Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.

7. Obnoxious spin. I don't recall anyone saying ever aspect of the economy was just peachy

He's making out like anyone who said gdp was looking good or that aggregate inflation was tame was simplistically saying everything about the economy was perfect.

Pretty much any time I heard a democrat talk about the aggregate stats they also said that the distribution of gains needs to be improved and that workers have been left out of the massive productivity gains over the last 4-5 decades. We all know inflation hits different goods and different industries and different regions differently.

That's why Biden and democrats worked and continue to work to try to make things better for workers.

Aggregate stats are useful when comparing apples to apples, such as Biden's economy vs. Donnie's economy. And they're useful for high-level aggregate policy, such as setting interest rates.

He's noting problems democrats have long focused on and have done things to address. But instead of acknowledging that, he's acting like he discovered, shockingly, that the economy is not completely homogenous and ordinary people are getting the short end of the stick.

It's like he's never heard a democratic speech, ever.
