Are Americans really that sour on the economy? Perhaps not. Surveys show that when people are asked about their personal financial situation — and not just their views on the economy — an overwhelming majority say it is either good or excellent.

 If we’ve learned anything during the pandemic era it is that surveys are not very reliable indicators. Case in point: consumer spending, which has consistently risen more than forecast. Better to watch what Americans do rather than what they say.

What Has Biden Accomplished? Look at These 10 Metrics, Not the Polls

b...b...b...b..but Don Suave, that is EXACTLY what you've been telling us.

1) Biden probably confuses 'economy' with some dead French president he used to know. He isn't responsible for anything

2) the premise of this article is contradictory. Don't trust surveys, here is a survey.

3) no justification is given for why we should trust metrics...especially those that most people don't even use. PPP > GDP, for example.

4) the people who are doing 'best' relative to before are going to be people who just arrived from the third world, as a quickly growing % of our population is. This is actually a sign of failure and especially bad for the people who were the founding stock of the usa.
