U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen thinks the economy has recovered from Bidenomics, the pandemic, and other weak-kneed governing by Democrats in recent years.
Her metrics for such a claim aren’t the return of reasonable food prices, because we still don’t need a cart to carry $150 worth of groceries.
It’s surely not the price of gasoline, which is about to spike by 50 cents to a dollar in numerous Front Range counties thanks to inept leadership by Gov. Polis.
The rent is still too damn high, our power bills keep climbing, and no one goes to Coscto anymore unless they need toilet paper.
But in Pettersen’s world in Washington, D.C. and apparently in Colorado’s 7thcongressional district, if stock market investors had a good day, the rest of us should just shut up about inflated prices.
Just a few years after facing a global pandemic, the US has had the quickest and strongest economic recovery in the world.
You wouldn’t know that if you watch my colleagues on Fox News. We must continue this trend and not go back to the instability Trump brought to our country. https://t.co/UKd9j6dd2G

Oh, how we long for the days before Biden when the world was so allegedly unstable we could afford to drive to work, pay our bills, buy meat, bread, and medicine, and the rent was just normal high instead of outrageous.
But hey, the rich and retirees smart enough to invest in the stock market had a record day, so problem solved.
