I do. I\u2019ve workshopped it a bit among my liberal acquaintances, but they don\u2019t seem to think it\u2019ll catch on. Perhaps I\u2019ll pitch it to team Biden directly, since it seems to be the president\u2019s major message these days.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, inflation is way up since Joe Biden took office. The economy has recovered from the pandemic in fits and starts and job growth hasn\u2019t been as robust as economists have hoped.

And while he\u2019s certainly doing the first one, he\u2019s pretending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-calls-us-economy-envy-world-hours-announcement-85k-american-layoffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>these<\/em> are the happy days<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">With today\u2019s report of 175,000 new jobs, the great American comeback continues.<\/p>\n<p>I had a plan to turn our country around and build our economy from the middle out and the bottom up.<\/p>\n<p>With well over 15 million jobs created since I took office, we are seeing that plan in action. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DrtwJ0VkMN\">pic.twitter.com\/DrtwJ0VkMN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1786458252525314486?\">May 3, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/these-people-were-vicious-i-saw-all-kinds-of-illegal-behavior-michigan-election-witness-who-saw-4-am-illegal-ballot-drop-for-biden-speaks-out-video\/\" title=\"\"These People Were Vicious - I Saw All Kinds of Illegal Behavior\" - Michigan Election Witness Who Saw 4 AM Illegal Ballot Drop for Biden Speaks Out (VIDEO)\">\u2019ve made<\/a> so much progress in our first three years, and we have plenty more to make in our second term.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump wants to undo everything we\u2019ve accomplished together.<\/p>\n<p>We have to stop him: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AW2V9PVKfp\">https:\/\/t.co\/AW2V9PVKfp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1783620759597764796?\">April 25, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-shameless-pro-palestinian-activists-latest-target-wwi-memorial-in-central-park\/\" title=\"Video: Pro-Palestinian Activists Target WWI Memorial in Central Park\">\u2019ve helped create<\/a> over 15 million new jobs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-view-fawns-over-biden-you-cant-beat-the-fact-that-hes-working-for-america\/\" title=\"\u2018The View\u2019 Fawns Over Biden: \u2018You Can\u2019t Beat The Fact That He\u2019s Working For America\u2019\">canceled student loans<\/a> for millions of Americans, lowered health care and prescription drug costs, and are fighting for your freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and MAGA Republicans want to undo all our progress.<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t let it happen. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aWodhQ03oQ\">pic.twitter.com\/aWodhQ03oQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1783571752678838406?\">April 25, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, Trump and the \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d Republicans want to make America great again, like it was before the pandemic and Bidenomics ruined it, but Joe and Kamala ain\u2019t gonna let that happen on their watch!<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think that\u2019s quite the own you think it is, Mr. President.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case you didn\u2019t get how deep the \u201cYou\u2019ve Never Had it So Good, Plebes!\u201d attitude runs at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sign-times-drag-queens-take-national-mall-create-spectacle-lincoln-memorial-white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1600 Pennsylvania Ave.<\/a>, one needs only to look at Biden\u2019s interview with CNN aired Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amp.cnn.com\/cnn\/2024\/05\/08\/politics\/cnn-interview-joe-biden-what-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> called the one-on-one with Erin Burnett \u201crare\u201d \u2014 and a critical look at the trainwreck that ensued was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/southwest-airlines-union-ordered-to-pay-5-3-million-to-pro-life-former-flight-attendant\/\" title=\"Southwest Airlines, Union, Ordered to Pay .3 Million to Pro-Life Former Flight Attendant\">pretty good indication<\/a> as to why: This guy is terminally out of touch, and nowhere more than on the economy.<\/p>\n<p>As Burnett noted during her questioning, \u201cthere\u2019s real pain\u201d among average Americans in paying for everyday expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, grocery prices are up 30 percent, more than 30 percent since the beginning of the pandemic,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd people are spending more on food and groceries than they have at any time, really, in the past 30 years.
