But happily,I have found him again at Drop Site News. A place for deep investigative journalism.

inflation was bad and it hurt a lot of folks but two things are true:

1. it hit the world, not just the US

2. we handled it better than basically everywhere else

the lesson politicians will take from this is that we should not do stimulus, because people hate inflation more than unemployment
When the media tell us the voters blame the Democrats for inflation, it's their way of saying "mission accomplished." If the media had routinely referred to the inflation accurately as "pandemic inflation," more people would recognize the pandemic as the cause.
I got this gem from Reuters just this morning.
