    Sorry, but the economic numbers are trending in the right direction. Keep Presidenting, Joe. It’s working.

    Is the state of the economy a reliable measure of political effectiveness or effective governance? And have you noticed how the more the economy improves, the more desperate the opposition’s criticism?

    Under the Biden administration the economy is charging ahead like a herd of wild horses. But I guess horses are harder to draw than snails!

    With all the “success” of trickle-down economics (gap between workers and top management never wider, the middle class dwindling), maybe we need economic development that empowers ordinary people to grow the economy with better wages and working conditions.

    Lisa will call this fake news, of course.

    The US economy grew more than initially anticipated in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

    The BEA’s third reading of gross domestic product showed the US economy grew by 2% in the first quarter, marking a sharp increase from the previous reading of 1.3%.

    The revision still indicates a slowdown from the 3.2% and 2.9% growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively. The GDP revision is just one of many economic indicators coming in better than economists projected.

    New data also out Thursday showed the early stages of an upward trend in weekly jobless claims, which could indicate softening in the labor market, hasn’t materialized. With 239,000 claims in the week ending June 24, jobless claims hit their lowest levels since May.

    On Tuesday, June consumer confidence data hit its highest level in 18 months as other data revealed durable goods orders grew in May, even as economists had been expecting a decline, and May new home sales surprised to the upside.

    “The US economy is currently displaying genuine signs of resilience,” Gregory Daco, Chief Economist at EY said on Thursday. “This is leading many to rightly question whether the long-forecast recession is truly inevitable, or whether a soft landing of the economy – where inflation falls to a sustainable 2% pace without a recession – is possible.”

    Who remembers that huge tax cut from Trump? You know the one that gave all the benefits to incredibly rich people and caused a 6 trillion dollar deficit to the federal government? But Biden’s economic policy is going to be the ruin of us all!

    Lisa probably wants more deregulation so more industries can collapse and be bailed out again.

    I repeat: For conservatives any ‘yarn’ will do to deflect, distract, divert attention from the multiple legal problems their * malignant narcissistic psychopath is trying his best to ignore but the law won’t go away. Poor dupes. They surely picked a deadbeat loser on whom to heap all their very odd dreams and imagined persecution.

    I like Lisa but today, I don’t get this cartoon. I always thought that Joe was FOR us and at least trying to tackle the problem that former Jerk #1 left as a growing problem…

    Lisa, we have the lowest ever unemployment, highest working, over 400,000 jobs created in June alone. The Saudi made world wide inflation is down in the U.S. and has been lower than the rest of the world since it started. ‘Bidenomics’ is a huge success.

    It is easy to tell that Lisa carefully peruses and carefully evaluates all the non-RWNJ sources available which objectively track and evaluate USA economic performance.

    Fact-free is the key word. Ms. Benson apparently was absent in sixth grade social studies on the day they covered supply and demand.

    Stock market riding high. 400,000 new jobs last month. Interest rate growth halted. Inflation, a worldwide phenomenon, the lowest of the G7 countries. Full employment. Rising wages. Gas prices dropped.

    Be careful. “Bidenomics” is going to become the new “Obamacare,” a weak attempt at a slur turned into a positive avatar for a popular program.
