Why am I seeing this line only now? (The Economist) [View all]

[Grins]

I just saw this line while watching Bill Maher's show over the weekend. So I looked it up. And found it.

"An economy with an unemployment rate of 4%, and a per-person GDP of $85,000, does not have to be made great again; it is great." - The Economist, 17 October 2024.

The title of The Economist story: "The Envy of the World: America's Economy is Bigger and Better Than Ever."

And The Economist is a very conservative publication!

Why didn't the Harris campaign or DNC jump on this a day after it came out - 18-DAYS AGO?

You need a subscription in order to read it, but here it is:

NB: Three days earlier, The Economist:

"The envy of the world! The American economy has left other rich countries in the dust. Expect that to continue."

To which one can only say, "Thank you, Brandon!"
