Stuart Varney: 401(k)s went 'straight down' under Biden
FOX Business host Stuart Varney argues anyone who owns stocks right now is 'feeling the pain' as the U.S. economy grapples with inflation.
During his "My Take" Wednesday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed the impact of President Biden's economic policies on Americans' wealth, arguing 401(k)s went "straight down" after Biden took office.
STUART VARNEY: Anyone who owns stock is feeling the pain. The rich, who own a lot of stock, are feeling intense pain.

The top 10 percent have lost over $8 trillion.

Same story: 401(k)s went straight up under Trump. He often boasted about it. And straight down under Biden, who says, "The stock market doesn’t necessarily reflect the state of the economy, as you well know. And the economy is still strong."
"The stock market doesn’t necessarily reflect the state of the economy, as you well know. And the economy is still strong."
In November’s elections, the market sell-off should be a big issue.
Voters will want to know who is responsible for this wealth destruction.
The Democrats will have a hard time blaming Trump.
And the Republicans have an easy target in Biden’s failed policies.
