Anyone can "blame" someone for something. It takes no intellectual energy to throw blame around. If I wanted to, for example, I could "blame" the dot-com bust on the greed to the Clinton years. Or the near - death economy of the 70's on Carter.

Biden inherited low unemployment, low inflation, low energy prices, and a vaccine for Covid. We now have stratospheric inflation, rising energy prices that started with his order to shut down Keystone, and more deaths from Covid than ever, and one wonders about the long-term impact on the job market of all this. If we believe in the blame game, Biden has ascribed most of this to "Putin's War". I'll go with that explanation.... Blame..... whatever....
