Right-wing media tells voters our nation’s economy is perilous. The left says the opposite. Credible information comes from sources money managers use, not spin artists on quasi-news/entertainment television.

Get informed. Don’t accept a slanted, distorted rehash. Get financial news from unbiased financial institutions. They’re also on TV, but can be boring and hard to understand. So, I went online to see what actual experts from leading global banking institutions are saying. This is what I have consistently found: dire predictions have failed to materialize; 2023 growth was higher than expected; and major financial institutions see positive signs it will continue through 2025.

Yes, we still have tight credit, rising consumer delinquency, and a slowing labor market but knowledgeable economists point to our economy’s resilience to date, predicting a softer landing than previously projected.

Have we recovered from the pandemic? No, but experts say Biden’s Fed has managed, thus far, to thread the needle successfully, and continues to artfully balance the yin and yang of our recovery. Not too fast, not too slow.

The financial sustainability of our lives depends on having the most accurate information available. Check it out: Leading experts agree that better gains than most expected have been realized under the 2020-2024 Biden administration.

The pandemic hurt badly. It’s unsurprising that we may be skeptical of good news. Still smarting from the pandemic? How painful would another giant tax break for the top 1% be?
