  1. inflation is 'permanent'^The key to knowing the state of the economy today is. Question: Can I afford in the^Biden^administration^what I could afford in the last administration? And the answer is: NO, YOU CANNOT. If you are living your life on credit or a loan, you do not even own your life today.^Biden^is giving the Trillions of dollars of the “Inflation reduction act” money to billionaires to the same wealthy people of always. The good or bad thing is you get to pay by force though the years the money given to the rich.

  2. Give it a few months and all you fools will be unable to continue living in denial. Things are not good and they are going to get worse before they get better.

  3. With enough budget deficit, anything is possible.

  4. Some say the cost of groceries is still high.

  5. 😂 sure. Love spending 100 more on groceries than 3 years ago buying the same thing. Also love spending an extra 100 on gas per month

  6. UAW was on strike all October and still a 3.3 % number. Hogwash

  7. It seems that the American people are divided into two groups regarding the election 😌 After the elections are over, when the results of the elections are revealed, it will not be liked by any one group and there may be a civil war over it.😒😒😂

  8. Lol! We are already in a recession. I dont need the lying government to tell me.more lies just like in 07-08.

  9. Republicans have become chronic complainers

  10. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Pure bs.

  11. yes they always finally start doing something near election time. and plan on going back to $6/gallon gas prices or worse soon after these specimens are faked back into the Oval.

  12. Goosed numbers due to massive debt creation

    The collapse is a couple months away when the yield inversion ends / stocks will fall and a recession will get called in summer/fall

    It’s a dumpster fire

  13. well shoot,if Joshua says it's good,then i guess it's good.

  14. You can present all of the facts about the improving economy that you want, but right wingers, fed by Fox News (Fox NEWS? I'm joking right?) and the Republican politicians, will never believe it.

  15. Strong spending…Well when prices are high, you have to spend more to get the same item……………..So when prices are high, of course spending is going to be stronger……….And inflation can go to zero….But still prices are going to be high…Only if prices actually go back to pre super inflation levels will it help people…..Cooking oil I buy is like $3.97 a bottle at walmart for 48oz..It was $1.84 not long ago….Their lettuce has doubled in price…French fries and hamburger meat have almost doubled…Soft drinks have doubled..And it goes on and on……………Food prices need to DROP not just flatten out…

  16. More lies like usual. Prices continue to go up and wages aren’t matching that rise. People are struggling to pay rent and have enough to feed their families. The media is just as bad as the Biden administration peddling his lies.

  17. 2024😂 recession coming in hard

  18. Listen to you BS NBC news 😂. Lie over lie lol

  19. Now increasing numbers of people have the leisure time and money to camp outside 24/7.

  20. I call BS for a 1000 Alex…

  21. Yes employers hired everyone as a part time gig worker and Biden and NBC hails that as success. People are still unemployed and everyone is having a hard time with the inflation items that aren't counted in the official reports. NBC can keep doing this free campaigning for the old man but his days are numbered. Everyone knows what Joe Biden really stands for and it's not for them.

  22. Old Genocide Joe borrowing money from the grandkids to patch things up before the election I see.

    that aughta work

  23. That GDP number is manipulated. At the same time that the GDP came out, a bunch of economic numbers came out and they were brutal. They all show weakness in the economy, but somehow, the GDP is increasing. I guess their CPI deflator is too low. The US dollar got hammered after all the data came out and investors figured that the GDP was a pig with lip stick on.

  24. It's about to get better as Trump is now listening to the Dems, and wishes the border to remain open for all to come to this incredible land of freedom. I'm so glad he now follows President Biden. Let's hear it for Trump! TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open; TRUMP wants the Border open…he did something good before he heads to prison. Thank God for the end of negotiating endlessly on the border. It's finally over and the border shall remain open for all. Welcome. Gather your friends and neighbors and come, make a new life. Texas is also helping migrants get to safe cities where you will not be removed unless you commit a serious crime. We, the people, welcome you!

  25. Biden 2024💙💙💙💙💚💚💙💙Bidenomics is working! Numbers don’t lie!!!! Go Joe!!!!
