Voters aren’t buying Bidenomics


Are Americans getting excited about “Bidenomics?”

The approval ratings don’t show it.

At the beginning of this month, President Joe Biden’s approval rating fell below 40% for the first time since August 2022.

Though there is some speculation about new candidates entering the Democratic primary (most notably Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama), President Biden currently enjoys a fairly straightforward path to re-nomination.

But re-election might be a different matter.

On paper, he will cruise to re-election over Donald Trump, but polls are way too close for comfort if you are a Democrat.

Therefore, Biden supporters might be concerned about his strategy of rallying behind “Bidenomics.”

Yes, jobs numbers are impressive, there is no recession, and the rate of inflation is declining…

However, two-thirds of Americans give President Biden thumbs down on the economy.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon tried to be diplomatic about it in a recent interview. “I’d be careful about that,” he said in response to whether it is working, and said it was a “tough question to answer.”

However, he was fairly straightforward in criticizing the Biden Administration’s social agenda and the way industrial policy is being paired with political goals.

“There shouldn’t be any social policy around that,” he said, “I think that’s a huge mistake. It shouldn’t be political, it should be purely economic. I think when they write books about this 10 years from now, a lot is going to be about how it didn’t work, [it was] ineffective, companies feeding at the trough,” he said.

Some Biden supporters say that the president is simply getting a bad rap from the media. Frankly, there might be something to that… after all, most people predicted a recession in 2023.

But you can’t simply fool people about the financial circumstances that they are facing. I don’t think Americans are just being “misled” by propaganda. They are in tough straits.

What’s truly disturbing is that even the prosperity we have now is being driven by debt.

Can that last forever?

I expect it will last longer than many expect, simply because there is no global alternative now to the dollar.

But things that don’t last forever don’t…

And I don’t expect even a change in the White House to radically improve matters.

There will be no saviors coming from Washington.

It’s up to us.

“Really, the only question is whether NVDA has any room to run. I think it does. In fact, I am very confident that legacy RID members who bought NVDA at the Model Portfolio price will soon boast a triple-digit gain once the stock hits $520. In fact, I expect that by the end of the year.”

A few months ago, Mr. X told RID subscribers that they should consider entering NVDA at $260. Well, now Citi analysts agree with him (a few months too late). But does NVDA have farther to go? He says yes… because it’s at the ground floor of a once-in-a-lifetime revolution.
