They keep saying how terrible the economy is and for more than two years that it is going into Recession.
Why, when the economy is doing very good. It is likely because wages are up, which cuts in to profits.
The only economy, the rich care about, is the economy of high profits, any other economy is a bad one.
They were thrilled with low wages and tax cuts to pad their profits, no talk of Recessions.

This POTUS has done an amazing job putting people back to work, bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., working to get workers' wages raised, etc. The media just refuses to put his successes on the front page! Their viewership...and profit...is so much greater when keeping a corrupt, criminally insane, sexual assaulter, wanna be dictator as their front page hero.

On the radio, one guy said, this is nothing new, Americans, have trouble believing good news. They will say things are ok with me, but the other guy is having trouble, and a recession, is coming??
It helps to get the good news out, if you grease the palms of the rich and powerful.

Which were going up before Biden, I agree housing costs are a big problem. They have been going up for more than 2 years, Washington can do nothing about, where people have more money and supply is low, housing costs are high, the cost is driven by the free enterprise system.
Unless you wish to use Socialism to fix the cost?? They were up under trump, Obama, so on.

Bank of America says "the report is encouraging". Inflation hit a high in 2021. Supply chains were decimated as a result of COVID. Cost soared for building materials, vehicles, food, etc. There was none to be had so what was available escalated in price. I was involved in an attempt to build a $500,000 new maintenance facility for our golf course in early 2021. Construction costs shot through the roof and bids came in 30% higher than our budget. We suspended the project.
Instead of meeting a pandemic head on with science and transparency, the U.S. had a leader who talked about drinking Clorox and shoving light bulbs inside your body. Instead of relying on medical technology, we had an administration that told people horse wormer would be better than FDA approved medications. Thousands died. Manufacturing ground to a halt. Inflation went through the roof.
A new administration took charge in 2021. Not only was the new administration dealing with fighting a pandemic the previous folks denied even existed, economic struggles were enhanced by election deniers, a physical attack on the Capitol of the United States and conspiracies that caught traction in a cult of anti-democracy insurrectionists who worshipped an sexual assaulter, adulterer, corrupt and fraudulent power hungry washed up wanna be dictator.
Still, through the haze of domestic terrorism and obstructionism in Congress the new administration took on the challenge. Quietly, without the incessant television appearances and unfulfilled promises of the past administration, we saw the tide turning. By 2022, inflation was on a downward trend. People were back to work. Infrastructure was being repaired and expanded. Unemployment claims were dropping like a rock. Supply chains had begun to recover. The result has been seeing historic high inflation numbers drop to 3.2% for 2023 and excitement about the economic picture in 2024.
One must understand the U.S. media wants the washed up reality show star to regain the presidency in 2024. They don't understand his promise to imprison journalists that deny his superiority. They don't care about the killing of democracy so many have giving life and limb for. All they understand is an overweight narcissist who is more convinced talking about his sex life and "golden showers" in campaign speeches will garner more votes than solutions to the things that help families across the Nation will bring viewership and advertisers. A cult would much rather watch a comedic criminal dancing on a stage than a sincere and capable POTUS who is making life better for them.
CNN, Fox and other media can continue to attack the POTUS while showing hour after hour of a cult leader. Their pundits can make fun of a POTUS who has fought stuttering since a child while supporting someone who makes speech gaffs by the hundreds...while spouting lie after lie. The American people understand leadership. The voters will come out in 2024 like they have in a number of states voting to retain women's rights. 2024 MUST and WILL see reelection of a Leader and majorities of a political party bent on governing instead of obstructing. The future is bright for the U.S. economy and for democracy. The United States has faced challenges in the past and will defeat this challenge, moving forward as the global leader she has always been seen as.

As previously mentioned, the GOP playbook calls for squandering public resources to favor the wealthy, allowing private funds to flow from individuals to corporations and the rich, leave foreign relations in a shambles, then let the in-coming Democratic administration to clean up the mess...and take the blame. After GW Bush ransacked the economy and left the nation at war in two countries I had a feeling that the GOP really didn't want to continue in control of the White House, and that they let John McCain be the fall guy. I believe John McCain was aware and understood that he was the designated fall guy, as soon as he chose Sarah Palin as his VP I knew that he consciously threw the election.

Apparently my view of the GOP playbook is not unique, just saw this posted on Facebook:
