Because stop me if I'm wrong, but when prices go up and salaries don't, then that's having a lasting impact. And if you haven't done anything about that lasting impact, you haven't done enough, or convinced enough.

Presidents don't have a magic lever to adjust for price of goods or price of labor.

Price controls, rent controls, tariffs, company breakup, nationalization. Neoliberalism isn't and hasn't been the only state a capitalist economy can exist in.

They can implement price controls via executive order. They can also remove tariffs.

Remove the 25% tariff on Chinese goods, and then set prices of the biggest offenders to something punishing and watch the rest stop jacking up prices.
