Tell the TRUTH About Biden's Economy, Dammit [View all]

Tell the truth about Biden’s economy - Vox Exaggerating the harms of inflation doesn’t help working people.

Indeed. The article points out a number of FACTS, including that wages have been rising faster than prices for more than a year now, how our economy is the envy of the world, and our continued low unemployment rate.

But in spite of all that good news and more, voters continue to bemoan the economy, via polls that belie the TRUTH.

For example, 74 percent of swing-state voters in a recent Wall Street Journal poll said that inflation had moved in the wrong direction over the past year,

a statement that is straightforwardly untrue.

Moral of the story: STOP LETTING MAGATS (and the notoriously naive MSN) control the NARRATIVE.

Remember: 10 OF THE LAST ELEVEN RECESSIONS OCCURRED UNDER A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. Wake up America!!
