Truth and facts matter.
True, for once in your life.
Also, Presidents have little control over inflation or most economic situations driven by the free market. If they did, wouldn't that be uh, socialism or somethin?
The current situation is worldwide and hardly limited to the US and its also driven in significant measure by simple corporate greed. Margins in many businesses are up, companies are jacking prices under the guise of "needing to" when its simply "able to".
The "supply chain" problems are real in a few industries but contrived and leveraged in others.
