No one doubts that the fiscal buzzword of the moment is "Bidenomics." The question at hand is whether President Joe Biden will be able to wear it proudly as a badge, or his Republican adversaries will hang it around his neck like an albatross.
Biden himself plainly sees it as a net positive. During his appearance in Chicago on June 28 to talk up his economic message, the term was emblazoned on the podium and on bunting draped around the hall.
Republicans inevitably see it as just the opposite. "Highest inflation in 40 years. 24 straight months of pay cuts. 37.2% increase in energy prices. That's Bidenomics in action," Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., tweeted that same day.
