Joe Biden's term of office will be over this week and I think he has been a very good president. To be classified as "great" a president has to serve two terms, or to be assassinated to prevent that from happening. But I would classify Joe Biden as very good.
Joe Biden presided over the "Decade From Hell". But that was because of global issues and wasn't at all his fault. The U.S. President had no control over the Covid pandemic that did so much to set the world back.
The inflation that we have been dealing with for the past few years has nothing at all to do with the president. It is because the Baby Boom Generation has been retiring by the millions. There is more old people, relative to young people, than ever before. Retired people are still consuming goods and services, but are not producing them anymore. That raises the ratio of consumers to producers, and this is what is causing inflation.
High fuel prices contributed to inflation because goods have to be transported and, when fuel gets expensive, it makes everything else more expensive. But this wasn't the president's fault. There was not so much a shortage of oil as a shortage of refineries. With electric vehicles on the horizon, oil companies don't want to invest the tremendous amount of money that it takes to open a refinery.
Joe Biden's performance in the debate with Donald Trump had nothing to do with senility. Joe Biden suffers a little bit from stuttering. I used to suffer from it myself and I recognized it immediately.
President Biden was like a captain steering a ship through some wild storms and I think he did a pretty good job of it. Now he is closing out his term with a peace agreement in Gaza.
