    How would you like the President of the United States to do that? Do you think the President is a dictator that can just unilaterally pass sweeping legislation? How do you think the public would react if the President had the power to directly determine the prices of goods? How do you think that would go in general?

      The fact this is even in the negatives a tiny bit really demonstrates the typical political intelligence of your average voter.

      You’re of course completely correct, and Biden has indeed done everything he LEGALLY can do, which is probably why we’re suffering far less than a lot of the rest of the developed world economically speaking.

      People just like to shout at the wind, it seems.
