Surprise! The media just discovered Bidenomics works.
The Washington Post ^ | January 9, 2025 7:45 AM EST | Jennifer Rubin

The New York Times wrote a few days ago, “President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.” Just how good are things? Here’s how the Times described the state of the economy:

For the first time since that transition 24 years ago, there will be no American troops at war overseas on Inauguration Day. New data reported in the past few days indicate that murders are way down, illegal immigration at the southern border has fallen even below where it was when Mr. Trump left office and roaring stock markets finished their best two years in a quarter-century.

The Financial Times reported last week on “why America’s economy is soaring ahead of its rivals.” Time published an essay in November that said, “President-elect [Donald] Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history which is the envy of the world.”

Gosh, you are not alone if you are wondering where such upbeat reporting has been for the past few years. After all, “The economy had a strong 2024: robust growth, low unemployment and inflation descending to 3%,” former car czar Steve Rattner told us. Moreover, he has said, “All told, Biden has added 693,000 factory jobs while Trump added just 425,000 before Covid hit.7 ... The rate of grocery inflation — particularly troubling for everyday Americans ­— has subsided to less than 1.6%.” Real median incomes are higher than when Trump left office, border crossings are lower.

Jennifer's nose must be really long by now.

Rather, Jennifer Rubbin’s nose must be really brown by now.

I agree, Bidenomics works....

Stealing money from taxpayers worldwide and taking bribes can make one amazingly wealthy.

Long and brown are not mutually exclusive.

Depends how you choose to measure “prosperity”. The economic health of Wall Street is used by the elites. But if you use the economic collapse of Main Street, where the real people live, then inflation driven collapse is all too real.

Billionaires did great under Biden, the rest of us, not so much.

Yeah right, that’s why interest rates just went over 5% as the Fed is worried about increasing inflation again

Explain why the underwear is locked up in upscale areas but at a Wallys in a lower economic area with lots of homeless, nothing is locked up. Yup you got it higher income people are always thieves and clean underwear is a number one tatget.

A “great” economy would not have changed his coup-inspiring debate performance

Just look at all the retail stores closing their doors this week. That tells me the story of Bidenomocs
Americans are too broke to buy anything after paying bills and buying groceries. That's the headline. our local food pantry has seen a huge increase in people needing assistance. I live in CT and it's bad here. People can't make ends meet anymore. The economy sucks like Joe Biden at a little girl's birthday party.
