Saru Jayaraman tried. As far back as January, the president of low-pay campaign group One Fair Wage recalls telling Democratic leaders in Washington DC that voters were worried about the cost of living.
I mean, in the link Biden was taking credit for corporations’ press releases about not gouging prices as severely as they had been for the previous three years when Biden just sat back and watched.

You’re saying that Biden was taking credit for the corporations lowering the price of gas
No, that’s not what I’m saying. Did you even read the headline of the link you posted? I was talking about the content of the link you posted, which doesn’t even mention gasoline.
You either didn’t read what you linked to, or you have decided that you want to lie about me and my position. And since we’ve talked before, I’m not going to make the mistake of giving you the benefit of the doubt again. You lied about my position, and since I replied to your diversion about gas prices, you’re going to continue lying and pretending that I was always talking about gas prices.
Corporations: Here’s a press release saying we intend to lower prices.
Biden: I’m gonna take credit for their PR move.
what are you talking about?
Biden released a billion barrels of gas and gas prices went down.

No. Go pull this shit on someone else.
“Go pull this shit…”

i will go pull “facts” again.
Thank you for confirming that my decision to not give you the benefit of the doubt was correct.
“Thank you…”
you’re welcome!
“…was correct”
you were incorrect, since

He did neither, the president does not have those capabilities.
I made no claims regarding gas prices, and already addressed your link about grocery prices.
