Biden's bad luck with Inflation

High gas prices and inflation are killing Biden and Democrats in the polls. Republicans are loving it and are convinced it will win them back Congress in November. The media can't wait for divided government to return to DC so they can obsess about Trump and the Presidential election 24/7. Covering legislative battles isn't good for ratings.

The thing is, even if Biden had done absolutely nothing since becoming President the price of gas and groceries would still be high.

The American Rescue Plan and Infrastructure Bill were passed and have helped millions of Americans. And Biden and the Democrats reward is the strong possibility we're going to get blown out in the midterms.

Honestly Biden is a victim of bad luck. His administration did nothing to cause prices to go up and there's nothing he can do to lower them.

Unfortunately 60% of Americans don't get that.
Democrats help people when they're in power and get punished. Republicans do nothing and get rewarded. I'll never understand it.

Truth is, the Pres has little control over inflation or costs of everyday items. And when the gas companies want profits and to switch the Congress to repubs to kill the Green energy push...there you go.
