When Joe Biden left office, we had an economy that was "the envy of the world".

Just a good reference point to remember, in my opinion. Even conservative publications like the Wall Street Journal rated Biden's economy as the best in the world.

I don't expect that to last much longer. The "know-it-all" in the White House will take care of that, just like he took care of Obama's 75 straight months of economic growth.

of Democratic presidents is an industry unto itself. That industry is the reason much of the public does not know, for example, that Bill Clinton balanced the budget. And now it is working overtime to sully Biden's record. Yes, I'm talking to you, Jake Tapper.
