Yahoo Finance columnist claims America is ‘doing better than you think’ under Biden
American Thinker ^ | 13 Sep, 2022 | Jack Hellner

Rick Newman of Yahoo Finance is always a treat as he campaigns for Democrats and their policies.

Even with inflation at 40-year highs because of Democrats’ profligate spending (with the help of the Federal Reserve printing money and keeping rates artificially low), and because of Biden’s intentional destruction of the fossil fuel industry, Newman still says that Americans are better off than we think.

America is doing better than you think

But Beverly Herzog of US News points out:

Around 64% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, according to a May 2022 LendingClub survey.

You might think that this is an issue only for those who have low incomes. But it can happen to anyone at any income level. In fact, an earlier version of the study also revealed that 48% of those making in excess of $100,000 a year lived paycheck to paycheck.

35% of families having full time jobs can’t afford basic needs. The situation is worse for Black and Hispanic families, where more than 50% of working families can’t afford their basic needs. But, according to Rick Newman, Americans are better off than they think.
