Inflation is at its highest in over 40 years and the price of a gallon of gas in each and every state is at record highs and still climbing. In addition, the stock market took another hit today (along with everybody’s 401Ks) and the country could be headed for a recession:
U.S. equities tumbled on Monday, with the S&P 500 on pace for its fourth straight decline and poised to confirm a bear market, as fears grow that the expected aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve would push the economy into a recession.
The benchmark index is more than 20% below its record closing high on Jan. 3, the second such intraday decline since the pandemic-led rout on Wall Street in 2020.
A drop of 20% or more from the Jan. 3 closing high would confirm the index is in a bear market, according to a commonly used definition.
But the Democrats’ strategy is to just hope we’re all idiots and haven’t noticed the inflation, gas prices, crime in cities and other problems while touting post-Covid shutdown “historic job growth”:
This year's jobs report so far:
+504,000 jobs added in January
+714,000 jobs added in February
+398,000 jobs added in March
+436,000 jobs added in April
+390,000 jobs added in MayPresident @JoeBiden is getting Americans back to work at a historic pace.

Does that remind you of the DCCC’s “Thank you, Joe Biden” tweet last year after gas dropped about five cents (before heading back up)?
Instead of acknowledging major problems, the Democrats are simply choosing to pretend that everything’s going great.
This is so weird. Usually in politics, when things are this bad, the party in power generally blames the other party or the guy who was in power before them.
Democrats and Biden are just repeatedly telling Americans everything amazing while entire economy collapses around them. https://t.co/uRpdmEatQa

If the Dems do accept that there are economic crises, it’s only for long enough to blame those issues on Putin and “corporate greed.”
I guess if you tank the economy then people need a second or third job to pay for things.

It’s about as simple as that.
No, these jobs were not “added.” These are people returning to work after the pandemic. Inflation continues to increase as well as rent and gas prices. The economy is going into a recession or a depression and Democrats are proud. https://t.co/6argxB0LlZ

The Dems are actually proud of what’s happening, which indicates they’re trying to tank the country on purpose.

Should we tell them? I think we should tell them… https://t.co/uIrYRRoHYL

It’s very possible that they know but just don’t care.
