Well, the media has worked very very hard to paint Biden in the worst possible light and not give him credit for anything other than putting on his pants each morning, so its no wonder people feel that way.
The fact is that our economy is booming. We will need to adjust out GDP upward before the end of the year if the strikes don't hurt. Virtually every country in the rest of the world has huge economic problems compared to the US.
Home prices and rent are crazy high, though. Plus student loans are coming back, no wonder everyone feels poor, unless you already managed to buy a home with low interest rates. So things are great for those people, I'm sure.
3.7 isn't too bad. Not great, below 3 would be good. But, as long as the rest of the world suffers we will too. Our main trade partners, Canada and Mexico, are doing all right so the chances are we won't slip into a recession. This is especially true because the US GDP is so good. This is a problem that COVID left the world.
It wasn't the media that convinced me that my rent went up last year, or that housing prices are going up, or that gas prices are higher, or when I purchase literally anything it is high than before, or that my employer can't sell anything but the most expensive stuff abroad, or that my health insurance premiums are up, or my stream services bill went up, or that my big raise last year has vanished, or that I couldnt find a job if I lost mine in a resonable amount of time....
I don't give a shit that some asshole who inherited 10 houses is sitting pretty, or that the stock market hits higher and higher due to buybacks/consolidations/inflation. I care about the stuff I deal with daily. In the real freaken world I am in big trouble if I lose my job and my money buys less and less.
Show me a single thing Biden has done that brings a real world bill down.

Conservative media doesn't even give him credit for that much. Or haven't you heard the rumors Biden has advanced dementia and his team of handlers have to dress him before leading him to public appearances?
I mean, given how the White House handled Reagan's Alzheimer's symptoms in the last years of his presidency, it wouldn't be outside the bounds of possibility. But still...
