Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    I mean it’s not great, but inflation did come way down right? As I said above it doesn’t make up for the inflation that already happened which makes our dollars worth so much less.

      Yes inflation eventually came down, thanks largely to the Fed finally having interest rates. Even then it’s only come down to the high side of acceptable.
