We can expect the Trump team to blame this on Biden. Unfortunately, many (most?) economists will succumb to confirmation bias and blame it on the deficit. This is a great opportunity for the profession to clearly distinguish between supply shocks and the deficit on inflation and I’d love to see it!

I lived through and have studied the 1970s version of these events. The economic profession took the wrong lessons from the period which has driven 50 yrs of bad policies. The pandemic data was interpreted through that same confirmation bias. Hopefully, we can now correct that error.
