I’d be furious too, having such incompetent, out-of-touch advisors. This article alludes to it but others have gone more in-depth: Biden’s advisors keep telling him the economy is great, the problem is messaging: the American people just haven’t heard how great it is. Telling people struggling to pay their bills every month that they’re better off than they were four years ago isn’t messaging, it’s gaslighting. His advisors should be telling him the truth, that the economy is only good on paper, that while the “haves” are living large the “have nots” are not only struggling, their ranks are quickly growing. Don’t get me wrong, anyone who votes for Trump because they think he’ll do better at economic issues is a moron, but history shows that a lot of people are going to go this route come November at the current pace of things. And Biden’s advisors are just as moronic if they don’t understand this.
Biden’s advisors keep telling him the economy is great, the problem is messaging
That’s literally fucking true though, all the data proves it, surveys even show that individuals consider their own circumstances to be better than in previous years but they assume they’re the exception and that the economy is shit.
People’s ability to buy bread is not just a paper problem. Prices have gone up across the board, out of step with earnings, housing is beyond unaffordable to the point that multiple generations are having to accept that they will never own a home. Student debt has been through the roof for years, and now credit card debt is soaring.This economy is not even close to healthy for the median American.

This guy thinks.
I thought you were going to say that history shows a lot of people are morons.
I mean, history does show this too.

No wonder he’s frustrated.
The economy is literally just paper.

All of that is quantifiable on paper.
Really all the data proves it? What is the relationship between minimum wage and average rental cost now and four years ago?

I asked about minimum wage not about cherry picked stats.
Asking specifically about minimum wage and only about minimum wage is cherry picking stats.
Tell me that you never had to pay rent on minimum wage without telling me.
I know I read somewhere that the GOP gets a boost during economic downturns because they are perceived as willing to make cuts required to fix things.
Yes I am well aware, person angrily typing a reply, that the perception isn’t accurate.
