TAKE YOUR PILLS: NYT’s Peter Coy Exclaims Biden’s Handling of Economy ‘Good, If Not Great’
NewsBusters ^ | 1/15/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

New York Times writer Peter Coy once again kissed the ring of Bidenomics by actually having the gall to bemoan in writing how President Joe Biden wouldn’t be remembered for the marvelous way he handled the economy.

We’re still waiting for the punchline.

Coy mourned the “Tragedy of Joe Biden” in a January 10 column, crying over how Biden was essentially relegated to the background “like a ghost — stiff, wan, often unseen by the public.” Coy didn’t get to the second paragraph before turning his piece into a comedy strip, “It is a crushing end to his presidency. He had some remarkable achievements when it comes to the economy, but he couldn’t shape the narrative around his own record.” Uh, that’s because the economy doesn’t agree with this narrative. After Coy complained against voter “disappointment” standing in the way of Biden’s greatness, he then dropped the following acid: “In reality, Biden’s handling of the economy was good, if not great.” [Emphasis.]

Newsflash Coy: Telling voters they’re detached from reality when they’re the ones struggling to make ends meet in the inflation-rattled economy caused by Biden arbitrarily injecting trillions of dollars into it is not a winning message. “Stubborn facts, it seems, are no match for stubborn perceptions,” wrote Coy. Talk about cringe.

He leaves as the most unpopular President in history.
This is after 4 years of spending trillions trying to buy votes.

Same basic economy as Carter. Plenty of ways to make money, plenty of jobs, but inflation clobbers lifestyles for many. Now the FED is insisting on a 2.0% target for inflation. That’s nice, but the FED has failed to deliver 2.0% for 22 of the last 30 years. I don’t know why they think they can deliver it now without a recession.

Biden’s handling of the economy has been equated to Jeffery Toobin’s handling of Zoom conferences.
