In reply to the discussion: Why are Americans so gloomy about their great economy? [View all]The Revolution
(875 posts)13. Biden has done an excellent job, but
things are still not great.
I think there is no question that Biden and his administration have done a good job managing the economy. Ultimately, the President has limited control over the economy, but he's done about as well as he could do. The US recovery has fared better than many others.
From a personal perspective, I haven't had a raise in a couple years, but everything is more expensive than it was. So that sucks. I imagine a lot of others are in the same position.
