That's a headline grabbing number. Or it should be. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 06:29 18
- I think Biden has done a good job with the economy; it's just that "eggs are expensive" is so much easier to grasp. - Dano Sep 11, 06:42 17
  - People aren’t changing their buying habits AT ALL. They’re just bitching to bitch. If they were really hurting, they’d stop buying crap. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 09:00
  - Yep. It's really ridiculous that she needs to "run away" from the economy when it's actually been a huge strength. Unprecedented to end inflation - pmb Sep 11, 07:57 4
    - She doesn't "have to," it's her campaign strategy. She's "running away" from Biden in every respect, not just the economy - con_carne Sep 11, 08:08 2
      - It is certainly the case that outside factors impact the economy more than the president. But it's also the case that the economy under democratic - pmb Sep 11, 08:24 1
        
        You're absolutely right of course, and I wish that were enough to tip American's favorability on the economy in favor of Democrats. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:40
    - wow -- nm - mud Sep 11, 08:02
  - even last night, i don't think Kamala mentioned "16 million new jobs" once. talk your shit! -- nm - mr mooch Sep 11, 07:23
  - Republicans are still associated with supply-side economics. Lowering taxes, reducing regulation, free trade, reducing nanny state. Next question. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 07:05
  - Egg prices have been down to $4.59 for a dozen brown large here for a while now. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 06:47
  - Yes. Groceries are high, gas is high - that is all the majority of folks see/care about. - Epiphany Sep 11, 06:44 3
    - I really do wish she would also call him out when he just throws out numbers that grow literally while he's talking in the same run on sentence. - pmb Sep 11, 08:00
    - Exactly. It's hard to hear how great the economy is doing when I'm still spending more for literally everything I need. nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 06:46 1
      - 100% -- nm - Pippy: Conceptionalizer of Plans Sep 11, 06:51
  - the high cost of eggs is what's driving everyone to eat their household pets -- nm - prayformojo Sep 11, 06:43 3
    - we all just need to start keeping chickens *as* pets - free eggs! -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 07:07 1
      - pet eater! -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 07:10
