Inflation and unemployment is good for the wealthy.

[Marko413]

Did she say this while holding a Hunter Biden painting?

[bigbob]

Babs, the dirt is calling...

[ridesthemiles]

Could never figure what Brolin saw in her.

[GingisK]

I wonder if she understood her own statement. I’d bet it some sort of parrot talk.

[Allegra]

LOL - what are those Commies drinking? Good one, Babs.

[SkyDancer]

Starts out by making the US dependent on foreign oil again when Trump finally made us an oil exporting nation.

[Ben Dover]

I didn’t know that she was Biden’s economic advisor.

[doug from upland]

Shouldn’t this be illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia?

well, for high inflation, supply chain slowdowns, etc. yes, she’s right...”best” in 40 years for that stuff.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Inflation gives the false impression of a record economy, because of record “sales” (because everything costs more), but it’s just an illusion that stupid people fall for.

[alstewartfan]

Barbara’s choice for beauty queen? Bette Middler. But it’s strange...is she saying that Creepy Joe’s economy is the best since...Ronald Reagan’s?

[yoe]

DITTO

[CommerceComet]

Must be using cocaine

She better be careful. With a nose like that, it would be very easy for her to sniff up an overdose.

[DaBroasta]

I wonder if Joe and Babs wear the same brand of diapers.

'Depends' they both need a diaper that can hold a lot of bullsh!t.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Leftists like her live in a completely isolated bubble from the real world. She lives in mansions and surrounds herself with yes people and fellow rich who are all leftists.

I would imagine any conservative unfortunate enough to trip into that hellish bubble would be treated like a Jew at a Nazi rally, Streisand would be shrieking like Donald Sutherland at the end of "Invasion of the body snatchers".

They are just absolute vile closed minded people. I tell a lot of leftists I run across that the difference between them and conservatives is they will cancel, ban, unfriend, kick out, fire, anyone that disagrees with them. A conservative will not. A conservative will debate different ideas. They do not.

[DaxtonBrown]

DOW and S&P have been pumped by the Fed. Look at the Russell 2000 and you see the real story.

[bantam]

She’s a KOOK!!!!

[ridesthemiles]

Correct-—

Fewer items sold, but at HIGHER prices does NOT represent a robust economy.

I went to a one room grade school, but I know THAT.

As based upon growth after Covid devastation. Which is basically sort of like calling white flour “enriched,” since it is flour that had about 11 nutritious vitamins and minerals removed with only about five added back. However, since the flour was first impoverished then it is said to be “enriched.” Communism can do that

Biden mocked for celebrating historic 2021 economic record Michael Lee Wed, December 29, 2021, 7:13 PM

"We’re ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years," Biden said

While the economy has recorded some strong numbers in 2021, a previous fact-check of the president's claims noted that much of the progress actually happened under former President Donald Trump.

"Since shrinking by more than 30% in the first six months of 2020, the US economy has recorded a strong bounceback and returned to above pre-pandemic levels," read a BBC analysis of Biden's economic claims last month. "Under Mr Biden, the US economy has continued to grow this year, but a large part of the recovery happened under former president Donald Trump."

Biden also inherited an economy ravaged by the shutdown policies in response to COVID-19, a fact that BBC noted the president often leaves out of his talking points. "But this job growth comes from a low base point, given that in April last year, unemployment hit its highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s," the analysis read. - https://finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/biden-mocked-celebrating-historic-2021-001338944.html

When even CNN corrects a liberal President then likely the half is not even being told.

Fact-checking 4 Biden claims about the economy Daniel Dale profile By Daniel Dale, CNN Updated 8:27 AM ET, Fri December 3, 2021

Let's look at four of the things he said in November and on the first day of December. The unemployment rate In an economic speech last week, Biden made a series of comments about the unemployment rate. "We've made historic progress over the last 10 months. Unemployment is down to 4.6%, two years faster than everyone expected. When we started at this job, it was over 14%," Biden said.

Facts First: Biden was wrong in two ways here. First and most importantly, his phrasing created the inaccurate impression that the unemployment rate was over 14% when he "started at this job" as president. In fact, the unemployment rate in January 2021, the month he was sworn in, was 6.3%; it had not been above 14% since April 2020. Second, while the unemployment rate has fallen faster under Biden than some experts had expected, he exaggerated when he said the 4.6% rate was achieved two years faster than "everyone" expected. It happened roughly one year faster...

The unemployment rate spiked under Trump on account of the Covid-19 pandemic, jumping from 3.5% in February 2020 to a pandemic-era peak of 14.8% in April 2020. Then the rate started falling, hitting 6.3% in January 2021. So far, through October, it has fallen another 1.7 percentage points during Biden's tenure.

He wrote in a statement on November 10: "17 Nobel Prize winners in economics have said that my plan will 'ease inflationary pressures.' "

Biden tweeted last week: "Last year, there were 21 million unemployment insurance claims before the Thanksgiving holiday. Today, there were 2.4 million. It's historic progress."

Facts First: ....a significant percentage of the decline happened not because of economic improvement but because the federal government's special pandemic-era unemployment programs expired in early September and about half of state governments ended those programs earlier.

Biden said in the economic speech on Wednesday: "The number of small businesses is up 30% compared to before the pandemic."

Facts First: There is no basis for Biden's claim; Ray Keating, chief economist at the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council advocacy organization, said it is "not correct."
