United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

Blame everything on Nixon and Ford. You sound like Obama defending another one term wonder in Biden.
Carter was a really smart guy and his knowledge of nuclear energy was impressive, but you give him way too much credit.

It's just factual that Nixon deliberately unleashed inflation on purpose and then responded by imposing price and wage controls.

Just like it's factual that Carter was the Great Deregulator:


Carter was blamed like Trump being blamed for COVID job losses, you get blamed for what happens when you're in office even if it's not your fault. People want to believe the President is God-King presiding over a socialist nation. "If only the Czar/Stalin knew..."

Biden and Harris can be attacked for inflation because their response is to do things that would increase it and nothing to stop it. Ideally, both candidates would be against it and the things that cause it, as Reagan and Carter both were. (Reagan was willing to shoulder the blame of what Volcker was doing because of what would happen on the other side rather than abandon killing inflation for more Nixon policies that everyone in DC including members of his Administration were calling for. Similar to how he stood his ground on the tax cuts.) But that's not what we were offered this time.
