If FOX and friends don't like the numbers, they can blame Biden or Pelosi. Sound unreasonable? My BIL from Mississippi was ranting last weekend about how all the woes befalling the universe, especially his pocketbook issues, were Biden and Pelosi's fault. I was strongly rebuffed when I pointed out the obvious, so I just resorted to gusto laughing at all stupids without comment. Strangely, he didn't react to my laughter but just raged away nonstop.
