    Paranoid people rarely say they feel paranoid. For them the feeling is just natural.

For instance, a hundred years ago they preferred the term "Progressive" but switched to "Liberal" after they turned the former into a "dirty word." Today, after giving "Liberal" a bad name they are switching back to "Progressive" again.

Anyone can look at the economic data and see just how much better the economy, the employment, the wages, the record breaking Stock Market, the inflation rate ( 2,8%), the GDP, and even the Consumer Sentiment is way up which itself puts a lie to your statement that nobody thinks Bidens economy is good! Obviously many do think it's good, as that is what consumer sentiment is indicative of. Get a clue, and you won't always end up making yourself look like a foolish dupe for the right.
          I don't care about massaged and cherry picked data. I can see the reality with my own eyes every time I go to the grocery store, or pay my bills, or fill up my car with gas, because even though I'm earning more money today than I was four years ago, my spending power is less due to inflation and other factors more than offsetting my increased income. No amount of gas lighting from low information morons like you is going fool a single person struggling to make ends meet under this disaster known as Bidenomics. I've been able to weather the storm because I made wise financial decisions when the economy was good, but there are countless people across the US who are not so fortunate.

                Try posting that again when you're sober, and maybe it will actually be coherent.

                    Either that, or he was doing a flawless impersonation of Joe.

                      For that he would have to start ending in mid-sentence with "any way..."

                          Speaking of facts, it seems you're confusing the PCE number (2.8%) with the CPI number. The CPI rose from 3.1 to 3.2 for the month of February. We get the report for March next week. If those numbers keep rising, the stock market is going to falter because this will make their expected "Fed pivot" more improbable.

                              I'm just stating facts and educating you about economics. I predicted a crash in 2022 and it happened, because I was aware of the Fed's actions and how that affected the market. I can't really predict what the market will do now because not sure what the Fed will do. What crash am I predicting now? I'm assuming that's what you mean by "hoping for."

                                A hundred years ago, the left here called themselves "progressives," but their actions gave the term a bad name so they switched to calling themselves "liberals." Only the same thing happened. Their actions gave liberal a bad name so they are switching back to progressive hoping folks forgot why they changed in the first place.
