Subject: Re: Economic Disconnect
"Since Joe Biden is president, many Republicans will continue to describe the economy as poor. This is reflected in the CNN poll, where 54% of Republicans describe the economy as "very poor," compared to just 15% of Democrats."

I have a few Trump supporters in my social circle. We don't talk much about the "divide", but
every once in awhile opinions are swapped. They like to brag about how great the economy was in the Trump years, how it was going gangbusters ( their words, I've seen the #'s so I know better ).
So I'd be remiss if I didn't point out to them how the Trump tax cuts, during a "gangbusters" period of economic growth, were like throwing gas on the inflation fire. They don't want to hear that, though. They definitely don't want to hear that under Biden, the USA has actually fared better than the rest of the world.
The inflation genie has been let out of the bottle. It may slow, but it's not going to go negative, so prices are not going to come down, corporations will not lower prices once they've gotten consumers used to paying the elevated prices. I feel bad for people on the financial edge, they are getting hit hard by this. This is a huge issue for millions of Americans.
