The Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman pointed out last week that the media apparently has failed to communicate something that should be a huge asset for Biden: the US’s current “Goldilocks economy”. Inflation is low, unemployment is low and there’s virtually no hint of a recession. But many Americans, according to surveys, are convinced the economy is terrible.
Two-thirds of Americans are unhappy about the economy despite reports that inflation is easing and unemployment is close to a 50-year low, according to a new Harris poll for the Guardian. Many are unaware of, or – because of mistrust in the government or in the media – simply don’t believe the positive economic news.
“There’s a really profound and peculiar disconnect going on,” Krugman said on CNN.
Wow what an incredible piece of shit Krugman is. No hint of a recession guys, no inflation, biden fixed everything :clown_face:
*** US economy going strong under Biden – Americans don’t believe it
*** Despite a strong economy, an exclusive Guardian poll shows mistrust in media and government means disbelief in both parties
