So Putin didn't do it after all. Sorry, Joe.

So Putin didn't do it after all.

That's the uncomfortable-for-Joe-Biden verdict on inflation from Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, in testimony to Congress yesterday.

According to Fox News:

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Wednesday appeared to contract President Biden's repeated insistence that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was the primary driver behind inflation in the U.S.

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., got Powell to admit that inflation was high well before Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

Hagerty noted that in December 2021, inflation has risen to 7% β€” up from 1.4% in January 2021, when President Biden took office. Since Russian tanks rolled across the border of Ukraine, inflation has risen incrementally to its current level of 8.6%.

With these statistics stated, Hagerty asked Powell if he believed the war in Ukraine was the "primary driver" of inflation as the Biden administration has tried to portray.

Trump-Russia collusion worked so well for the Dems that they keep trying the same recipe.

Jerome Powell. Trump nominated him. Biden renominated him. They agree on him.

I doubt it will stop Biden as his “everything I do to you that is ruining you is all because of Putin” talk.

It should put a stop to it, but we are dealing with sloppy Joe here.

Fed chief Powell makes Biden look like a boob - and he wasn’t even trying. Biden manages to tie himself into knots like it was some kind of art form.

A not very graceful art. Can Biden even get out of his own way?
