Everything you wrote is spot on. That said, why aren't the Republicans refuting this bs and setting the record straight?

Government economics is a joke, but conservatives should be explaining all of this to the public - in a straightforward manner with illustrations and examples.

The rate of inflation was 1.4% in 2020. In 2021, after Biden took over, it was 7%. In 2022 it was 6.5%, and in 2023 it is 3.2% - still over twice what it was in Trump's last year in office.

If people spent $100.00 on groceries in December 2020, they paid $107.00 for the same groceries in December 2021, and then $114.00 for the same groceries in December of 2022. Despite the inflation rate decreasing to 3.2% in 2023, by the end of 2023 those same groceries cost $117.65.

The Republicans are worried that if they speak up, it might hurt Biden's chances of re-election.

That’s the best way to make it easily understood.

Because the majority of them in office are RINO traitors who don't want to do anything to help Trump in 2024.
