People will use bad analysis to play on your gut feelings because they want you to act a certain way. In this case, republican senators created a flawed analysis specifically to make people who feel like you do wrongly associate rising costs with democratic policy and policy makers. Whose best interest is it in to uncritically accept their analysis? Who gains from their overestimate?
I was simply saying it’s far easier to figure out how much inflation has effected you by looking at your monthly bills’ trend over the last few years. You have to be on another planet if you don’t think inflation has been awful. Some of that has been due to Democrats’ policies, some of it Republicans’, and the rest of it simple corporate greed. But none of that commentary was on my original comment.
Edit: I should add that the economy is far too complex and massive for one person to immediately impact it to that degree (barring some insane, drastic action). People who think the president has a magic economy and gas price button are idiots. Congress ultimately controls a large amount of economic impact (e.g. enacting the Build Back Better bill that Biden was the PR spokesperson for).

Huh? Where did I say anything about politics?
