Why can’t these reporters follow up? “Wait, wait, all economists aren’t saying that the economy is better today than it was under Biden.”

To get the privilege of airtime with these people you have to first assure them you won't pose any serious threat to their bullshit. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

reply

steveohmert.bsky.social•14 days ago

How far away from the transition does one need to be before blaming their predecessor? Especially for matters of respected future projections?
At least nobody is blaming the Carter administration anymore.

Also, up is down, 2+2 = whatever the GOP says it is today, and a downgraded credit rating is the opposite of that.
