Unemployment was high when the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law.
Inflation was high when the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law.
Both are low today. And this was accomplished with high GDP growth, no recession, and real wage growth.

The U.S. economy has not only avoided recession. It’s growing faster. Oct. 24, 2024
High interest rates have less effect on growth
"The U.S. recession that was supposed to happen now appears to have become the economic expansion that just won’t end. The economy is on track to show unexpectedly brisk growth for the second quarter in a row. And it shows little sign of hitting the brakes. This wasn’t supposed to happen... GDP is the official scorecard of the economy. Until very recently, analysts believed the economy could only grow only about 1.8% a year under ideal conditions. Now that assumption is being questioned. Three years of high inflation has left millions of households stretched, especially lower-income families. Hiring has tapered off and the unemployment rate has topped 4% for the first time in more than three years."
