Data: More Americans in Economic distress; pessimistic
Biden: Everything is fine.
Read this first quote from Biden - they do not care how hard you have it right now and that they’re the reason why - “we continue to produce these incredible jobs.”
You will not read anything more chilling than that. They know everything costs 40 percent more. They know that if you make 100K now it’s like making 85K ——- in 2019!
They don’t care. Because they caused this. They broke all of it.
You are in the dystopian nightmare now:
Data reveals rising economic 'distress' across America despite post-pandemic growth
A striking disconnect remains in the US economy: continued growth and softening inflation along with Americans' pervasive pessimism and uncertainty about the future.
"I think people are just uncertain," President Biden recently told Yahoo Finance in an exclusive interview. "And that's why we've got to be steady, stay the course, and continue to produce these incredible jobs."
Insight into the disconnect arises from a deeper look into the lifeblood of the US economy: the states, cities, and towns that make it run. Data from the Economic Innovation Group's (EIG) Distressed Communities Index showed that as of 2023, local economies across America still hadn't fully recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to EIG, which uses US Census Bureau data to sort districts by economic well-being, roughly 52 million Americans live in a "distressed" zip code. That's up from 50 million in 2018.
