That was High-larious!
It's not that they are "lying" - although they are - it's tht they are cherry-picking their stats. Gas prices? Sure, they're "down", but they are down from a high that Bidenomics itself created. They're down to 3 bucks from a high of 5 bucks a gallon, that high created by Biden himself. If we compare them to the prices when Trump left office, they are still 150% higher than under Trump.
I don't call that a "price reduction", but the BidenHarris regime apparently does.
All they did was raise the prices astronomically so they could "drop" them again and claim they are reducing prices when in the real world they are still raised. Smoke and mirrors, a magician's trick, sleight of hand.
Same for their "job creation" figures. They count jobs that already existed, which they crashed with their covid response, and then recovered, as "newly created" jobs. In reality, the jobs already existed, but were artificially eliminated due to piss-poor management of the economy under covid. Then when the covid response was over they dusted off a few of the same old jobs, "brought them back", and then claimed they were brand new jobs rather than retreads. Just more sleight of hand.
Inflation? They just figured out a new "fun with numbers" way to calculate inflation that makes it look lower. On top of that, they only use the inflation rate rather than actual inflation numbers. Between the two methods, they are making inflation appear to be dropping when in fact it is still accelerating.
Between the knock-on effects of a minimum wage hike from 7.50 an hour to 12.50 an hour here in Virginia and inflation combined in, I just spent 30.00 for a take out meal last week that would have cost me about 10.00 under Trump. I don't call that good economics, especially when we factor in the fact that I'm in unemployment limbo, with far less income than I had under Trump. The two combine to make things pretty damned tight.
Unemployment numbers? They get "the lowest unemployment ever" by the sleight of hand of just not counting folks who are out of the work force but who have timed-out from an ability to collect unemployment as "not unemployed", so that they can artificially drive those numbers down, too. I know, because I am in that group. I've been out of work since November 2019, and off unemployment since August 2020, so I don't count in those figures. something like 80 million other Americans are in the same boat. So, we are not "retired", and we are not "employed", but we do not count as "unemployed", either because we are not collecting unemployment. We are just in statistics limbo as far as the BidenHarris regime is concerned.
If they weren't just having fun with numbers, real-world US unemployment would be around 25% rather than the 4 or 5% they are claiming, the worst since the Jimmy Carter regime. The same can be said for inflation if the real numbers were being used - the worst since the Carter regime, when it was in the double-digits, too. Job creation? If we factor out the jobs that have only been brought back after the plandemic rather than claiming they are "newly created", the BidenHarris regime is probably in the hole for job creation, without creating any new jobs at all.
So basically us proles can feel the pain, know the pain at a gut level and institively, while the BidenHarris regime uses Newspeak to tell us that it's just raining while they piss down our backs, and expect us to believe it.
Too funny the way they can say that shit with a straight face! It's all just fun with numbers,, lies, DAMNED lies, and "statistics". They have an exciting future in the straight-man business for comedy acts after they get drummed out of office!
