Despite months of increasingly positive economic indicators, the American public remains negative about the state of the nation’s economy, with 51% saying they think the economy is still in a downturn and getting worse, according to a new CNN poll.
just because 51% "think" it's in a downturn is meaningless....of course if you ask any of you who only watch OAN, Newsmax, InfoWars, etc., you'll think that.
If the economy is booming and inflation is dropping, why are day to day expenses still so high?
Let's try another thought experiment. Answer these two questions:
1. What is the most effective legislation this House has passed to combat inflation? What is the name of the law? 2. What more can the GOP do to combat inflation, other than the answer to #1 which must not be working?
In other words, tell us the GOP actions to date to combat inflation, and what more will they do now that the Speaker is in order.

The answer is nothing... the House GOP has done nothing. And the reason is that they know there is not much you can do about inflation other than what the Fed is doing. It's not just macro, it's world-wide macro.

interesting. I love how conservatives, all over the world, like to claim that inflation is only affected in their country (if their leader is liberal).

Sure. Now show me a 20 year trend on the same statement. Do you really draw conclusions off one data point?
How about you show me a 20 year trend?
Everyone here can't admit the economy is fucked. You all believe what you're told but look around. If the economy is doing so well, why do we have an all time high record amount of credit card debt? Do you not understand how bad that is or just too ignorant to admit that the cost of living keeps going up yet the government keeps telling how the economy is booming. Use some common sense. Americans are struggling to pay their bills and using credit card to do so. This bubble will burst.
Nearly 50% of cardholders carry debt from month-to-month, up from 39% in 2021.
I think the Economy is fucked. Prices keep going up at a rate higher than the income of my family and friends. That's really the only data point I care about. However, that would never be enough to sway me to voting for right wing policies. Most of the current inflation is due to making sure to increase corpoate profits. I'm sure they use all of the data available to see just how they can wring another $.29 out of every item. Still though that has nothing to do with Biden and Democrats. Historically tax cuts for the rich and tax write offs, tax incentives for business have been the modus operandi of the right wing governments. The thing is that whenever the right gets in the drivers seat less and less seems to trickle down.

I found the last page funny. JB made some claims, was asked to provide evidence. He does, then is poked fun at for using Google search and for being conservative while citing CNN. But as far as the economy, it just defines how you define a strong economy. If your metrics are employment and wages, then it looks good. Employment is way down, wages are up. But if you consider other factors, it doesn't look as good. More Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, many of the raises haven't kept up with the record inflation we had last year. More Americans can't afford to buy a home. Workers will not be able to afford to retire until later. It seems to me the upper class has done well, the lower-middle class hasn't; and the gap has gotten wider. The housing is insane. If you don't own a house now, I don't see how you ever will unless you inherit one or come from an upper class family. Houses that sold for 200k 5 years ago are now selling for 500k, with 3 times the interest rate.

Can you please mention the evidence that was provided by JB? Are you talking about the Washington Times link? If so...
And yes this economy is great for the upper middle and upper class. Just like always. But the GOP doesn't want to do anything about the lower class because that is socialism.
The numbers are good...definitely worth bragging about when Fox/OAN are throwing out doom and gloom all the time. Our local Wendy's has been advertising $15/hour for weeks so there are jobs for the lower class around here at least. And I'm in red meat Indiana.

One data point is not evidence. We all know that too many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. But that's been the story for years. Show the trendline over 20 years. Were things really good until 2021 and now suddenly 10% of the population living P2P jumps from 10 to 50%? I would seriously doubt it. We're all capable of applying critical thinking. Second, if you are going to criticize the president for that situation, then presumably there are legislative ways out of it that he isn't taking. Well what are they? What has the GOP led House done to abate inflation? Do you know?

What? He started off by asking questions and then either ignored the answers or didn't like the answers...hence his random google searches.
But paycheck to paycheck was just one point. Housing is crazy. Houses have doubled in 5 years, causing rent to go up as well. Interest rates have been way up in the last year. Inflation was way up. Cost of cars are way up. I read an article a few months ago that because more people can't afford new cars, the used market has gone way up and people are driving older cars much longer. Which makes repairs and maintenance more costly because auto shops are slammed try to keep older cars running longer than before. Good if you're a mechanic, bad if you're everyone else. It shouldn't be a surprise that more Americans are finding it harder to live on what they make compared to a few years ago.

He was given answers, by multiple people, for the reason these things are happening. He just wasn't happy that the answer wasn't "Joe Biden."

There are upper class people that live paycheck to paycheck you know? Some people just are not good with money whether they make $25K/year or $250K/year.
You wouldn't believe how many people I see that make $250-$400K and have no investment income whatsoever.

Another sign of a hot economy. Mechanics are doing great. I used to be able to call my mechanic and get my truck in for maintenance/repair within 1-2 days. Now it's like 10 days. Their prices have increased because of supply and demand.
Our economy ebbs and flows. Gas prices will decrease, food costs will decrease....and at the same time our economy will slow down. Then the GOP will scream about that. But again....they offer NO LEGISLATION to fix anything that they complain about.

Let's try another thought experiment. Answer these two questions:
1. What is the most effective legislation this House has passed to combat inflation? What is the name of the law?
2. What more can the GOP do to combat inflation, other than the answer to #1 which must not be working?
In other words, tell us the GOP actions to date to combat inflation, and what more will they do now that the Speaker is in order.

But as far as the economy, it just defines how you define a strong economy. If your metrics are employment and wages, then it looks good. Employment is way down, wages are up.
But if you consider other factors, it doesn't look as good. More Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, many of the raises haven't kept up with the record inflation we had last year. More Americans can't afford to buy a home. Workers will not be able to afford to retire until later.
It seems to me the upper class has done well, the lower-middle class hasn't; and the gap has gotten wider.
The housing is insane. If you don't own a house now, I don't see how you ever will unless you inherit one or come from an upper class family. Houses that sold for 200k 5 years ago are now selling for 500k, with 3 times the interest rate.
And yes this economy is great for the upper middle and upper class. Just like always. But the GOP doesn't want to do anything about the lower class because that is socialism.
The numbers are good...definitely worth bragging about when Fox/OAN are throwing out doom and gloom all the time. Our local Wendy's has been advertising $15/hour for weeks so there are jobs for the lower class around here at least. And I'm in red meat Indiana.

This one claims 6%. I'm not familiar with this source, so can't comment on them specifically, but was right in the middle of what I've been seeing.

He started off by asking questions and then either ignored the answers or didn't like the answers...hence his random google searches.
You wouldn't believe how many people I see that make $250-$400K and have no investment income whatsoever.

Our economy ebbs and flows. Gas prices will decrease, food costs will decrease....and at the same time our economy will slow down. Then the GOP will scream about that. But again....they offer NO LEGISLATION to fix anything that they complain about.
