It really needs to be contextualized that, compared to essentially all other countries, the economic recovery the United States has experienced is far far better. That doesn’t mean that people’s pain right now isn’t real, but a lot of these issues are global in scale, and leaders across the entire planet have been having much harder times. There isn’t a “economy gooder” button on Biden’s desk that he can press.
How about unfucking the economy? Can we do that?
If there was a panacea for it? Sure.
Unfortunately actually unfucking it is politically impossible without a unified and directioned house and senate.
And impossible with short sighted voters.

Essentially it’s a problem of America’s making and America has no interest in actually solving it, just complaining about it and pointing fingers.

But there is an “I’m working on it” button on the press briefing room podium.
He just isn’t hitting it. He’s going with ‘Bidenomics’ because Stonk Number go up.
