Bravo, President Biden! U.S. retail sales surged by 3% in January, smashing expectations.

[pyetro]

Bad news for those who want to unseat Biden in '24:

"
U.S. retail sales jumped 3% in January as consumers broadly boosted spending on vehicles, furniture, clothing and dining out, adding to signs that economic growth picked up at the start of the year.

Last month’s seasonally adjusted spending increase was the biggest since March 2021 and followed two months of declines at the end of last year, the Commerce Department said Wednesday."

The fed reserve is looking at those numbers, not good on the interest rates.

Is Joe Biden the greatest president since FDR?

YES HE IS!

I'm hoping the Fed raises the rate again. It's good for my savings account, currently at 4%.

More govt gaslighting for the sheeple.
Higher inflation & seasonal adjustments are responsible for this.
Just like the seasonal adjustments of 3,000,000 jobs were responsible for taking a 2.5 million job loss into a 500,000 gain in January.

In about 6 months, they will quietly revise it downwards & you hooples will be clueless again.

Keep on believing what Big Brother tells you.
Production is up & we have always been at war with Eurasia

Eats into the borrowing power also.

And if retail sales had been a bust, you would say it's bad too.
The way a republican sees it when a Democrat is President:

Good retail numbers: Bad
Bad retail numbers: Bad

Go suck a dick.

Dude we have inflation at nearly 6.5 percent. I would like to see the fed rates slow down, but they aren't going to
if the feds think that we have a hot economy. I know you don't understand this.

Hey, where did you get your surfer knees, son?

Inflation increased also

Usual democrat stupidity and bullshit. Send everything five steps back and as soon as you get one step forward they brag about improvement. That’s because democrat politicians know they can count on the stupidity of their constituents, unable to do basic math and comprehend the net effect.
Democrats are America’s greatest threat.

They are bad, just hidden from being negative due to inflation.

Hope you are not planning on buying a house within the next three years.....That 3% is just a sign of a over-heated economy.....If it was 0% that would be good news.....The fed is going to jump on that like stink on shit.

You're telling me with a straight face that you, a right wing nut, would have come here to say a 0% change in retail sales was a good thing? During the presidency of a Democrat?
Do not insult my Intelligence.

There is no possible scenario which you would find positive in this case.

During a republican presidency, you would have found a way to be upbeat about any possible outcome.

There are a handful of posters here that are apparently fighting over the last few drops of Kool-Aid, and that's one of them.

You're looking at the short game and need to look at the long game.
It isn't about being left or right, pye, it's about the economy.
