Wednesday’s CNN This Morning commended Biden’s supposed economic improvements, citing numerous infrastructure bills, now dubbed Bidenomics. Unfortunately for them, their poll showed 66 percent of Americans disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy, and 76 percent considered it in poor shape.

“I want to start with what the President was kind of joking about, the idea of, you know, what is, what is Bidenomics,” host Phil Mattingly began as he questioned White House Budget Director Shalanda Young, “There are a lot of numbers you can point to that tell a story of success. That is not a story that has necessarily been received by the American people. Why?”

Young launched a long speech on the purported success of Bidenomics to avoid explaining America’s disapproval. “Grow the middle class. Middle out, bottom up. That's how we approach the economy, and it's working,” Young explained.
