Economy putting Biden on the defensive

 Washington Examiner:

President Joe Biden finds himself on the defensive over the economy, even as he presides over an emergence from the pandemic opening the spigots of job creation and growth.

Yet, when Biden spoke about the economy on Monday, he found himself fending off concerns about inflation and a plummeting stock market that served as a poor backdrop for what were supposed to be celebratory remarks.

“Some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent inflation,” Biden said at the White House. “But that’s not our view. Our experts believe, and the data shows, that most of the price increases we’ve seen are — were expected and expected to be temporary.”
...

Inflation is built into his energy policies.  He is deliberately driving up the price of oil and gas while trying to replace both with inefficient and unreliable alternative energy which costs more.  They have this goofy idea that wind and solar can replace fossil fuels and at the same time charge electric cars.  California is living proof that this is a bad idea.  Driving up the cost of fuel drives up the price of all goods and services that rely on transporation.  It drives up the cost of production of food and getting it to market.

Biden and the Democrats seem to be loaded with bad ideas that are costly to most Americans.
