For now, President Joe Biden and his allies are focusing on the present — and hoping the current signs of progress will buoy the party into November. | Evan Vucci/AP Photo
“Legislatively, the last 90 days have been nothing short of amazing — that’s just a fact,” said Robert Wolf, an Obama-era economic adviser who maintains ties to the Biden White House. “We have to be really feeling good about what’s taken place.” In recent weeks, Biden advisers have counseled Democrats to counter skepticism about the economy by playing up specific signs of strength, such as continued wage growth and job gains in the manufacturing sector, people familiar with the discussions said. They’ve emphasized there’s little belief within the White House that the U.S. is on the verge of a recession.
“There is uncertainty, and we should be humble about that,” National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said on CNBC last week, after automaker Ford rattled the markets by disclosing an extra $1 billion in inflation-driven costs. Biden’s dismissal of a tick upward in the Consumer Price Index in August as “just an inch, hardly at all” during a recent “60 Minutes” interview caused some Democrats on Capitol Hill to wince. Lawmakers have also pressed the administration to seek new ways to cool housing prices, warning that their constituents are growing increasingly vocal about the issue., crediting Biden’s policies for steering the country out of 2021’s pandemic-induced recession.
The Biden (who is this really?) is a disgrace. He's ruined the great USA
What success is he trying to talk about? Gas is rising again. Food is not falling. So where is this economic he believes we have? SAD to see this puppet who has not idea of the real world out here and people struggling? His group tries to tell him all is okay worst economyyrs
'Economic success story' Er, what? Inflation at 8% (really 15%), stock market has lost 7.6 trillion and gasoline is up a dollar a gallon since Biden took office, mortgage rates have doubled in 2 months.
The story: Everything in the economy is worse than it was when Trump was in office except for the misleading job numbers.
In other words, they are trying to figure out how to neutralize the bad faith narratives and takes from media such as Politico as exemplified in the back handed compliments in this article.
Um, wut?
In a perfect world, the White House wouldn't need to figure out how to get voters to listen. It would simply speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may.
There’s not a single thing Biden and the rest of the left can lie about to save them this November. People are struggling and they see the state of the nation compared to two years ago.
OMG. Politico = Baghdad Bob. Y'all have become a laughing stock.
. What's the alternative? The 'welfare queen' is Brett Farve.
They can’t be serious. If their story is gas is down from its high then that won’t work seeing how it’s still over a dollar more than it was when Biden took office. Every other daily need is inflated. Good luck with this.
We’re already in recession.
How about telling this story...
The Diddler-in-Chief feels good about giving all our money to Ukraine.
“The lengthy fall in gas prices finally ended, inflation has stayed stubbornly high and a bleak global economic landscape has rattled the markets, with both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 nearing their weakest levels of the year.” … yeah everything is great!!
They know by living in it
He can let the 'retirement consultants' who just forecasted and orchestrated the sell off/theft of 401k held by retiring 60+ year olds to notify their insurers.
Biden thinks a feel-good economic message is preferable to an I-need-to-do-something economic message.
The War on American working class families. Keep them ignorant, poor, and oppressed.. Joe 'kiss my ass' Biden. 🦊📚👈
'How do we claim we have a great economic story to tell, and not sound delusional to the average person?' When that's the question, you don't have a great economic story to tell.
Amazing how he tries to celebrate gas prices that he doesn't control and is still 50% higher than when he took over
We are in a recession now.
How about voters just use their heads and realize given the pandemic and how long Trump took to inform the general public about it and the war Russia started with Ukraine the potential for a small recession is their. But I sure wouldn't help vote the Republican party in control.
This building back better business is doing so well huh 🙄 HELLO WAKE TF UP EVERYONE IF FKN DROWNING 😡
That’s some serious spin, right there! No facts? Just spin a tale
Do you believe me or your lying eyes?
It doesn’t have to worry, the leftist media handles all propaganda, as seen here..
The press could report on it, helloooooo
But🤔... Why are there still monkey's🤷
'We want to tell people a story about the great economic successes we're having, but we're worried people won't listen because of all the inflation and the recession and stuff.'
