I'm retired, I got a huge raise from Biden. Stop personalizing this, like I'm making an emotional plea. You got it wrong. Having the "facts" all lined up doesn't win you the election, never will.

Fight for your faults and you get to keep them.

The job when running for president is to give people a vision of your leadership that excites them. If instead you spend your time and money against your opponent without making a case for yourself, you get lost elections.

Because stop me if I'm wrong, but when prices go up and salaries don't, then that's having a lasting impact. And if you haven't done anything about that lasting impact, you haven't done enough, or convinced enough.

Presidents don't have a magic lever to adjust for price of goods or price of labor.

Bully Pulpit. That's what you've got. So preach.

They can implement price controls via executive order. They can also remove tariffs.

Remove the 25% tariff on Chinese goods, and then set prices of the biggest offenders to something punishing and watch the rest stop jacking up prices.

Price controls, rent controls, tariffs, company breakup, nationalization. Neoliberalism isn't and hasn't been the only state a capitalist economy can exist in.
