EUREKA! Politico Admits ‘Voters Were Right About’ Biden Economy, the ‘Data Was Wrong’
NewsBusters ^ | 2/12/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Politico may be trying to re-ingratiate itself with the American public after its government funding scandal by finally admitting what voters already knew about the Biden economy: It sucked.

“Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong,” read the eye-popping Politico magazine headline from Tuesday by author Eugene Ludwig, chairman of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity.

Ludwig recalled how “[m]any in Washington bristled at the public’s failure to register how strong the economy really was. They charged that right-wing echo chambers were conning voters into believing entirely preposterous narratives about America’s decline.”

But as Ludwig conceded, “What they rarely considered was whether something else might be responsible for the disconnect — whether, for instance, government statistics were fundamentally flawed.” No kidding!

“chairman of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity”

Well, Gene, you may have bought the fake numbers (or you may just be lying), but the average Joe without all your high-flying credentials knew Bidumb’s economy was in the toilet.

When they were spewing the bogus economic data, Biden was the candidate.

They’re just trying to save face in any way they can. There is zero chance that any thinking person would believe that the economy was just fine. Zero.
Also they expect us to believe an entity such as themselves that supposedly “speak truth to power” just believed the government lies hook, line, and sinker. Bull. They, just like all the rest, were in on the lie.

The Politico brand is dead. Lesson to all is that if you go woke you go broke
