Bidenomics worked. The media failed.

We now have data for 2024, real wage growth was extraordinarily strong at the bottom end of the wage distribution www.epi.org/publication/...

The media didn't fail - the media simply was never designed to help people who weren't rich.

The media didn't fail in their real objective which was to elect Donald Trump.

Too many people bitched about Biden due to his age. Totally ignoring his many accomplishments. We will
Pay the price for that bull shit for a long time.

If Bidenomics worked, it was Biden's responsibility--not the media's--to make sure everyone knew about it, but he was a poor communications strategist, orator, innovator, bereft of any talent for political theater. Trump blames the media, but he thinks he has the skill to play the media. Not Biden

By the way, not an economist, but when you combine real wage growth with an ultra efficient IRS you have your best shot at reducing some of the country’s debt.

The media failed purposely

"Yet pay started at such a low point, they continue to suffer from wages grossly inadequate to sustain families."

Which is why Democrats want to raise the minimum wage. Trump/GOP do not.

"Which is why Democrats want to raise the minimum wage."

They may SAY that they are, but they've proved unwilling to fight for it.

Of possible interest: Democrats didn't make Seattle's $15 minimum wage happen. Socialists did.

But … BUT …

I was told that’s how people FEEL, and that’s just as important as reality

jedren.bsky.social•16 days ago

it didn't keep up w/ inflation, monopoly pricing, private equity owned rent housing costs etc

ffs
come out of yr bubble already

BidenDems failed AGAIN by cutting, letting expire, & canceling the programs that made everyday life liveable for most ppl.

Dems fail & blame everyone else. everytime

People didn’t realize how good we had it, and they’re gonna find out soon how bad it’s gonna get.

Wake me when we get a wealth redistribution.

YUP! & if you're wondering why the "liberal" media (NYT in particular) ignored it and ran a bazillion "ZOMG JOE IS SOOOO OLD!!!1!" hit pieces take a gander at this little graph

Note where it was in the lead up to the 2016, and how it QUADRUPLES when trump is in, then slumps for Joe's term
