In the 1980 presidential campaign, the Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, said, "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." The Gipper turned out to be correct. The gale-force winds of rising inflation had knocked working-class people to the ground, with paychecks shrinking month after month. Reagan wound up winning a landslide victory, and Carter was bounced out of office.

The middle class hates inflation. The New York Times recently surmised that the effects of inflation are mostly "psychological," and that people should appreciate that "the U.S. economy is doing well." Wrong. People feel the impact of rising prices daily. It doesn't just make them FEEL poorer. They are poorer.

Diaper brain can't learn not to open his pudding too fast and scare himself.

Surely, you jest.

The best thing to happen to Jimmer’s Presidential rating is Biden’s lack of one.

[MNJohnnie]

Biden went to DC in 1972 and leaned not a single thing since. He is running all the old plays from the 1970s Democrat Marxist Party playbook

Creepy Joe DOESN’T CARE. Period.

False premise - Brandon cannot learn anything.

Will Joe Biden Learn Jimmy Carter's Inflation Lesson?

He can't form a coherent sentence let alone learn something.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I don’t really care if Brandon learns anything. It’s the American people who are going to get a repeat performance of what they already know.

Will President Retard learn to stop making up fake stories? 🤪

Well all know the answer.

[Spok]

The media is absolutely determined not to link inflation to deficit spending, or “quantitative easing “ as it’s called now, but they’re still reporting that inflation is a problem. They’re also reporting that overdoses are burgeoning without mentioning that Fentanyl is crossing our southern border in a torrent. They are determined not to say anything that might reflect poorly on Clueless Joe.

If someone has not learned something in decades how will they learn it when they have lost any semblance of a fastball they once possessed?

[beethovenfan]

NO

[Chode]

LOL... when you realize it’s not a case of learning, everything is going to plan...

“There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”

[TornadoAlley3]

No. He was the dumbest man in the senate. He even admitted it in the 80s.

[Belteshazzar]

The simple answer is no. Joe has learned very little after 50 years in D.C.

[cgbg]

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

The modern version are going to be playing Russian Roulette with booster after booster after booster....

[libertylover]

More likely he’ll double-down on stupid.

[right way right]

I don’t think he cares.
