BIDENOMICS, IT’S WORKING! 

 

Poor Americans Skip Meals, Can’t Afford Power Bills, Miss Rent Payments, In Era Of ‘Bidenomics.’

 

This leaves us with a Bloomberg report citing fintech startup Propel, an app aimed at Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, that reveals an increasing number of Americans are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table.

 

Among households using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program’s boosted pandemic benefits, 42% skipped meals in August and 55% ate less because they couldn’t afford food, more than double last year’s share, according to a Wednesday report from Propel Inc., a benefits software developer.

 

Bloomberg said:

The data also highlight that households were worse off in August from just a month ago. Since July, an increasing share of low-income households had utilities shut off, couldn’t afford the prior month’s utility bill or couldn’t afford rent. More than two-thirds of those surveyed who were receiving boosted SNAP payments said they had some form of debt.

 

Propel’s alarming report is an eye-opener, considering we’ve pointed out that mid/low tier consumers have depleted savings and racked up insurmountable credit card debt to make ends meet in the era of ‘Bidenomics’ inflation.

It isn’t so easy for the middle class, either.

And NO,  I'm not 'celebrating' bad news.  That childish tact won't work.

 

Information to counter the administrations spin   lies, is necessary these days.

 

THIS is Bidenomics! August Jobs Report is 'TERRIBLE' and here's a receipt-filled, deep-dive thread on WHY

Love that he coopted the derogatory "Bidenomics" title and turned it into a slogan.

Enough pretending.

 

UNEXPECTEDLY! Federal deficit unexpectedly set to double this year.

 

What’s happening: Bigger interest payments + lower tax receipts, despite strong economic growth.

 

“A strong economy usually reduces the deficit. Not this time,” Stein writes.

 

 

Perhaps the economy isn’t as strong as the DNC-MSM pretends it is: 

 

Interest rates are soaring, raising the alarm for a painful reckoning for America.

Home affordability is the worst it has been in nearly 40 years, study shows
By Stephanie Weaver

 

New data shows that buying a home requires a large slice of income in 2023, and thus it has become the most unaffordable housing market since 1984.

 

In order to compare home affordability over time, researchers at Black Knight, a mortgage technology and data provider, analyzed home prices, interest rates and income levels in each month dating back to 1975. They calculated the mortgage payment required at each point in time to purchase the median-priced home using a 20% down 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

 

To provide a relative comparison, the company then calculated the share of median household income needed to make that mortgage payment in each month over the same period of time.

 

In doing so, Black Knight found that it currently requires a $2,423/month mortgage payment to purchase the median-priced home today (assuming a 20% down 30-year fixed rate mortgage).

 

"That’s the highest such mortgage payment ever required and represents a $1,155 (+91%) increase over the past 2 years,"

LMAO. now you got it talking about rising wages.

 

Real average hourly earnings increased 1.1 percent, seasonally adjusted, from July 2022 to July 2023. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 0.2-percent increase in real average weekly earnings over this period.

These people live in an MSNBC/CNN fantasy world.

Less chance of a recession touted as "good news"

 

 

You can't write that kind of comedy.

 

 

YES, it is welcome news, but that isn't helping the average American, who IS be hit with the effects of Bidenomics.

After the massive spending on covid, massive spending on the proxy war in Ukraine (which is necessary) and oil producers including Russia, squeezing us,  a recession  was very likely.  Now it's a 15% chance per Goldman.  Very Good News indeed.

I simply don’t understand the Biden Administration’s strategy here. There isn’t a chance in hell they’re going to convince the American people that things are going well with the economy. I think they’d be better off keeping quiet about it, just as they’ve done with the border and other inconvenient truths
