Forget about that crazy high inflation, those sky-high gas prices, and the empty shelves at your local grocery store: to White House chief of staff Ron Klain, everything’s great.
Klain made his claim in an interview with “The Lead With Jake Tapper,” in which Tapper asked President Joe Biden’s right-hand man about inflation, noting that “it’s at a 30-year high” and “up 6.2%. That’s worse than had been feared.”“Well, look, I do think, as I said, Jake, things are a lot better in this country than they were a year ago, with regard to COVID, with regard to the economy, but we have a lot of work left to do,”

So what exactly is better? The Democrats no longer trying to destroy the president? That is better but they are still obsessed with destroying Donald Trump. The Democrats holding up budgets and overspending to make to liberal progressives happy? Nope, that is worse than ever. It is just OK now as the Democrats are in charge. The media hatefest towards the president is gone but it has been replaced by a willful blindness to all of the division and problems that the current body occupying the office of president is causing. The only thing that might be better is no mean tweets by the president. Actually, we could use a few good mean tweets by the President right now addressing some of the nations problems like illegal immigration, inflation, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and a general malaise not felt since the Jimmy Cater years.

Well President Klain, I beg to differ - me and 7 out of 10 fellow Americans (I think that poll number is conservative - more like 8 out of 10).

I learned some Latin on this website earlier today: Ipse dixit. Literally it means, "He himself said it." And it is used to assert proof without evidence. (It reminds me of a parent saying, "Because I said so!")
Ispe dixit regarding this claim. Ipse dixit. It's a fallacy.
Thank you, whoever brought this expression to my attention. It fits so often with what the Left says.

Gas prices nearly double, supply chains interrupted, 6% inflation, COVID still there, vax mandates, mask mandates, US prestige at all time low after Afghanistan, crisis at the southern border, reckless spending, demented leader--yep, it's better.

It amazes me how much disingenuous clap trap comes out of the mouths of the FJB administration supporters. And I should say it amazes me how disingenuous the msm is in ignoring the truth in the matter, but it doesn't. They aren't ignoring it, they encourage it and seem obviously upset with we peasants just aren't believing in what they are saying.

I think their leader, obama, is trying to make non-thinkers klain and biden look bad by filling their minds with this mush, and making them make all the bad decisions. Thereby, making obama look better.

White House Chief of Staff Ron "Kommandant" Klain aims to please the Demented Fuhrer. Joe "Dementia" Biden doesn't even look up when devouring his favorite ice cream. Kommandant tells The Demented One, all is well. Sign these Executive Orders, it has to do with ice cream.

They can't actually name ONE thing that's better. Okay, I'll give property values and the stock markeet; but not because of anything they did.

Not one measurable item has improved. All measurements have gone in the "bad" direction.

There are more COVID deaths in 2021 than last year. The misery index is 8 points higher than last year. There are more people out of work in the country than last year. I think the Biden junta are all dangerous mind-altering substances that have been smuggled across the out-of- control southern.border.
