Biden Says Don't Blame Me for Rising Inflation

President Joe Biden says he's not to blame for rising inflation. "Do I take the blame for inflation? No," Biden said in response to a question. "Because it was already there when I got here."

Biden refused to take questions from the press about anything besides the economy this morning at the White House.

Remember when he was saying inflation didn’t exist, and now he’s saying it was there when he arrived?

He's right about inflation, it was already there at a staggering 1.4% when he took office and then reached a high of 8.6% just two years later. Good job Joe.

I went to the grocery store today. Eggs are 10.99 for a dozen. 5 pieces of chicken was $25.00. This is unbelievable. I can’t believe this is life anymore.

How can we not? He shut off our energy independence from the get go. Too many to list that went very wrong since. Scary times. 😔

Give the poor old man a break. He worked about 5-8 hours last week and he's exhausted. Might be time for another "break". He's also tired of lying. Like saying that his son Beau died in Iraq. The truth is his son passed away in the good old USA from brain cancer. As tragic and sad it is to lose a child lying about it for sympathy is 100% worse.

It happened because you started a war.

You're not a loser until you blame someone else.

'Come on man!' 'Damn these questions are stupid.' This is the President of the USA. Sad world.

Just accept your responsibility like a leader. It ain't a blame game

Where do they pull these numbers from? All I hear is layoffs in the thousands: Paypal, Amazon, Sachs, IBM, Spotify, Google, on and on...

Inflation is out of control Mr President and you did nothing to stop it when you created inflation.
