It’s not that Biden hasn’t done enough, he’s done quite a bit to reverse the slide Trump put us in.
The problem is that the things he’s done aren’t where your average voter can see them. The big Infrastructure deal is largely invisible to your day to day voter.
I still see $6 gallons of milk at WalMart. My gas is still $5 a gallon (my fault for needing Supreme), Biden has done NOTHING to address these basic pocketbook issues and when he does hear the complaint, he discounts it, saying instead “the economy is great!”
he discounts it, saying instead “the economy is great!”
When neoliberals and republicans talk about “the economy” the average American just doesn’t matter. We don’t have enough wealth to be a rounding error in this discussion, even all of us combined isn’t significant at that scale.
It’s about the giant corporations that squeeze money from the citizens. People can’t buy shit anymore, but corporations keep posting record profit, so the economy says everything is great and to double down.
They think they’re right, but they’re using the metrics.
