    The real question is how we are going to learn that this is really Biden’s fault, because poor little Pumpkinhead was handed the “worst economy ever”, etc…

    Even if if was an economy that was the envy of the world.

      European here. I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person (aside from Americans) who expressed a sentiment similar to the US economy being “the envy of the world.”

        It was a phrase being used in several publications around the time as well as the IMF? I think they got it from data comparing various first-world economies and their economic recovery rates from Covid.

        The vibes at the time within the U.S.? You’d think that all economic indicators sucked or something, which was…just not true. I use the phrase to mock the idiotic right wing that acts like the economy was terrible under Biden as well as the reactionary centrists that take their cues from the right wing as well.
