Fellow Republicans, it’s time to admit that the US economy isn’t bad

Multiple indicators - from GDP growth to the unemployment rate (and even inflation) - point to a robust US economic engine

The Republican primaries are under way and - not surprisingly - the candidates have been ganging up on Bidenomics. Spoiler alert: they don't like it. Fact check: they are wrong.

To a man - and one woman - the Republican candidates all say that the US economy is bad and that Americans are struggling financially. They're warning about sky-high deficits, over-the-top government spending and a potentially catastrophic level of national debt. They point out that interest rates are at a 20-year high and the costs of core things like food, gas and housing are significantly more than they were just a few years ago. They point to a downturn in manufacturing and falling small business confidence.
