Jumbled mess’: The Bidenomics brand leaves nearly everyone — including Biden — baffled

WASHINGTON — No one seems to like “Bidenomics,” the eponymous shorthand for Joe Biden’s economic policies — not voters, not Democratic officials, not even, at times, the president himself.

It’s a term that mystifies Americans and confounds even its namesake. “I don’t know what the hell that is,” Biden said in a speech in Philadelphia earlier this year.

In a September focus group with Pennsylvania swing voters, one participant told the research firm Engagious that the concept was a “jumbled mess,” adding that “it’s really hard to explain.”

Biden is undeterred — at least for now. He has made the state of the nation's economy a central rationale of his re-election pitch, touting “Bidenomics” at events across the country. He talks about rapid job growth and billions of dollars in spending for roads, bridges and renewable energy projects on his watch.

Appearing in Minnesota last week, Biden described Bidenomics as “the American Dream” — twice in the same speech.

The trouble is, people aren’t buying it.

“Whoever came up with the slogan Bidenomics should be fired,” said one Democratic strategist, who requested anonymity to speak more freely. “It’s probably the worst messaging you could ever imagine.”

If Biden is out they will run someone equal to, or more rotten than Biden.

RATs no longer run a candidate who operates as his own person. He/She is totally controlled by the real puppet masters behind the scene.

The GOPe wants it that way too and that is why they hate Trump to the max and will do whatever to get rid of him. They do not control him.

Look how quick ole Youngkin got his strings pulled.
DeSantis 2.0 now with fewer mistakes and non elevator boots.

Bidenomics is a cobbled together economy forced upon America by all the various competing agendas that make up the Biden Presidency. there is no leadership to create a whole from the angry and disassociated parts

If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, then baffle ‘em with BS.

Obama’s regime are still in charge. Many of the same occupy positions in the regime. Susan Rice, Valerie Jarret, are two of them. Many are from the intel hierarchy like the CIA.

Maybe some are totally foreign. Biden was not installed for his fabulous intellect. He was installed to be the clumsy face(good ole Joe didn’t do nothin’) of an insidious anti American cabal.

They have been very successful so far. Just this article calling this economic trainwreck “Bidenomics” engineered to put all the blame on sloppy Joe so they can run someone else who they can claim isn’t responsible for the wreck.

Inflation has been cooling, down from a 40-year-high of 9% last year to less than 4%, but memories of high prices remain all too fresh, economists say.

Not terribly thoughtful writers, either. Those high prices are still high. And higher, because 4% is even higher than last years high.

Table at Walmart? Their online prices are a disaster.

What hit me was Lowes and Home Depot last year replacing the empty box of $4.95 PVC & ABS pipe fittings and restocking with new fittings at $14.95!

Xidenomics: A train that is fully engulfed in fire while hurtling off a 1000 ft cliff into a toxic waste dump.

All the while the conductor and all onboard TVs are reporting everything is perfect and safe, and there is nothing to worry about.

Would the term “Bidenflation” appease the lefties?

I was going to suggest "Bidenruptcy".
