Biden got us back to full potential GDP despite it being the biggest global recession since the '08. I don't think people appreciate how rare a feat that is with the Great Recession causing a multi-trillion dollar GDP gap for years.

Inflation was coming for us anyway. Most of the developed world saw record inflation regardless of their fiscal policy. At least we had the type of nominal growth that stayed ahead of inflation for his entire term unlike other countries.

First, I was not disagreeing with you, just pointing out the irony. There was no need for the acrimonious response. Second, you might want to read the actual study instead of the write up on it. It’s far less clear on cause/effect. Don’t take it from me either:

The Science paper does not account for how overdose death rates fell in parts of the U.S. first, or how fatalities in more populous states can skew national statistics, said Nabarun Dasgupta, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He said fentanyl habits have been changing as fewer people start using it, and many users are cutting back or no longer using alone. “It’s not a straight line between drug supply and overdose deaths because of protective behaviors that have been adopted in between,” Dasgupta said.

The summit, however, happened months after overdose deaths had already begun to fall — a timing mismatch the researchers acknowledge.

The actual study also points to many other measures that were taken but it’s not clear which one was the main contributor.
