Biden wants credit for a strong economy. Americans aren’t buying it.

Americans remain pessimistic about the economy despite huge job growth and cooling inflation.

A slew of recent polls reveal that Americans are still struggling with high costs and aren’t convinced that the U.S. can stave off a recession as the Federal Reserve takes steps to slow the economy down.

That presents a challenge for President Biden, who took a victory lap last week after federal data showed that the U.S. added a shocking 517,000 jobs in January, blowing away analysts’ predictions of slowing job growth. The unemployment rate fell to 3.4 percent, the lowest since 1969.

“Add that all up, it means we created 12 million jobs since I took office,” Biden said Friday. “That’s the strongest two years of job growth in history by a long shot.”

517,000 jobs was “shocking” because it wasn’t true, yet the government coughed up the imaginary number anyway in full view,

Strong economy? I just paid $6+ for a dozen eggs. They’re now too expensive to throw at scoundrels in office.

The entire country admits his policies are worse than the Carter era. The economists and facts prove it.

I want credit curing cancer. If Biden gets credit, why shouldn’t I?

liberals forced businesses to close, told most people that they were not essential, and then forced everyone to take a untested vaccine and wear horrible face diapers.

And now they want us to give them credit for simply letting us do what we wanted to do all along (work and support our families)

My grocery bill says inflation is not cooling, but increasing.

Just slightly confused, Joe is.

What he meant to say is “ it is a strong economy for credit”....

Since a hundred million of his subjects are having to use their credit cards to buy food and other necessities.

Paying double for everything but not making more unless you get another job to help cover the inflation.

Strong economy...Oh yeah, nearly everything we purchase, touch and see is made in China...What a great economy we have. United States of Consumers. And now we have Chinese spycraft suspended by giant balloons over our heads.

Will McCarthy throw Biden’s speech of lies on the floor? Maybe blow up a white balloon and start bouncing it around like at ball games.

I hope Biden bungles the State of the Union so completely that all of those low-info Democrats who "vote Democrat because my family has always voted Democrat" FINALLY see exactly what they voted for.

About 2 years ago, $150 bucks used to fill our shopping cart to brimming. Yesterday spent $300 and barely filled it.

So, yeah, there’s a lot I’m not buying. Literally.

If Gropin’ Joe wants credit for a strong economy, he needs to produce a strong economy.

Naw, they’ll pump him so full of drugs, probably enough to last 2 hours or so. He’ll probably come off smooth and polished at first, but by the end he’ll probably be scratching his crotch and gawking at the women in the front row.

It would be a dirty trick to play on the little girls ...

but a front row full of little girls in “Alice in Wonderland” dresses would cause his brain to melt down.

It would be epic ...
