Where's Joe Biden's bullish economy?

Weekly, if not more often, Joe Biden or Jen Psaki tell people that the Biden economy is bullish. When Barack Obama returned to the White House, he replied to a reporter who asked about the midterm election that Democrats have a great story to tell, that they just have to tell it to the people.

That's entirely spin but it's all that Democrats have at this point. It's difficult to con people into believing that the economy is great when there's a baby formula shortage. It's difficult to con people into thinking that the economy is going gangbusters when diesel fuel prices are high and there's a diesel fuel shortage.

Each month, Biden comes out to the podium after that month's jobs report to remind us that 300,000-500,000 jobs were created that month. What Mr. Biden omits from his speech is that there are still millions of jobs that are open. This month, that total is 11,459,000. There are twice as many jobs open as there are people looking for work.

That's before talking about people's quality-of-life or inflation. When diesel prices are the highest in this nation's history, that guarantees higher inflation for another month or 2. Actually, it's likely to last longer because Biden's green activists don't want pipelines or energy independence:

The Five roasted Biden for bragging about the economy:

The ongoing infant formula shortage isn't over yet – and appears to be getting worse. Nearly 40% of popular baby formula brands were sold out at retailers across the U.S. during the week starting April 24, according to an analysis by Datasembly, which assessed supplies at more than 11,000 stores. That's up from an already-high out-of-stock percentage of 31% two weeks ago, Datasembly said. Major retailers including CVS, Target and Walgreens are limiting the amount of formula shoppers can purchase.

This shortage can't be spun. Parents know when their stores don't have diapers and formula in stock.

Diesel prices are surging, contributing to inflationary headwinds due to the fuel’s vital role in the American and global economy. Tankers, trains and trucks all run on diesel. The fuel is also used across industries including farming, manufacturing, metals and mining.

"Diesel is the fuel that powers the economy," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Higher prices are "certainly going to translate into more expensive goods," he said, since these higher fuel costs will be passed along to consumers. "Especially at the grocery store, the hardware store, anywhere you shop."

Inflation isn't going away. It's getting worse. The economy that Joe Biden brags about just shows how out-of-touch he is with reality.
