The leftist Washington Post just can’t resist treating Americans as if they’re just dumb for thinking Bidenomics is a disaster despite their ongoing economic hardships.
The Post ran a condescending headline on Nov. 13 that was about as stupid as it was patronizing: “The economy is booming, but inflation continues to sour Americans.” The sub-headline was just as ridiculous: "Rising wages and strong economic growth haven’t been enough to convince voters that the president’s policies are working for them." The leftist rag gaslighted voters by making it seem like they shouldn’t believe their lying eyes about the cost-of-living crisis they’re facing: “Most Americans are financially better off than they were before the coronavirus pandemic, but they feel worse about their economic prospects.” In essence, Americans are supposedly just making up the fact that “Inflation has outpaced wage growth since 2021,” as investment company Social Finance (SoFi) reported on Oct. 31. “Since the start of 2020, the cost of living rose 18.3%, compared to a 17.6% increase for wages. This has resulted in negative nominal wage growth for the average American. In other words, your paycheck simply isn’t going as far,” SoFi concluded.

Quarter-pounder meal in SC was $11.
I haven’t been to McDonald’s in 6 months or so an I was really surprised.
“10% Biden” is in the WH (well, some of the time), so everything is hunky dory.
LUCKY US.
As long as you don’t count rising food, energy, housing, transportation costs, high credit card debt, defunct savings, low wages (if you’re lucky enough to even have a job), and literally everything else that has to do with personal money in Biden’s frail hands.
“You are not hurting financially. Just because you can’t afford rent, are hungry, and can’t do anything except survive doesn’t mean anything. Stop whining, you complainers!” — Biden admin spox
White liberal ‘elties’ who live in the zip codes clustered around Washington DC ARE doing well... These are some of the wealthiest zip codes in the county. No economic pain in ‘sell off your country for cash’ areas.
Idiots at WaPo just smile because they know “NewsBuster” is correct, but everyone reads the WaPo lies so it must be true.
The LBTQIA mask keeps slipping.
Remember when they ‘said,’ “all the wanted to do was to come out of the closet?”

“Like they’re stupid...”. Been proven again and again voters ARE stoopid!
If I have to work two jobs already, the low unemployment rate means nothing to me. If I’m on a fixed income, the drop in the inflation rate doesn’t help me, it only hurts me marginally less. Talking about “building the middle class” is a cruel joke, if I’m at risk for layoff. If I have to borrow money at 28% to pay my bills each month, “robust consumer spending” is an insult. Macro statistics mean nothing in the lives of the average American, only meaningful to academic and government eggheads.
The Washinton Pist is an insult to everyone’s intelligence, period.
$9-$10 for a fast food meal is standard now.
Expect this to be the standard media position on the economy for the next 12 months.
Drivel like a recent Vox article - “The problem isn’t inflation - it’s the prices!”
And they wonder why trust in the media as an institution is at all-time lows.
Ray Kroc was building the McD’s franchise and sent a letter to Walt Disney WRT to a McDonald’s in the Disney Development.”
Most likely the letter was returned without approval but the legend goes that Kroc embellished the incident saying Disney supposedly wanted to increase fries’ price from ten cents to fifteen cents.
Kroc-—always wanting to make himself look good-—claims he refused, not wanting to “gouge” his loyal customers.
Disneyland opened without a McDonald’s restaurant.
