This post aged like milk in the August sun. On August 16 of last year, this is what Chuck Schumer said about the economy.
Watch:
Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer on dissatisfaction with Biden and Democrats over the economy: "A year from now, people will know — they will know the economy is strong." pic.twitter.com/5RyxrAaDwF

Oof.
Well, it’s almost a year later, Chuck. https://t.co/mRZvJm99Ch

How are you doing? Are you better off economically?
Do you think the economy is strong?
We sure don't.
The deterioration of Biden in a year is stunning. I don't think he will finish his term.

The economy also deteriorated pretty darned quickly.
Yeah, I do. Sour milk. pic.twitter.com/qgIeTrw9TR

If this economy was a cookout.
ole Chuck's lips were moving and he was wrong again...

Wrong or lying?
The elusive promise of "tomorrow," in this case "A year from now..."
— Ti Man (@Contrarian64) August 5, 2024
Outright con-artists use this, too, and it's most effective when the promise is what people want to hear.
Economy and other risks we face now, promises are being made for ... delivery tomorrow.
Just like inflation was 'transitory.'
And global markets are crashing right now. Can’t wait to see US markets tomorrow morning.

Not so good.
And per Sahm Rule we are now in a recession! Thanks Biden-Harris Administration https://t.co/2zo3Qh8rfw

Build back better!
Or, maybe the Biden/Harris economy is trash. 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/croZMRdu4E

Absolutely trash.
