President Joe Biden has tried hard to sound positive on the U.S. economy. He has told the American people that it’s doing better than most other economies. He is correct, but it means little to most Americans. After all, they live here, not in some other economy. And though they are aware U.S. economic conditions are better than elsewhere, they are still suffering from inflation and can see definite signs of economic weakness.
