CNN's Burnett asks Biden how he is going to turn the economy around. He said he already has.

The economy is working perfectly fine for the people that own it.

TBF even if you don't agree that the economy is getting better under Biden, that still doesn't say anything about his fiscal policy. His policies might not have a tangible effect for a decade. He's not a king, he doesn't decide who sells what and for how much.

the economy is not great but he has changed the trajectory. it took obama two terms to normalize after bush jr and unfortunately it was not so great that trump did not make it way worse. ironically mostly by not continuing gradual interest rate increases which forced the severe ones now.

Public demand and competition drove prices down. Since Covid reset prices, and stockholders demand growth, companies will continue to price gouge until customers say it's enough.

This is just what capitalism looks like.

The way that we measure the economy is disconnected from the quality of life of most residents.

The economy is "good" when the rich are getting richer.

So the system isn't broken and needs fixed, it's working as designed and needs destroyed. Got it.

Rent is outrageous and getting worse every year. The dream of owning a home is dead for my generation (xennials) and newer. Utilities and other basic costs of living have skyrocketed and continue to get worse. The environment is starting to fall apart and insurance companies are starting to drop people, refuse coverage, and skyrocket rates when it IS available. Fascists continue to dismantle any and all social safety nets while pushing tax burdens onto lower income households, cutting their own tax responsibilities, and also creating inventive ways to loot public coffers.

Cancelling a little bit of student debt (without ever solving the core problem, btw) isn't "turning around" - it's barely a wiggle on the steering wheel. We're all screwed and nobody is doing anything about it.

360º turn, got it!

Absolute shit to shit is some sort of change.

He will run for election in 2025 right? Any chance to have someone else to choose instead of Trump?? Just asking.

Neoliberalized Democrats wouldn't say better. This why people doesn't trust and believe in them anymore. They became neolib like every others and they are chasing the myth of the middle voter.

One result is abstention. The second is people voting for the far right.

his best isnt good enough
