Joe Biden knows nothing about economics.
Prices for everything have skyrocketed under Biden, making Americans have to pay hundreds more a month for things like groceries. Under Biden, inflation has been as high as 9 percent. That's at least in part because of Joe Biden's overspending. It was 1.4 when he came in.
But for a long time, his team even denied inflation was happening, claiming it was transitory. Now you would think the answer to cutting inflation would involve at least cutting or holding back on spending. But that would be counter to how Democrats operate.
If we didn't already know Biden knows nothing, he proved it with a comment he made when he was asked what was he doing to help bring prices down.
"For many Americans, those paychecks aren't going far," Biden was asked by Reshad Hudson in Scranton. "When you look at the price of things like eggs are so expensive, how do you bring prices down?"
Biden claims his plan to lower prices (which are up 19.4% since he took office) is "making sure corporate profits are brought under control."

Biden's response?
“Well, we work to get those prices down by making sure corporate profits are brought under control."
First, can we talk about the Communism in that policy? Joe, in America, the government doesn't dictate price controls or corporate profits It's disturbing that he would even say that.
Second, you don't keep prices down by reducing corporate profits. That would make things even crazier and cause companies to flee to escape whatever he has in mind. He talks about people paying their fair share, of course, leaving out that the rich do indeed pay their fair share, paying most of the taxes.
He wants to control corporations, what he refuses to control is government spending. This is about overspending, not corporate profits, But if Biden admitted that, he would have to admit his responsibility and he would have to rein in his spending. That he doesn't want to do. It's like previous blaming hikes in prices on Vladimir Putin -- everyone is responsible except Joe Biden. He just wants to keep spending, blaming the rich, and then taxing people even more.
He said he thinks he can get his "plan" passed when they win the House and the Senate, "and God willing with the creek not rising, I’ll be president again."
Fat chance that you get into the Senate, that's not happening. The creek is going to rise and sweep you out come the election in November.
When he was asked about the lawfare being pursued against his political opponent, former President Donald Trump, he claimed Trump's "lack of ethics has nothing to do with me."
Sure, that's why Democrats were trying to boot him off the ballot. Because you guys care so much about "democracy."
