The economy is recovering faster than experts thought it could. Inflation and gas prices are down, and unemployment is at its lowest since the Sixties. The problem is that most people don’t know that because the Biden administration and the Democratic Party it leads haven’t mastered communications in a fragmented media world. We take a look at that in today’s short essay. I hope you listen.
