What is?

Yes, you are delusional. Just because you want to try and convince everyone that the economy is great doesn't mean it's true. People are spending because they have too. People are paying skyrocketed prices because they have no other choice. The cost of everything is up and it is directly because of Biden and his policies. The people are being forced to pay more for everything giving the illusion that all is well because people are spending. It only last so long and now everyone is walking away from the dollar. Your guy is bankrupting this country and dry ******** it's citizens.

Yes. Your personal situation defines the entire economy.

All those new jobs created on top of jobs regained, people spending on non-necessities, unemployment hitting its lowest point in 50 years in 2023, GDP back where it should be after the 2020 meltdown, DJIA at 33.4k, minimum wages pushed up to living levels, etc.

All that means nothing to the REAL economy, which is whether you can squeak by on your broken ankle payoff and sponging from others, or whether you have to earn some pay to buy things.

Yep, you really are a genius, fully understanding the big picture.
How the F you can be 48 and so clueless is beyond me.

The jobs numbers aren't hard facts...it's an estimate...and depending on which numbers get used...depends on the outcome...

Any of that inflation due to the Fed pumping record amounts of money into the economy? What about the Orange Fella's pandemic spending???

Orange fella is not the president. Biden is accountable for the present.

Same numbers and methods that have been in use by Bureau of Labor and Statistics for who knows how long.

(i.e. Contrary to Thxone’s conspiracy theory, they’re not using one set of books for Trump and another set for Biden in order to make Trump look bad)

Show me this theory. Verified with facts of course.

You have an amazing propensity to demonstrate your utter lack of understanding for even the most basic concepts.

Is it natural, or do you work at it?
Once again kid, one’s personal situation doesn’t define reality. If that is how it worked, you’d be outside shoveling snow in 40MPH winds right now.
Look out your window. Any fresh powder out there?

Actually they get changed a fair bit depending on the administration...like under Obama...they quit counting people who had been unemployed for a year or more...essentially lowering the unemployment rate...and I'm sure every administration does something similar...it's technically not wrong but slight changes can soften a bad report or strengthen and mediocre one...like anything with estimation involved...

You are saying that is a conspiracy theory? No wonder you far left idiots cry so much.

That's right, IGNORE the body of the post you classless troll.

“conspiracy theory - a belief that some secret but influential organization is responsible for an event or phenomenon.”

Hmmm. The metrics of our economy are all being “faked”, and it’s actually in the shitter.
WHO would be able to pull off such a scam and not get caught?
It’d have to be a secret and influential organization. Certainly not a known singular entity.

Conspiracy theory applies perfectly.

That's a pretty simplistic and convenient view of the world. Does that work both ways, ie does Biden get credit for keeping the border "tighter" when that's how Trump handed it to him? Was it Obama's fault we invaded Iraq because he got elected POTUS?

I give Trump credit for moving current immigration policy to where it is today. Trump should get some credit for current insulin prices as well. Getting us out of Afghanistan - again Trump deserves the lion's share of the credit as well as a share of blame for the less than perfect withdrawal. We can trace our trade relationship with China to 3 major players IMHO - Nixon, Bush v1 and Clinton.

IMHO, you have it wrong. What makes it a conspiracy is "others" are conspiring to accomplish x, y and z.

There is no "secret influential organization", everybody knows it's the Clintons, Soros, Gates, Epstein (even though he's dead), et al.
