“All good –” President Joe Biden said about the economy, bristling at a reporter’s question on Christmas Eve. “Take a look. Start reporting it the right way.”
Even Biden’s allies in the media are doing their best to convince Americans of what they know isn’t true – that families are better off in 2024 than they were in 2020. That’s the Achilles’ heel of the Biden administration and indeed, the Democrats’ hopes for November.
The Democratic Party has put aside kitchen table issues for a basket of woke – condescending to and offending Americans, particularly the Black and Hispanic families that have made up the backbone of the party.

MSNBC, for example, labored manfully to make poll numbers seem not so terrible for the president: “Poll points to improved views on the health of the U.S. economy.” Those “improved views”? Now, a whopping 29% of Americans feel the economy is in recovery.
Why? Because what’s important to them is what has always been important to American families: a strong economy, effective schools that teach real skills and knowledge, and the opportunity to make a better life for themselves.
That’s why the Biden administration’s claims about a booming economy feel – and are – hollow. American can see the reality – in their monthly budgets.
