Good for Biden! I listened to his inflation speech yesterday, and he did a fine job of explaining the current economic situation. It was not the first time he’s done so, but this talk to America seemed more to the point. And I like how he keeps talking about the “Putin price increase,” which is an entirely fair point. I also appreciate the little bit of fear he used by asking voters to imagine how things would be under RepubliKKKlan control. The fear imagery, however, needed to be starker. And I like his new attacks on “ultra-MAGA,” although he hasn’t quite figured out how to make the pejorative roll off the tongue. All that being said, Americans are unlearnable! Even though Biden needs and should be “teaching” the basics of economics, the role of the Federal Reserve, and inflation to America, people are not smart enough to digest the content, no matter how dumbed-down Biden’s lesson to the country, for, in the end, Americans only apprehend economics via how much it costs to fill up their car and what a steak costs. So, Biden can do (and should continue to do) all the explaining he wants, but I fear it will fall on deaf and dumb ears. I cannot fault him for trying! Welcome to stupid America!
