Daniel Campbell, Most reasonable people understand when there’s a pandemic around, economic information is misleading

Since the pandemic was over beginning in September 2020, America is recovery in so far as jobs are created is nothing more than Americans returning to work. While it is statistically a fact unemployment drop from 14.3% to 6.3% between the months of September 2020 and January 20 21, it did not happen through any policies which any government official created as it was a normal consequence of people going back to work. That continued in 2021 after Joe Biden became president. Neither Trump nor Biden gets credit for any job numbers because it was a normal consequence of returning to work after a pandemic

But we can equate Joe Biden turned a 1.4% inflation rate which was January 2021 and has parlayed that seven times

November 2020 - 1.2%
December 2020 - 1.4%
January 2021 - 1.4%
February 2021 - 1.7%
March 2021 - 2.6%
April 2021 - 4.2%
May 2021 - 5.0%
June 2021 - 5.4%
July 2021 - 5.4%
August 2021 - 5.3%
September 2021 - 5.4%
October 2021 - 6.2%
November 2021 - 6.8%
December 2021 - 7%
January 2022 - 7.5%
February 2022 - 7.9%
March 2022 - 8.5%

That’s Biden’s economy
