you know, like show me real improvements in my life. the bidenomics argument is, you will see a rollout coming, in terms of infrastructure projects and the like, and he points to gdp, gdp numbers are good, he points to unemployment, unemployment numbers are good. but people don t seem to feel that way. jillian: jason, it might be because we re two years into the administration and nobody s that interested in a rollout at this point. kind of like a day late and a dollar short. well, sure. i mean, people are looking at their paychecks and their paychecks don t go as far as they used to at the gas pump and the grocery store, what have you. and they re not imagining things. the data point out that wages have fallen when you account for inflation. we ve gotten a pay cut under joe biden. and that will be, i think, really his achilles heel. people talk about his age. people talk about unpopularity in terms of not wanting to see
