Like we always say, the Biden and Democrat strategy when it comes to combatting the massive disapproval of the economy is simple: Lie to people about how much money they have and hope nobody's been to a grocery store for about three years.
We'll start here. The vast majority of Americans think the economy stinks and is far worse than it was when Biden took office:

But as usual, liberals and the media (as always, pardon the redundancy) would like everybody to believe their claims over their lying eyes, bank accounts and credit card statements.
Former Obama administration "car czar" sometimes makes the media rounds attempting to convince people the Biden economy is just plain awesome. He's back again to let everybody know they're wrong if they think their dollar doesn't go as far, they don't have more debt as a result, mortgage rates haven't more than doubled and cars cost far more:
"Americans are adamant that US economic circumstances are getting worse. They're wrong."

"Journalist" John Harwood backed up Rattner's post, saying the media needs to step up their game when it comes to gaslighting about the condition of the economy:
this is why the media needs to do better explaining what economic conditions actually are, and where they're headed

our job is conveying an accurate picture of the world, not recirculating mistaken views Americans have absorbed from sources that are partisan or seeking clicks https://t.co/W2tCR1WTbW
The economy is something the media can't lie to people about. Average folks know how much money they have (or don't have), how much debt they've incurred as a result, etc.
Americans are trapped in their homes, pilling expenses into high interest credit cards and petrified about their financial future, but the Scrooge McDuck character from Morning Joe sets those dumb rubes straight with this awesome chart. https://t.co/i2JpQkON93

Americans are substantially poorer than when Biden took office, mostly living paycheck to paycheck, taking multiple part-time jobs to survive, and in record levels of credit card debt (over $1 trillion)

But sure, they just don’t realize how great they have it https://t.co/Ul8C45RhtF
The "crap economy" wave hasn't yet hit certain areas of the media or MSNBC contributors. Or so it appears.
