Frida Ghitis: President Biden, Democrats in Congress, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Fed Chair Jay Powell have orchestrated a reckless trashing of our economy. Ghitis says the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank is Exhibit A for Bidens failures. She says the go-to response by the White House has been to blame President Trump for loosening regulations on regional banks in 2018, but Biden failed to reassure the nation that our banking system is sound.
