Also the infrastructure bill is basically a jobs bill for men without college degrees. |

Biden’s economic problem is that he isn’t on TV every day talking about how “this is the greatest economy” the country has ever seen.
Trump doesn’t understand much, but he sure gets self promotion. Biden needs more of that. |
No, that is not Biden's problem. Biden's problem is that his administration is trying to convince people that this is the greatest economy ever, but we know better. We know we are paying higher prices for everything and inflation is impacting the day to day living of Americans. We know that inflation is outpacing wage gains. We know it costs a lot more to fill our gas tanks. We know that Joe's only strategy for dealing with the economy is to spend more of the American people's money. IOW - we know this is NOT a great economy. |
Let me guess, you voted for Trump? |
I paid 2.84 for gas yesterday. It’s not actually gloom and doom. The shelves were full for Christmas. Things are good. |
A BS claim. Do you ever get tired of lying? Biden’s false claim that no one but the rich got Trump’s tax cuts https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/01/bidens-false-claim-that-no-one-rich-got-trumps-tax-cuts/ IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/584190-irs-data-prove-trump-tax-cuts-benefited-middle-working-class-americans-most The Trump Tax Cut Wasn’t Just for the Rich https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-27/the-trump-tax-cut-wasn-t-just-for-the-rich |
Let me guess. You are part of the 1% and less affected by inflation than the middle and lower class families. |

I think the economy is better than it has been in a long time and that many right wingers are trying to paint a picture of a bad economy by slinging mud. This article is very compelling:

Good article. Thanks for posting. |
Yes, there is inflation. It is a natural economic reaction to a strong recovery. You seem to prefer the US remain in a recession. Why? |
| I just drove 2000 miles through Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and back. Gas averaged $3/gallon. Similar cost as the same trip in the past 20 years. What is everyone complaining about? |
Travel to a real state and report back. Here in NY it’s 4.50 and I don’t really care because it’s meaningless to me but it’s ridiculous to pretend gas prices haven’t spiked. |
