Biden Co-Chair Clyburn: People Must See ‘Real’ on Economy, Not Disinfo., 401(K)s ‘Not About People’s Everyday Lives’
Breitbart ^ | 04/11/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 04/11/2024 6:18:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that “401(k)s are not about people’s everyday lives.” And “we’ve got to get” people “to see…that inflation today is about 40% of what it was when Joe Biden took office.” And get people to see “that which is real, not what they may hear on social media.”

Clyburn said, “I think that we have to focus on people’s everyday lives. And 401(k)s are not about people’s everyday lives. And I do believe, just from my own observations, from the conversations I’ve had with people, they are concerned about things like inflation, but what we’ve got to get them to see is that inflation today is about 40% of what it was when Joe Biden took office. And so, the inflation rates are down and people’s incomes are up. Unemployment is on the decrease. And, although we see the prices at the stores costing more money, people are, in fact, earning greater incomes. So, what we’ve got to do is make sure that people see the policies of the Biden administration, how they affect their everyday lives, and get them to see, in his policies, that which is real, not what they may hear on social media. One of the focus group people talked about social media and the misrepresentation, disinformation, all of those things are out there, and that’s the battle that we have to fight, and we’ve got to do a better job of fighting it more effectively.”

Democrats lie so much I think Clymer truly believes his own BS.

I bought a small jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread yesterday at the high class Winn Dixie.

Just about 8 bucks. And the bread was on sale.

Remember, you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.

“Well, if you take out prices for food, energy, housing, and all of the other things that impact literally everyone, inflation isn’t nearly as bad as people seem to think.”

No one buys food, gasoline and housing any more because the prices are too high. :-)

It's even worse when one looks at the raw CPI.

See how flat the red trend is during President Trump's term, and how steep it gets during Biden's term (green)?

This shows the cumulative effect of Biden's inflation since he took office. Biden's rate of change may be slowing down, but overall prices are way up since he took office.

Red line: Inflation trend during Trump presidency.
Green line: Inflation trend during Biden presidency.

That graph is great — really makes the point. I’d like to see the Republicans wave it around as we head into the election.

That was the chart for "core inflation" that excludes housing and energy.

Here is the chart for all inflation. It's clear in this chart that even housing, oil, and gasoline inflation were normal during the Trump administration, but these economic sectors were even harder hit by Biden's inflation.

Red line: Inflation trend during Trump presidency.
Green line: Inflation trend during Biden presidency.

It looks like there’s not really a good set of numbers out there when it comes to inflation.

Not unless we enter a deflationary period, otherwise the accelerated higher prices will become the new norm.

"Typical of the democrat party that someone could rise so high with such a low IQ."
It's not stupidity. He's where he's at because he tells his constituency what they want to hear. Now they will all be telling each other what he said as gospel truth and dismiss anyone who questions it.
