err small problem ... after 3 years of inflation food still cost 33% more today than it did 3 years ago ...
Shelter cost is up over 18%
Energy cost is up over 32%
The economic numbers do look promising. The FED isn't lowering rates. The future is in doubt...
Your problem is people have put up with 3 years of inflation and they are still paying higher rates. You keep telling them that they have never had it so good ... but they have less money in their pockets.
As a side note ... It is early yet ... but, I'm not sure biden is deterring anything in the Middle East
