Good news!
The Biden admin has managed to keep US unemployment to around 3.5%-3.7% since last March!
No president in history has come anywhere even close to that sustained level of very low unemployment!
It's been sub-4% unemployment every month in over a year!
Biden team!

Encouraging inflation news:
Online prices keep dropping!
In a positive sign for inflation-weary consumers,
online prices dropped in December, according to a
Tuesday report from Adobe Analytics.
Adobe said e-commerce prices were 1.6% lower
than the year before, marking the 4th consecutive
month of annual price declines.
Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights,
told CNN the return of falling prices is a big positive
for consumers:
“When online prices began dropping over the summer,
our thinking was that one month could be a fluke, but
two months could be a trend,” Pandya said. “Now that
we’re in a fourth consecutive month of online deflation,
with price increases cooling even in non-promotional
categories, it is an encouraging sign for consumers
worried about high inflation.”
The report comes as government statistics show
inflation continues to cool off.

This trend needs to continue.
How much would a mild recession affect prices?

Wholesale price hikes slowed significantly in December as inflation eases
From CNN's Chris Isidore
Wholesale price growth cooled off significantly in December,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
The Producer Price Index, a key inflation metric that measures
prices paid for goods and services by businesses before they
reach consumers, rose just 6.2% in December compared to a
year earlier.
That’s way down from the revised 7.3% gain reported for November.
The latest reading was much better than Wall Street’s expectations.
Economists surveyed by Refinitiv had forecast a 6.8% annual increase.

I don't imagine that outside of the Democrats anyone else is giving President Biden and his team credit for a job well done on this.
