Even the Winners of Bidenomics Are Angry. They’re Right to Be!

The fundamental mistake neoliberal cheerleaders keep making as they steadily lose their minds.

I made a substack for this so you can send it to your libbed up friends and family. Also like/comment on the article that would be cool, im sure that helps spread it somehow

Premise: A lot of great socialist and left-leaning people have dismantled the main point of the Bidenomics argument by showing that many millions of people were left behind. This article is coming in to destroy what little remains after that - even the best case scenario is still just wrong and delusional.

    Outstanding article.

    One quick point though: I posted this in a politics chat channel and the resident Zionist turbo-lib was quick to point this out:

    Biden didn’t give a single person a raise

    And referenced this:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/22/biden-federal-workers-pay-raise/

    Biden’s historic pay raise for federal workers set to take effect

    So you may want to adjust that for good measure!

      excellent thank you I will make that edit now

      Edit: good call, it actually ended up making my point even stronger- it basically belongs in that top chart. Turns out they bumped the annual raise from 2.5 percent to 5.2 percent, which didn’t match inflation, and then they declared “not happening again next year lmao” in August of this year, nice and close to the election lol

      I changed the passage to:

      Biden didn’t give a workers a raise himself, outside of a modest bump for federal employees that didn’t keep up with inflation, and which the administration recently declared is not happening again in 2025. And maybe he gave a raise to some of the people still defending him, but those two groups still leave us with 99% of the population to consider.
