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!

They should have subscribed to politico pro
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.
Guess they want their usaid money back.
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?
Want in one hand...
It wasn’t wrong. It was deceit,lies, and corrupt, for the purposes of feeding us self serving bull$hit.
Not only “The Data Was Wrong,” their grammar are terrible.
Politico is getting fedgov money from hard working taxpayers, and they couldn’t intrepret a little data? Apparently, they are in the process of lying and gaslighting.
of feeding us self serving bull$hit.

A little bit of bull gets thrown about by both sides, jmo
Nailed it, BD! It was all disinformation and brazen lies to get Biden re-elected.
“Who ya gonna believe? Your lying eyes at the store or fake government stats?”
Real journalists would have dug deeper to validate the numbers the derpstate was spoon feeding them.
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.
Did they cash out?
It was all disinformation and brazen lies to get Biden re-elected.
It may be lies, etc. but Biden is not in the mix for
re-election

The left makes its livelihood on the second at our expense, then tries to beat us over the head with a virtue club using the media and the DOJ.
Anyone who wasn't an *IDIOT* could see that the third Obama term with the corrupt idiot Biden puppet as a figurehead, was *LYING* about the economic numbers, the same as Obama did in his first two terms.
Yes, Politico, you people are *IDIOTS* because you believed corrupt lying Democrats would tell the truth about things that make them look bad.
Everyone with sense knew they were lying.
yeah and all it took was to expose where they get their funding from.
Look who’s come crawling back.
Intentionally fabricated. Now go away Politico.
