Biden demonstrated over almost fifty years in DC that he is a nasty opportunistic partisan who was willing to do whatever was required to advance Dem goals. All the more recent media bluster that he's a moderate, a nice guy, even grandfatherly, is just so much MSM booshwa.
This is probably a stretch but do you think the Dems or the government in general has said we need some inflation so we will help the Fed to make sure it happens????
