So if the economy is so good, why are Americans so gloomy? Confidence readings are depressed. Some 69% of respondents to a Wall Street Journal survey in August said the country is headed in the wrong direction. President Biden’s approval ratings are mired around or below 40%, and approval for his handling of the economy is even lower.
When the government and media have been lying to us about everything else, why should we believe them about the economy?
This article leans to heavy on the word “experts”, but people who read a column called “Climate Solutions” probably still work for the greater good as defined by experts.

Pete Buttigieg and his Department of Transportation just made up new rules to make air travel more expensive and unpleasant for everyone. How can federal bureaucrats do this with no oversight or accountability?
“Because the truth is, we all know it: Discrimination still exists in America,” Mr. Biden told reporters in the Roosevelt Room.
Biden is correct. Discrimination still exists in America, and he likes it that way.
