Watching the progressive commentary over the @JoeSquawk - @PeteButtigieg spat is enlightening because it shows how little the left knows about economics, or understands economic history. Buttigieg is literally taking credit for bringing the RATE of inflation down by the end of the Biden presidency, ignoring the fact that he RATE hit 9% and prices remained elevated throughout the @JoeBiden years because of trillions of dollars in unnecessary fiscal stimulus and Fed money printing. Prices NEVER came down; it's one big reason @KamalaHarris lost (that plus the Dem Party believes men can be women and women men, but I'll save that for another posting). @realDonaldTrump inherited those elevated prices. He also grew the economy without a massive uptick in inflation. Ok the war will have an economic impact, but the people who think this guy "won" an argument about inflation really need to take econ 101. Also where was Pete during the supply-chain crisis? Paternity leave? What a joke
