Whoops I meant Biden’s economy is absolutely humming and Americans are feeling the benefits. Cons how mad does it make you that America is thriving when you desire so badly for America to fail?

——

The Public May Soon See the Economic Light

Perceptions tend to lag behind reality. But inflation has been going down for a while

Now that the Iowa caucuses are over, the feeling that this is a presidential election year is more palpable. It’s a commonplace that economic conditions swing elections. Yet despite economic performance that can only be called spectacularly good, Americans seem down in the mouth about the economy and how President Biden is handling it.

About three months ago on these pages I asked why, and my answer concentrated on the public’s apparent yearning for lower prices, not only lower inflation. Today, without retracting anything I wrote then, I want to emphasize two other reasons: general grumpiness in the electorate and lags in perception about the economy.

Let’s review current economic conditions. The unemployment rate has been hovering near its pre-pandemic low, which was the lowest in about 50 years, for about two years. Inflation, which soared in 2022, has receded into the 2% to 3% range, depending on your choice of index and time period—putting it within shouting distance of the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Net new job creation continues at a rapid pace for a labor market that is around full employment. And the Fed may be on the verge of achieving the elusive “soft landing” that many experts thought improbable a year ago. Income inequality is even shrinking, as low wages rise faster than high wages.

[…]

A fascinating new paper by Stanford’s Ryan Cummings and Neale Mahoney provides statistical evidence for what economists have long believed, and offers estimates of it. The authors estimate that the negative effect of inflation on the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index has historically taken about two years to wither away. In one statistical model, if the effect of inflation on the sentiment index subtracts 10 points this year, it will subtract about 7 points next year, and less than 1 point the year after that.

If that pattern holds in 2022-24 and inflation remains low, sentiment will improve notably this year. It looks as if that’s starting to happen—right on schedule. The Consumer Sentiment Index has soared in the past two months, after being in the doldrums since 2021.

It’s a glimmer of hope. May it continue.

To be fair,

CR

After a rough few years, the economy had turned around and was "objectively doing great" under George H.W. Bush during his last year in office. Economists generally agree about that.

That's what ultimately saved him in '92, IIRC. Voters eventually came around, they usually do.

To be fair,

You mean the additional factors of how Bush Sr. was viewed as insufficiently ideologically pure by the most hardline faction of his own party, and how a substantial plurality of his own constituents had become markedly dissatisfied with him as a result of various things he had said and various actions he had taken while in office… both of which almost certainly led to diminished voter turnout by his base?

Yeah fair point — that is one important way in which was in a totally different position than Joe Biden finds himself heading into 2024.

Blank stare indeed.

No I mean that Bush said “I won’t do X” and then did X and the media made that his entire POtUSy during his re-elect and it was simple enough that the dumbs who don’t really pay attention could manage to retain it.

She’s been obsessed with this for a while now, fascinating creature.

However she refuses to discuss how her celebrated CYBER NINJAS did in their little “audit.” She has a very short attention span sometimes, very autistically extended attention spans at others. Super interesting from a purely psychological perspective.

Inflation needs to be negative for their to be any hope. Grocery prices need to fall and they show no sign of it. And why should they- when I go to the cheapo stores like Aldi half the shelves are empty.

No idea why pundits think lower inflation rate is what matters.

We just had years of 6-9% inflation (that they'll admit to). Everyone has experienced firsthand that groceries are now 30-50% more expensive than a few years ago. Used cars are still unbelievably expensive. Housing affordability is at the worst level ever recorded. None of this is unwinding fast enough.

Again for the millionth time, the economy is fine is you own your own home as your largest single expense is not experiencing inflation (the opposite actually).

For those who don't own a home yet, congrats inflation is back down to 3% but that home you want is still only up 100% compared to 3 years ago. hehe

No, it did not used to be like this at all. WSJ used to be very dry and direct with commentary being limited to what it means for investors. My sense is that they leave that for some of their other media outlets (MarketWatch and Barrons). I'm embarrassed to say I pay $6/month for all of these.

One of the lulzy things that has resulted from this is that the WSJ now often opines on hard hitting issues like fashion. It has basically become the NYT/Wapo of the "sensible moderate right" (aka GOPe).

Voters don’t read the WSJ.

Gas is over $3. Heating oil is $4. Natural gas is up 30%. Electricity is up about the same. You can’t eat at McDonald’s for less than $15. Interest rates for house and cars are still high. I just spent $500 at the grocery store, and I did not buy that much or much of anything fancy.

Can the deep state hold off a commercial real estate collapse until after the election. Probably. Are the numbers some version of fraud lies. Yes. For a lot of reasons.

Does any of these fraud lies numbers matter short of an ITE level collapse? No.

