Bidens work took some time to get there agreed. It was fine when he took office at 1.4% and then second half of 2022

You have a decent analogy, wrong numbers and dates though

U.S. inflation at 9.1 percent, a record high

Surging prices for gas, food and rent catapulted U.S. inflation to a new four-decade peak in June, further pressuring households and likely sealing the case for another large interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, with higher borrowing costs to follow.
