On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that even with prices being higher than they were, people are economically better off than they were four years ago, but President Joe Biden is “too feeble to be the explainer-in-chief, to get out there” and make a case for himself.
Maher said, “The Washington Post says, ‘Nearly Everything Americans Believe About the Economy Is Wrong‘. So interesting, 55% think the economy is shrinking or is in a recession, could not be more the reverse, half think unemployment is at a 50-year high, it’s 4%. Roughly half think the stock markets are down. They’re at all-time highs. … How can Joe Biden, who’s done well with the economy, pretty much, how can he run on, are you better…now than you were four years ago, if people don’t think they are, and the truth is, they are?”

Liar. He feared losing his woke audience so he went back to being a sycophant.
Sigh. And for a fleeting picosecond, I thought Maher had gained some sense.
Those stupid Americans. This is why we're replacing them.
What’s he smoking?
He’s mostly a haughty retard.
Hey Bill, you can tell all of us how we are better off since that moron you support is slightly more retarded than you.
Any of you internet hosts who go on his show, or host shows that Bill is on needs to have Bill speak for Biden on how well off all us folks out here are. LOL
Expain how we are better off Bill.
November will say differently.
The guy will be in a nursing home in Delaware by Christmas.
explain not expain, sorry
Maybe Maher and the people he hangs out with are better off, but the vast majority of Americans are definitely not!
He has always been a chameleon hiding his true marxist evil heart. He is as every bit a liberal as Maxine Waters but is selling a book so he plays the game.
“So interesting, 55% think the economy is shrinking or is in a recession, could not be more the reverse, half think unemployment is at a 50-year high, it’s 4%. Roughly half think the stock markets are down. They’re at all-time highs. “
I am fairly sure most people make up answers to questions like that in opinion polls because the don’t actually have a clue what the correct answers are.
I could not ever bring myself to watch this clown…. By what metric is he making this statement?
American satisfaction with their lives.
Biden 2023 record low

Go buy just about anything, try to hire a plumber, electrician or other skilled labor (if you can find them), or buy a house or rent an apartment. Yeah, we are all much better off! /S
Unless you’re making 20% more than you were four years ago, you’ve lost ground. If your net worth hasn’t increased by 20% in four years, you’re falling behind. While it’s true that some people are getting phenomenally rich off of Bidenomics, most Americans are clearly falling behind.
This article disappoints me. Maher was slowing moving away from progressive nonsense to classical liberalism. Did somebody read him the riot act? Or maybe…
then this big nosed idiot should go and make Biden’s case for him.
Did you see the polls, Bill?
Maher, like most rich people, are doing great.
