Biden Says US Economy Is 'Strong as Hell' — White House Claims the President 'Has Done the Work' to Fix Inflation

U.S. President Joe Biden has been criticized for stating that the U.S. economy is “strong as hell” as inflation rises to a 40-year high. Meanwhile, the White House claims that Biden understands and “has done the work” to fix the inflation issue.


Joe Biden Believes the U.S. Economy Is ‘Strong as Hell’


President Joe Biden was criticized on social media Monday for stating over the weekend that the U.S. economy is “strong as hell.”


Responding to a reporter’s question Saturday about whether he had any worry about the strength of the U.S. dollar amid rising inflation, Biden replied while eating ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins in Portland, Oregon:


I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I’m concerned about the rest of the world. Our economy is strong as hell.


“Inflation is worldwide. It’s worse off than it is in the United States,” he continued. “So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours.”


Many people took to Twitter to disagree with Biden, reminding the president that many Americans are struggling. Some people tweeted, “reality says otherwise,” pointing out that the S&P 500 is down more than 25% so far this year.


Congressman Lance Gooden (R-TX) tweeted that in reality “65% of Americans say the economy is getting worse.” Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, referenced a recent CNN poll stating that 78% of Americans say the economy is “poor.” A U.S. House candidate from Texas, Wesley Hunt, tweeted a list of items that have gone up in price, including fuel, airline fares, eggs, gas, and food.



Commenting on Biden’s remark that the U.S. economy is “strong as hell,” former Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli opined: “It’s totally not valid, it’s not correct, it’s a misstatement … and it is luring our people into complacency … We are suffering out there … We gotta start seeing the world the way it is.”

White House Claims Biden ‘Has Done the Work’ to Fix Inflation Issue


White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reportedly stated during Monday’s press briefing at the White House that President Biden has “done the work” to fix the inflation issue. Responding to a reporter’s question, she said:


The president understands … that inflation is an issue, high costs is an issue for the American people, and so he’s been very clear about making that his number one economic priority. And he has done the work.


In September, Biden was slammed for stating that inflation had not spiked for months. In August, he was criticized for claiming that the U.S. economy had 0% inflation. In June, the Biden administration was accused of propaganda and redefining the technical definition of a recession.

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this repor...

The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionar...
