The data wasn’t wrong. The data was deliberately falsified by the Biden Administration while Politico and the other Dem media stooges looked the other way.
Is Politico any better at reading the data today than they were a few months ago? Or just better at reading tea leaves or goat entrails?
Another excellent point. They deliberately tweaked the data to make it show what they wish the reality was, but no one with more than a few functioning. Brain cells believed it. Only liberals who got their talking points from MSMSNBC or CNN would come back from the grocery store and think their bill was reasonable because the TV said so.
