As President Biden's (a.k.a. Robert L. Peters) approval numbers continue to circle the drain, many on the Left are gaslighting in attempts to convince everybody the economy has never been better, which by any objective measure is totally false.
Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich is one of those people:

That guy still makes big money for railing about "income inequality" so it's not surprising that the grifter class thinks the Biden economy is great. After all, they are the ones it's been designed to help.
For the rest of us, though, the economy is weak at best and disastrous at worst, and it's reflected in Biden's numbers.
Helping the Biden White House with P.R. is where Vox comes in (as usual). If you think the economy is lousy and the Inflation Reduction Act made things worse, you just don't know enough and should stop believing your lying eyes and bank accounts:
The average American probably doesn’t know about all the free money in the Inflation Reduction Act. https://t.co/UkXOgq9xy3

Carol Roth summed it up nicely:
Free Money! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! https://t.co/dYSUAa311F

According to Vox, too few people knowing about the "free money" is part of "the Inflation Reduction Act's problem with public awareness."
Manufacturing is just a slice of what the IRA is supposed to tackle. For interested homeowners and consumers, however, it also means a major transformation of the home.
“The core of the IRA is around the incentives for homes, energy, cleaner energy in homes,” Schneider Electric’s vice president for government relations Jeannie Salo told Vox. “We haven’t even seen what the IRA is going to do in terms of consumer demand.”
But in order to do that, the benefits the IRA offers need to make a jump from relative obscurity to the mainstream conversation. The law’s success depends as much on Americans hearing about how they can lower their energy bills while also cutting their climate footprint as it does on a boost in green manufacturing. Because the IRA’s rebates and tax credits are voluntary, public perception of the law’s impact will depend on how many people know about and take advantage of these incentives. This also inevitably affects voters’ perception of Biden, which has implications for the future implementation of the law. Should a Republican win the presidency in 2024, some parts of the law could be at risk of repeal.
See, the problem, Vox, is that the "average American" is paying the price (one way or another) for all that "free money." And guess what printing all that "free money" does to the "average American"?
the inflation reduction act reduces inflation with free money. that’s how stupid they think you are. https://t.co/Q5Ua3pNbS8

"Reducing inflation by printing obscene amounts of money" is as Vox-splain-y as it can get.

They're basically stripping the nation and selling it for parts at this point, all while lefty media outlets like Vox churn out lunacy to help explain why it's all a good idea.
I’m guessing this talking point came directly from the White House.

That means the people in the White House actually believe that free money exists. https://t.co/HM0oTpFeIe
