The U.S. economy is rebounding vigorously from the COVID-19 recession. That ought to be lifting the public's spirits, but Americans instead are increasingly preoccupied by two distressing pandemic legacies — soaring prices and gun violence.

In New York City, for example, serious crimes jumped by nearly 39 percent ([link removed]) in January, prompting civil rights leader Al Sharpton to call the situation “out of control.” President Biden ([link removed]) traveled to Manhattan last week for a high-profile confab ([link removed]) with newly-elected Mayor Eric Adams ([link removed]) , who has made public safety his top priority.

It was a smart move, because Adams is just what Biden and his party need now to refurbish their credentials as credible crime fighters.
