Biden's worst-case economic scenario is unfolding at the worst possible time

“The economic growth that the administration hoped would at least outstrip inflation's increase — and reverse some of that cumulative effect — is not.”

Biden's Build Back Better was an alliterative flop.  Bidenomics became just another iteration of 'Let's Go, Brandon!'  Ordinary people on Main Street have heard these promises before.  And they can see what's over the horizon.  When tech workers are being laid off in droves then who will save the...
