More good news for Joe Biden

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

For much of the last year, pundits were certain that another recession was just around the corner, that unemployment would be the only way to curb inflation – and even a number of economists jumped on this bandwagon, with extreme skepticism of Bidenomics. In reality, we’ve had the longest stretch of job creation in four decades. The previous stretch of job creation happened under the watch of President Biden’s predecessor, President Obama, yet again suggesting that the U.S. economy regularly does better under the leadership of Democratic presidents than Republican ones.

Not only did jobs go up – with the rate of hiring continuing to surge, and the value of the gross national product increased, but consumer confidence is at its highest level in two years – showing that despite what people may say – they actually feel pretty good about the economy as well. It’s also not slowing down, with the confidence level going up seven points in just one month, something that’s been happening as fears of a recession are beginning to die down, even as the Fed continues to raise interest rates. Going into 2024, people feel pretty good about the economy, as they should, with unemployment remaining at historically low levels.
