Some context.

Following Covid the WHOLE WORLD
went thru a inflationary spike.
Biden kept ours relatively low.

Country........Inflation Rate

Canada............6.9
Australia.........7.1
United States.....7.7
Mexico............8.41
Germany...........10.4
Europe............10.6
United Kingdom....11.1
Italy.............11.8
Russia............12.6
Netherlands.......14.3
Turkey............85.51

> No wars.

Tell that to the Syrians
and Iraqis and Afghans.

> No 12 million or more illegal migrants.

Your unproven fantasy.

> Low crime.

Crime has fallen every year under
Biden, it actually went up in 2019
under Trump.

Assuming you are a millionaire.

That explains why Americans
are splurging on vacations and
new boats and new RV's and new
cars and holiday spending. Right.
