Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    They only want high school graduates to be smart enough to run the machines.

    Nothing new. Jim & Jesse even did a song about it years ago.

    The company owned the houses And the company owned the grammar school Youā€™ll never see an educated cotton mill man They figure you donā€™t need to learn Anything but how to earn

    The money that you pay upon demand To the general store they own Or else theyā€™ll take away your home And give it to some other homeless Cotton mill man
