This week, Matt and Brian take a wide-angle view of new data showing inflation and violent crime way down:

* Why is good economic news so tricky for Joe Biden to capitalize on?

* How can Biden remind voters that Trump handed him a depressed economy with broken supply chains, and that Biden fixed both unemployment and inflation?

* Is it fair to tag Trump with the 2020 economic collapse and crime surge?

Then, behind the paywall, we home in specifically on the crime issue, where the case that Biden saved the country from Trump’s failures is strongest: Why did murders explode in 2020? To what extent is Trump to blame for fomenting criminal activity or for discouraging fair, legitimate policing? How did Biden manage to get a handle on both sides of that equation so quickly?
