Standard operating procedure when a Republican is president. When Biden was potato in chief, it was silence, silence, silence as gas, food, and interest rates skyrocketed.
Actually, it wasn't silence. It was the MSM telling us almost daily, that the economy was awesome, and that somehow, we stupid sheeple just couldn't see it, and that somehow, massive inflation was nothing to be worried about. It was "Who are you gonna believe? The MSM, or your lying eyes/bank accounts?"
Nothing new here. When Carter was the President, the media sugar coated a bad economy. When Reagan got in, it was all hands on deck bad news. The economy was crashing and Reagan was going to get us into WW 3 with the soviet union.
