MSNBC’s Christine Romans: ‘The Economy by Every Metric Is Doing Well’
EXCERPT:
ROMANS: “I think just like Andrew said, it’s those inflation scars, they are deep and they are fresh, and it’ll take time for those to — to heal them. I mean, look at car insurance and — and homeowners insurance, those are up 20 and 30 percent in some cases, and people feel that when they pay those bills, all the time. Their wages are up, but there are a lot of other things that they’re — that are still bothering them. It’s interesting, because inside the White House, they’re very, very careful about not using inflation, and saying inflation is getting better. They talk about price — prices, because they know that is what is really bothering people. But they are leaning into these — these numbers. The economy by every metric is doing well. It’s the perception that inflation scarred perception from consumers that isn’t keeping up.”
