That’s because everything costs so much!

[cableguymn]

Probably has. Now. Adjust for inflation for real picture.

If he’s talking about the amount of money spent he would be correct due to the inflation he caused. If he’s talking about the amount of goods purchased he is wrong.

[Vermont Lt]

I wonder what world he spends his days in?

Amazing his writers can still scour the stats to find a handful of quotes for Biden to use to pretend the economy is benefiting from his socialism.

[McBuff]

The incentive to buy right now is because everybody knows it’ll cost a hell of a lot more tomorrow. . .and with the way the Fed is printing money. . . the Dems are turning cash into trash.

28% decline in Black Friday sales in 2021 vs 2019. 2020 skipped due to Pandemic.

[SaxxonWoods]

Quite possible, domestic airline flights are busy too. Corporate earnings are mixed but many companies are doing quite well. Unemployment is low.

Lots of opportunity out there and many are taking advantage.

[kempster]

Yep, all in gasoline.

[Carriage Hill]

BS, Lunchbucket Joey Bidet.

[WMarshal]

We spent the same amount of money and got 1/2 the stuff. Inflation is real.

[VTenigma]

Yes, we’re spending as much as before only we getting half as much stuff.

Early estimates are that Black Friday sales were up nearly a third since last year and in-store sales were up by even more than that,” Biden said.

Over last years numbers - Yes.

But, they are 5% less than 2019.

Fact Check - Wrong...

“Consumer spending has recovered to where it was headed before the pandemic.”

What the heck does that even mean?

Don’t be so hasty. It may have reverted to pre pandemic levels but not just before the pandemic, perhaps around 1932 levels.

[TigersEye]

Biden also thinks that stuff running down his leg is from a pudding cup he put in his back pocket.

[Bonemaker]

“Biden says ‘consumer spending has recovered’ to pre-pandemic levels”

Thanks to firearms and ammunition purchases.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Joe is conflating “sales” with “inventory turnover”. All that merchandise going out the door thanks to thieves is just healthy turnover!!! November has been a record setting month!!!
