9 May 2024 - Is the Economy Really Good?

People's perceptions seem to be that the economy isn't that great. David Sirota, amongst others, did an article about this last month: 'Why Are Biden’s Economic Poll Numbers So Bad?'. The subtitle basically says it all: Economic policy has been erased from the political discourse, which is a problem for Biden — and for democracy.

I think this bit from the article says a lot:

American politics of late is a forum almost exclusively for the culture war, and rarely if ever a forum to discuss — or combat — the class war.

Ain't that the truth?!
