@dylanmatt.bsky.social it's, um, not so great you used a 2022 analysis near US peak inflation to claim "economists…attributed abt 3 percentage points of inflation to excessive stimulus", when from 2021-01 to 2024-11 the US experience was about the same as the EU and Eurozone on OECD numbers. 1/

"overall price increases could have been reduced, perhaps even halved." is also misleading, since the peak you claim might have halved was quite narrow. again, given global experience since 2022, this analysis on which your diagnosis of Biden's failure largely hangs, strikes me as tendentious. 2/
