While I was clearing my driveway this morning of 4 inches of heavy, wet snow, i was listening to the Nice Polite Republican on NPR. I was somewhat shocked when their media reporter opined that the present gloomy public sentiment regarding the economy was at least partially driven by negative reporting from mainstream media as well as the usual suspects on the right.
Despite the overwhelmingly good numbers on unemployment and falling inflation along with strong consumer spending, a majority of Americans are seemingly willing to tell anyone who will listen they are unhappy with the national economy. Of course most of the doomsayers also say their own situation is good. The tsunami of bad economic stories coming out of midwest diners blame Joe Biden for the fact that eggs are not 50 cents a dozen like in the halcyon days of yore.
Meanwhile, winter is making up for lost time in the north country. We have had two storms in the last few days and more is on the way.
