See how imbalanced media coverage of the economy has been? All pain, no gain, except that's clearly not true now. Time for the news media to correct this. 2024 is a rather important election year. #FactsMatter https://t.co/DVdUeKsGIQ

Trump’s former economic advisor on Fox: Biden got a good 3.3% GDP number in the 4th quarter following a good 3rd quarter number. And inflation is coming down. If I were him, I'd be bragging about it too pic.twitter.com/E6yAAuVAVG

JUST IN: The US economy grew 2.5% in 2023. That was stellar growth for a year when many experts predicted a recession. The economy grew just 1.9% in 2022.

Here’s a look at GDP by quarter:
Q4: 3.3% —> still strong due to robust consumption
Q3: 4.9
Q2: 2.1
Q1: 2.2 pic.twitter.com/8uBLA1t1rA

“Boom. .. signs point towards a soft landing .. and further disinflation that will create the conditions in which the [Fed] can relax its restrictive policy rate by mid-year which should create the conditions for a sustained economic expansion ..”

Some thoughts about inflation and vibes. Over the past year or so, it has become more or less conventional wisdom that people care about prices, not rate of change. So, for example, they care that groceries cost more, not that price increases have slowed 1/ pic.twitter.com/Kt5nbrWPmV

This is good explainer ⤵️ of how right wing propaganda has warped polling results & created a false narrative. Keep it in mind every time you see a story about right track/ wrong track polling, etc. https://t.co/omO1F3jbS2 pic.twitter.com/jRJ5o1T0ix

So 2023 was a miraculous year for the economy: high growth with inflation falling all the way back to the Fed's target, rising real wages. And here, according to YouGov, is how Republicans saw it pic.twitter.com/E4OQinqGND

When Trumpists talk about his great economy, they play 3-card Monte. When it comes to jobs and growth, they pretend his admin ended January 2020. When it comes to prices, they cite numbers from 2020, when demand was severely depressed. Eg unemployment and gas prices pic.twitter.com/VVu1yAPIgd

Meanwhile, Biden's economic approval is deeply negative and people think the economy is bad by a 70-30 margin.

To be blunt: this is insane! People are just being completely misinformed about the state of the economy by media and social media! https://t.co/MHcjEwcOkS
