    Have you tried to actually find a job in the last 2 years? It’s almost impossible despite loads of “we’re hiring!” sighns that are offering less than they were 2 years ago

    Most Americans do not care what inflation in the UK or Germany is. They care what it looks like here, and when most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck before Biden took over, inflation hits them even harder.

    Maybe average income has gone up that much the last 4 years, but most people’s income has been essentially flat for the last 4. The majority of Americans make less than $30 an hour, which is inadequate to live on nearly anywhere in the country.

    GDP is great if you have stocks and bonds. It’s meaningless to your average person who is barely able to put anything into a 401(k).

      So your evidence that the economy was broken under Biden is your feelings.

      Cool.

      So you got 6 different metrics about a good economy and your answer is… that it feels hard to find a job?

      Like anyone in IT, I get bombarded by offers on LinkedIn and salaries kept growing just fine.

      The numbers clearly say that more people are employed and less are on food stamps, so it could be that you need to do something about yourself?
