Wall Street Gives Biden a Thumbs Up (But Maybe Not a Full High Five)

Main Street’s Not Sold: “Show Me the Money, Joe!”
But wait, there’s a plot twist! While Wall Street’s busy popping champagne, everyday Americans are left scratching their heads. The cost of, well, everything seems to be skyrocketing faster than a SpaceX rocket. Groceries? Through the roof. Gas? Don’t even get me started. Rent? Forget about it.
