The Biden White House obviously has its own press office and spin machine, but they also get plenty of assistance from others in the media. It’s become a cliché how something bad will be twisted into “but it’s a good thing” to provide cover for Democrats, but this could be peak “ACKSHUALLY” right here:
It's conventional wisdom that the U.S. economy is built on Americans' endless appetite to buy lots of stuff.
Household consumption makes up 67% of GDP. When the economy falters, we're told spending is our patriotic duty. But it doesn't have to be this way https://t.co/HWhWjn0kci

Suddenly, Americans can’t spend like they used to. Store shelves are emptying, and it can take months to find a car, refrigerator or sofa.
If this continues, we may need to — gasp! — live more like the Europeans. That actually might not be a bad thing https://t.co/mfT9ZI9sgz pic.twitter.com/Mormyd8dxj

The author of that op-ed might receive a gift basket from the White House today. However, it might not play well in the rest of the country:
They really are going all out for Democrats to lose fifty seats in the House next year. H/t @redsteeze. https://t.co/7jJSXL5jwZ

Yes, please keep it up, Democrats!
I'm an American. In America. The greatest country in the world. And I want to live like an American. https://t.co/AlTR9jwnNY

We shouldn't lower our expectations. We should raise them.

“Lower your expectations” was also the recommendation in a recent Washington Post op-ed.
They want your life to be worse and they want you to celebrate it https://t.co/c63SmFFRJy

“Shortages are good and make us more like Europe”

The Biden administration effed the economy six ways from Sunday and they’re here to tell you it’s your fault https://t.co/H4Q2utneYJ

If I wanted to live like a European, I'd move to Europe.

“You’ll get a ladle full of gruel and like it.” = Dems’ Party platform going into the midterms.
* It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, etc., etc. … https://t.co/5RN1Ith9Qr

Hopefully they keep it up through the midterms next year.
