I'm having trouble believing I'm reading this correctly. Otherwise, it doesn't make a very strong case for Biden. Let me know. My calculations are below.
US Average Increase now: (3.06-2.40)/2.4 = 27.5% increase over 3 years
US Average: 1/20/2021: about $2.40
(12/11 to 3/9 is 88 days - 1/20/2021 is 40 days - not quite halfway between)
($0.46 between $2.21 and $2.67 - not halfway there)
US Average: 1/30/2024: about $3.06
($0.47 between $2.67 and $3.14 - about 5/6 of the way to $3.14, so $0.08 less than 3.14 is 3.06)
CA using the same approach: (4.5-3.34)/3.34 = 34.7% increase over 3 years
This doesn't make a good case for Biden - especially considering that for most of the 3 years, it was more than this - considerably more for about a year's worth of time. Then I remember his foreign policy "accomplishments" and his "success" at our borders. Yeah, inflation may be his best accomplishment.
Convincing idealogues is a losing battle. They'll excuse anything (with data that doesn't excuse it, evidently) while claiming they are rational and middle of the road. I didn't vote for Trump either time he ran. But if he's the Republican nominee, I can't see voting for anyone else in a two-person race unless it's Kennedy. The funny thing is, I don't think any more of Trump now than I did when I didn't vote for him.
