Let me check my bank account real quick... No it turns out the economy still sucks
I can imagine her saying...
"Look - it's time for some tough love and some straight talk. Just put aside pesky stuff like Israel is committing numerous war crimes and their end goal is surely ethnic cleansing. Why put that all aside? Because Bidenomics is working, y'all..."
good economic reports
In the last 4 years, my rent has gone up 50%, housing prices in my have more than doubled, my car insurance rate has tripled, groceries are either gone up in price or you get less for your money, restaurants are all more expensive, health insurance premiums are up, new and used cars are extremely expensive, I'm stuck driving a near 30 year old car with a quarter million miles, student loan payments are back, and rates for financing are so high that I can't afford a car loan or mortgage. On top of it all that bastard Brandon owes me $600 (plus interest).
This is like that hack Krugman saying that inflation is fine if you don't include housing, food, gas, and healthcare.
Owning a home became permanently unaffordable for an entire generation of people during the last 4 years, but sure, the economy’s doing great
Replace the word "economy" with "rich people feelings" and a lot of things make more sense. 
I checked my personal economic reports and they're still shit
CNBC was boggled that the price of oil didn't go up
Is this a booming economy?
