    The Us already does this. This is only news if you think Biden was any different.

      Is this a joke?

      They are definitely different. Skewing perspective is always the thing they do but you know one of them is fucking insane about it. Dunno if you notice

        No, this time he’s right. They both manipulate economic data shamelessly. There’s no greater evil if you ignore everything except lying about economic data for political reasons.

          Nah totally different. Biden has a genuinely decent economy brewing, Trump doesn’t.

          One is a fib, the other a lie. You know all finances are based on bullshit right? You can’t be honest with it, you have to play pretend

            Biden’s admin had to cook unemployment numbers to the point they were constantly adjusting them to a considerably higher number several months later. Biden watched an entire year of mass layoffs and tried to pretend everything was fine.

            Every American president lies about the economy.

      I remember being told the economy was great and that complaining about the cost of rent and groceries going up, while the paychecks stayed the same with buying power going down, was because jealous of anyone else because the stocks were going up.
