White House, Media Elites Think Americans Are Too Stupid To See How Good Biden’s Economy IsReagan Reese

The White House and elites in the media continue to maintain that President Joe Biden’s economy is working for everyday people, while Americans and economists are insisting just the opposite.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in June that the administration can “prove” its economic policies, marketed as “Bidenomics,” are working after being asked about a poll that showed only a minority of Americans approve of how the president has handled the economy. While Jean-Pierre continues to insist that “Bidenomics” is a success, citing low unemployment rates and lower inflation, 61% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck and 75% of U.S. adults think the economy is in a “fair” or “poor” state.
“If the goal is to help middle class and poor families, there are neither policies or outcomes that bear evidence of that,” Peter Earle, an economist for the American Institute for Economic Research, told the Daily Caller. “But if the objective was to enrich ideologically-aligned interest groups by handing them hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, and to increase the reach of government into citizens’ lives, then Bidenomics is working effectively.”
“Americans see what’s happening around them,” Earle said. “They’re paying much higher prices than they were two years ago, interest rates are rising, and they’re probably seeing layoffs and increasing economic hardship in their homes and communities. It’s quintessentially political to tell people not to believe what they see and feel, but rather what they’re being told.”
