'Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.'
'Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less
robust than government statistics suggest.'
<https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/02/11/democrats-tricked-strong-economy-00203464>
'efore the presidential election, many Democrats were puzzled by the
seeming disconnect between “economic reality” as reflected in various government statistics and the public’s perceptions of the economy on the ground. Many in Washington bristled at the public’s failure to register
how strong the economy really was. They charged that right-wing echo
chambers were conning voters into believing entirely preposterous
narratives about America’s decline.

Of course the data was wrong and the Biden administration knew it all
along. It's the reason when Biden was campaigning on the success of "Bidenomics" his handlers eventually told him not to mention it any
longer because the people were not falling for it.
This is why I laugh at numbers crunchers like hh.
I prefer to actually look around and take in my, and other's
experiences rather than be tied to numbers.
Numbers are certainly useful at times, but not all times.
The democrats lost in part because people felt the economy sucked.
So now it's finally coming out as to why.
They were right and the number spinners were wrong.
