Tell these Americans that the economy is humming, that median wage growth has nudged ahead of the core inflation rate, and that everything’s grand, and you’re likely to see a roll of the eyes.

    Did you actually read the article? There was nothing Republican, conservative, or even centrist about it.

      I have no idea why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right. This article doesn’t criticize Biden or the Democrats, just the pundits who want to gaslight working-class Americans. This guy clearly didn’t read it.

      The entire article is an attack on “liberal economists”, much like every Michael Powell article.

      I’ve listened to literally hours of takedowns on how shitty of a “journalist” Michael Powell is. Not everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

      Few have struck this chord more insistently than Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize–winning economist and liberal New York Times columnist.

      Hear that? No? Yeah.
