retarded. -

What kind of retard blocks slashdot?
I block /. because it/they don’t want to post under their main, and the majority who use that account are useless human beings lacking in any cognitive ability.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -

Incoherent? LOL
I notice you never address the fact inflation went up the first two years of Biden's presidency. And you can look that up.
And it was only when the GOP won back the House that inflation started to go back down.
Those are facts.
Address those facts. -

Me and /. already completely disproved that one with about 20 seconds of combined research yet you're still repeating it.
