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. -

You can look at the rate of inflation for each month of Biden's presidency.
Please do that. -

I did. In fact, I posted a link for you. If you knew how to read you'd see the chart clearly proves you wrong because it peaked almost 6 months before the election and had dropped 1.6% between then and the mid terms. In the following two years it basically continued dropping at a similar rate to what it was already doing before the election.
In summary, you are completely wrong. -

Hey, Kepler, here are the inflation rates under Biden. You will notice when Biden took over the inflation rate was very low. You will notice it creeping up as his wondrous presidency crept along. I copied and pasted it for you. It only started going down when the GOP took the House. I have now told you this four times. What part of that do you not understand?

Thanks for confirming everything I said. Your horribly formatted table shows maximum of 9.1 in May 2022. It also shows that between that date and the midterm elections inflation had already dropped from 9.1% to 7.7%. Then it continued the already downward trend for a little bit.
If you made the argument that the market was already expecting Republican wins and that caused inflation to go down it would will be retarded, but at least it would show you have the minimum IQ required to read a chart. -

Are you stupid? LOL
The cash Biden spent immediately takes time to get into the economy and as it did inflation rose and rose and rose and didn't start to go down until the Dems lost the HOUSE.
You have to have all this explained to you?
Are you 6 years old?
I sure hope so, you are utterly clueless.
You can't even read simple numbers.
Yes, 9% is MUCH higher than 2%.
Make sure you read that slowly and have someone standing by to jiggle your head if you get stuck with such complex numbers, Jethro.
