Everyday costs incurred by American workers since President Joe Biden assumed office are only “more expensive on paper,” New York Times economic reporter Jeanna Smialek wrote Wednesday about the “good news” economy.
Members of the establishment media constantly appear to use a semantic trick to express optimism about the president’s economy, when, in fact, Americans are very unhappy about the increased costs:
Gallup: 61 percent of Americans say price increases caused them financial hardship. CNBC: A record high 66 percent of Americans are “pessimistic” about the future of Biden’s economy. Lending Club: 62 percent of adults in December said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 58 percent in March. WSJ: Only 23 percent of voters said Biden’s policies helped them

Just when you think the New York Times can’t get any worse...
Yeah, like the checks I write, and the bills I pull out of my wallet. Also more expensive on plastic.
Soviet style reporting. “USSR Today.” “We are happy and love our new tractors.”
Gas was $0.22 when Carter took office just to give you an idea what inflation has done to us.
Yeah, but I hope they keep this up. Ordinary people who have to pay their bills are not falling for it, and the more the left tries to tell them that they are crazy, the more it pisses people off.
Your eyes are LYING to you, the economy is doing great under Bidenomics...
Can’t argue. Every time I go to the grocery store and get a receipt, it’s more expensive on paper.
“... NYT thinks we are all retards.”
They cater to their audience.
Let’s see how that works.
“Crime rates are only higher on paper.”
“Illegal immigration rates are only higher on paper.”
“Wars are breaking out in different regions of the world only on paper.”
“The DOJ and FBI are only getting more partisan and corrput on paper.”
“The J6 prisoners are being mistreated only on paper.”
Thank goodness for EBT cards. It’s much easier for FJB to hand out cards than try to put a chicken in every pot . . .
The lovely young Ms. Smialek was an able pupil.

I don’t even know what that means. But the NYT is full of smart people. So I’m going to use that phrase whenever I can.
IRS agent: You sold that stock for a $1000 profit but only reported $10.
Me: It’s only more expensive on paper.
IRS agent: Oh, I see. Sorry to have bothered you.
Yeah. Ignore that 8.99 a pound price that's printed on paper. It's really only 10 cents a pound. Just remind the cashier when you're checking out.
BTW, a large bucket of Torx-head construction screws that I bought for $27 at the end of the Trump administration now costs $46 at Lowe's.
I pumped gas in 1977 and it was not $0.22. It was about 3x that much, around $0.65 per gallon.
Ignorance is rampant at the NYT — as is lying
Yeah, it’s only on paper except for your grocery bill, your water bill, your electric bill, your restaurant bill, your natural gas bill, your car repair bill, ...
