Biden's economy delivered more gains for the middle and working classes than any in a generation. Wage growth exceeded inflation easily and for an extended period of time, these gains were concentrated on the lower income earners. He had record job growth, robust GDP growth, and historically high health care coverage. Savings were at all time highs as were retirements and the net worth of the bottom 80%. Given he inherited a disaster from Trump, his economy was a miracle and should have saw him re-elected in a landslide.
But here's what I said at the time. The corporate media and the GOP were able to convince most of the country the economy was terrible, and when the economy is really terrible under Trump, they'll convince people the opposite. The economy is faltering quickly, people are losing their jobs, businesses are closing, prices are higher, the economy isn't producing many jobs anymore, and wages will start falling soon too. The media is so in the bag that MAGA will be standing in soup lines talking about how great everything is now economically.
That jobs report Friday happens under Joe Biden and it would have been a month long story, it will be off the landing pages by mid week because it's Trump. I remember one month under Biden, we were expecting a monster month of like 320,000 job gains and instead got a mere 170,000, the media went crazy for weeks with the "biggest jobs miss ever!" Yet it was still a solid month for jobs gains. The corporate media wants lower wages and a terrified work force and they know that Trump is working hard to deliver that for them, so we're not going to get the coverage of the collapsing economy that people think.
