Raising rates to quell inflation always slows the economy and leads to higher unemployment and lower output. How can the economy “outperform” in an inflation-fighting high-interest rate era?

Did Bidenomics repeal all economic laws?

“Economy outperforms” is a euphemism for “Inflation Still Running Rampant”

I assume “economy outperforms” means outperforms expectations. Which is in fact true. Many people were predicting at the beginning of this year that we’d be in a recession around this time. The economy is not great but there is no sign of a recession yet.

Economy outperforms:

Here’s how..

Two Nobel Laureate economists are walking down the sidewalk. They come upon a huge dog turd. The first economist says to the second, “I’ll give you $100 if you eat that.” Second one says, “Well I don’t know but $100 is $100.” And he chows down.

They keep going and come upon another giant steaming pile. Second one says to the first “Now I’ll give YOU $100 if you eat that!” First economist says, “No problem, fork it over”. And he chows down.

They keep going and the Second says to the First, “I don’t think we gained anything: neither of us are ahead and we both ate dog shit.” The First economist says, “Well look on the bright side: We added $200 to the GDP.”
