NY Times: Biden contributing to ‘own political woes’ by downplaying inflation, economic anxiety

The New York Times editorial board writes that even though President Biden has done good for the economy on paper, the American people are repeatedly displeased.

"Mr. Biden, however, has contributed to his own political woes. Through much of the fall, the president and other administration officials seemed to be downplaying the dangers of inflation," the editors wrote. "Mr. Biden’s insistence on this implausible narrative may be contributing to a sense that he is not taking inflation seriously."

The Times argued it’s hard for the American people to feel grateful for the president’s economic triumphs while the outlook is nothing but high prices.