Talk to people who work for a living. Contractors are complaining about a lack of work. Union guys are spending a lot of time not on a job. Service industry people are being squeezed even. Everyone complains about grocery prices. Everyone, even people making so much it should not matter because they know what it means for everyone else. This is all relatively new and is not going away before November nor will people forget before November.

Nothing to see here, move along...

By the way, the one thing inflation generally should mean is "increased consumer spending" (if everything costs more and you maintain your lifestyle you will spend more). The only reason that wouldn't happen is if consumers can't afford it and therefore have to cut expenses. This happens when inflation doesn't get reflected in incomes or there are major job losses.

And then prices fall and inflation eases. Sounds like Biden and the Fed deserve a lot of credit for corralling inflation without causing a huge downturn and massive job losses. So far the only people who were fired were email girls and the 12th coder on the team who cheated off his friend in his coding bootcamp.

Food at home barely rose 12/22-12/23 and fell if you remove beef. Huge drops in many categories of actual food and rising prices is in categories like frozen fruit juice. Prices in “food” overall are up mainly because restaurants and takeout are up 5+%. Food is also one of the expenses where consumers have many more tools to fight back against rising prices v eg energy and housing where they just have to eat shit.

The persisting inflation story is essentially just a housing story where boomers are sitting on SFHs because the rates are up. We will see a bizarre housing market begin later this year because rates will drop but prices won’t rise because more and more boomers (and older) will finally sell and so the supply will be rising quickly from historic lows, but the massive amount of pent up demand will not let prices fall too quickly. Rents will eventually correct but not before late 2025 or 2026.

Cars (new and used) are also down like 2-3% from where they were a year ago, but still like 15% higher than 2020. I haven’t seen anyone analyze how much of that is the EV credits subsidizing a higher price point for almost 10% of the market and the corresponding math on total cost of ownership when gas is factored in. Like if you were thinking about buying a 20k Honda Civic in 2020 it was probably economically rational to wait for the EV credit in 2022 and buy an EV for 27k if you’re saving $2500 or more a year in fuel costs.

"And then prices fall and inflation eases"

No, they don't. You seem to misunderstand what "inflation easing" actually means. That means prices continue to go up, but less slowly. Inflation of 12% followed by 3% doesn't mean prices go back down to what it would be if it were 3% all along. It means you needed $1.12 to buy what was $1, then it'll cost about $1.15 to buy what was $1. To go back to $1 or even $1.03 you would need deflation and no one is suggesting that this is happening.

Huh, yeah weird it was when I poasted it above.

This one spoke to my larger point better:

https://www.businessinsider.com/food-prices-cheapest-option-groceries-restaurants-fast-food-2023-12?amp

I know you get my point, which is that prices will fall as people adjust their behavior and that’s already happening. If it isn’t happening, then that’s consumers telling the seller that their products were underpriced.

The numbers out of Iowa and NH re independents and moderates saying they will choose Biden over Trump and people saying they won’t for Trump if he’s convicted are pretty bad for Trumpmos. Haley won non-conservatives as big as Trump won conservatives yesterday, like by 50+ points. And some 40+% of the electorate in both places is saying either that they won’t vote for him period or they won’t vote for him if he’s convicted. That kind of a massive drop is exactly how we end up with Haley as the nom out of a brokered convention and Trump winning 25% of the vote as a write in candidate.

Correct. Deficit spending.

You discussed “spending” above. Do you understand yet? I can explain further if you require added instruction.

this is like the tenth mainstream media article about why we should stop worrying and love the economy. but the reason for the pessimism is very simple. it's not that prices or incomes or whatever are so much worse than before, that sort of stuff is just quibbling.

the biggest issue is that the fraudvirus and consequences made americans, even the stupid ones, see that the emperor had no clothes. they saw ppp fraud and ridiculous money printing and gamestop and shiba inu until the numbers no longer seemed real. they saw incompetence and crime and breakdown of social norms everywhere. people previously were boiling frogs about it, and still held on to this idea of american exceptionalism and invincibility in their heads, even if they didn't admit it. but nobody can really fool themselves about it anymore. that's the cause for the pessimism, the faith has been lost. all the arguments about made up numbers are irrelevant.

UPS just laid of 12,000 people. There are basically thousands of layoffs from large companies every day. Something is going to have to give - either the companies in the trenches are seeing slowdows and reacting or the economy is actually fantastic

paypal and block are probably just cutting 10% of headcount apiece bc they want to be “nimble” and “agile” in the face of the tsunami of consumer spending that’s surely coming are way thx to the economic miracle

Oh I wouldn’t worry about the pessimism too much. We are on an upward trend in consumer confidence after inflation settled.

To be fair,

CR, the REAL story here is that the economy is doing great, Americans are in a great spot, and they'll wake up one day soon and realize it and reward Joe Biden for his economic miracles. Just wait two weeks!
