Do you think Biden doing a "scorched earth" retreat while intentionally committing political suicide?

So I’d love lower taxes since most of it gets wasted anyways.
What’s the plan on tackling debt and inflation from either side? I’m all ears.

The spending started under Trump, so did the pandemic. The economy is in large part due to how Trump responded in 2020. I know, I know, it was everyone but Trump's fault when he was in office but all Biden's fault now. You can't put this all on Biden even though he has played a part as well.

Ah, it becomes clearer. It's called leave the crap scenario. You'll see exactly the same tactic in the UK before this years elections. IE. the outgoing party, Biden/Sunak, know they have absolutely no chance of winning so before they are voted out they cause massive problems (upping tax, spend excessively on vanity projects, promise the Earth) which greatly affect the population then the incoming people are in the sh## before they start. Then for the next few years the losers/opposition now can crow at the government that it's their fault that they can't cure the troubles straight away.
The added bonus comes with all the problems they are causing somewhere along the line they are juicing the system and pocketing millions.

Why didn't Trump make the middle and lower class tax cuts permanent like he did the corporate tax cuts? Seems a little weird to be holding Biden accountable for something Trump didn't take the initiative on when he had the chance.

The Republicans didn’t make the middle/lower class tax cuts permanent for the obvious reason that they could then make them into an election year issue in 2024.
Which is exactly what WMC is trying to do with this post.
“Vote Republican and we will renew the tax cuts. Vote Democrat and they will raise your taxes.” That’s their message.

You do realize the reason gas is higher is because of Trump right?
President BIDEN Vows to Make Americans Pay More Federal Taxes in 2025 - Political Suicide.

Yet I see Trump getting credit for the tax cuts all the time around here, ALL the time. Now all of a sudden when they don't look so great for him he had nothing to do with them? Classic. You guys have become experts at passing the buck for Trump when your ideology calls for it. 😂
Of course they had to make the individual taxes and and not the corporate. Corporate welfare with Trump as the face, can't get any more ironic than that.
