Biden and harris didn't do anything to stop inflation? They passed multiple bills explicitly targeting it.You do know we are handling inflation better than others specifically because Biden focused on it right?

Lol no, the Democrats did the classic Congress custom of passing a bill that is named exactly the opposite of what it is. The Inflation Reduction Act was a massive spending bill that contributed to higher inflation. I didn't see a single thing that the previous administration did to lower inflation in a noticeable way. They did drain the strategic petroleum reserve to record lows which did approximately fuck all for gas prices, and put the country in a strategically bad spot.
