When People Hear ‘Bidenomics,’ They Think Higher Inflation And Tax Increases

President Joe Biden can call his economic policy whatever he wants — Bidenomics is the latest catchphrase — but a new poll shows the majority of the American people sum up the state of the economy in one or two words: “Struggling” and “Uncertain.”

That’s according to a CBS News/YouGov poll taken June 26 – June 28 and surveying more than 2,000 U.S. adults. Sixty-one percent of Americans said the word “struggling” described the economy, 56% said “uncertain,” 36% said “unfair,” 27% said “punishing.” Meanwhile, just 15% said it could be described as “rebounding,” and 11% said it could be described as “expanding.”

The poll also indicates that 70% of U.S. adults say that their salary is not keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, 65% said they would rate the U.S. economy as very bad. Fifty-eight percent say that it’s getting worse.

Most adults are dissatisfied with the way Biden has handled the economy. The president has a measly 34% approval rating on the economy.

Folks like former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have said in recent weeks that the American people simply don’t know how much Biden has done for them as president.

“It has to be messaged,” Pelosi said of Biden’s alleged accomplishments. “He just has to get out there,” she added. ” It’s a busy job being president, I can say that as being speaker. You’re doing your work, but he’s just going to have to make sure the American people know at that kitchen table what this means to them.”

Of course, most Americans know that the pain they feel in their wallet isn’t imaginary. In fact, it especially hits them at the “kitchen table” where they are reminded every night that the cost of their food just keeps going up year after year.

In terms of getting his message “out there,” only 41% of U.S. adults have even heard about Bidenomics. Of those who have, 50% said “higher inflation” comes to mind while 49% said they think of “tax increases” when they hear the term, CBS reported.

Since Biden’s economic policy revolves primarily around government spending — which leads to inflation — and raising taxes, it’s difficult to see how he’s going to shed the negative connotation associated with Bidenomics.

In recent weeks, the president has been trying to do a better job selling his policies to the American people.

For example, Biden touted how his plans have helped manufacturing in Maine.

“Folks, that’s Bidenomics,” he told the crowd. “It’s about growing the economy, strengthening the middle class, making things in America again.”

Yet, the data indicate that Maine has lost 0.5 percent of its manufacturing jobs between June 2022 and June 2023, per CBS News.

In other words, Biden can call the economy whatever he wants — but the facts speak for themselves. We’re all “struggling” under Bidenomics.

Chris Christie Hammers Joe Biden Over Inflation: ‘Jimmy Carter Of The 2020s’

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday for the high inflation rates that have defined his presidency, saying that he is the “Jimmy Carter of the 2020s.”

CNN host Kasie Hunt asked Christie if Biden deserved any credit for inflation rates slowly starting to come down after peaking at 40 year highs under his presidency.

“Kasie, what he deserves credit for is the fact that everything is 17 percent more expensive today than it was when he took the oath of office on January 20 of 2021,” Christie said. “Interest rates are at one of its high — our highest level in 25 years, making it much more expensive for people to buy a home, to buy a car, to be able to invest in their business and grow it to create jobs. This guy is the Jimmy Carter of the 2020s.”

“And his inflation that he created — and don’t take my word for it,” he said. “Democratic economist, former Treasury Secretary to Bill Clinton Larry Summers has said that Joe Biden created this inflation through his ridiculous spending.”

Christie said that “all Republican Party voters and all American voters deserve are two things, the truth. The truth is not negotiable.”

“And I’m not going to say something different on your program than I will anywhere else in this country. And, second, they need someone who can deliver on the issues they care about on the border, on Obamacare, on the national debt, on entitlement programs,” he added. “Donald Trump failed on all those when he was president, even with a Republican Congress. Elect me president, and I won’t.”
