    Strong economy … based on outdated indicators from an era when the overall health of the economy correlated with the economic health of working people.

    If you have a hundred people in a room, and you see that they are receiving a delivery of 100 hamburgers, you might conclude that they are all doing fine. But if you look inside the room and find out that ONE guy is hoarding 50 of those hamburgers, and 9 guys are hoarding 40 of the remaining hamburgers, you can plainly see that 90% of the people in that room are just fighting for crumbs.

    This isn’t a Biden problem. This is mostly a Republican problem. They have been ACTIVELY FIGHTING TO GET US TO TO THIS POINT, AND WORSE. “Centrist” Democrats also share the blame for not fighting it hard enough.
