Consider this new survey which finds job satisfaction at all time high:

'improved satisfaction across nearly all 26 components—w/gains in non-compensation factors like work-life balance outpacing even those from improved pay and benefits.' 2/

Look at how low down concerns about having a good job w/high pay & good benefits are in this new Navigator Research poll.

It's pretty clear the strength the economy/job market is allowing workers to worry about other things than their job/pay. That's good, right? 3/

In this Navigator Research data only 26% of Americans say their job not paying enough is a major problem. It's way down on the list. That's good, right? A sign of a strong economy, good labor market, success? 4/

I think there is a lot of data out there showing people understand the economy is really strong, feel good about their pay and work, AND feel like inflation is too high.

The story of the US economy rn is Biden success AND inflation is too high. It's not only about inflation. 5/

The other part of the current economic narrative that we have to get right is that inflation is a global phenomenon, driven by the shocks of COVID, Russia invading Ukraine and OPEC repeatedly raising oil prices.

The idea that it is all Biden's fault is ludicrous. 6/

The reason all this matters is that core argument Rs are using to justify their threatening to blow up the American economy are LOL ridiculous.

The American economy is strong.
Our recovery from COVID leads the world.
Inflation is coming down.
The deficit is far lower today. 7/

By lying about the strength of US economy, blaming Biden for inflation he's not entirely responsible for, and now threatening to either default or throw us into deep recession Republicans have become a Russian-allied fifth column.

Putin couldn't have scripted it any better. 8/

Part of Putin's strategy is to keep energy prices high, inflation raging so he can weaken/topple the Western governments fighting the war.

Everything GOP is doing now is advancing Putin's strategy here in US and globally.

Why I think we have see them as a fifth column. 9/

There is something so red wavy about current econ convo in US:
- economy is strong, not weak
- R cuts would HARM economy not help it
- Rs big mad about the party which always lowers the deficits they create not lowering them fast enough
- Rs inflation narrative epic bullsh-t 10/

To repeat:

Rs are proposing
1) cuts which would devastate the global economy
2) default which would devastate the global economy

There is no virtue to what Rs are doing, and all of this just weakens US, helps Russia and China. It's fifth columnish. From The Economist: 11/

It's time for American business leaders to follow Bob Iger's lead, grow some balls and start saying no to the right's insane bullshit.

MAGA is an American wrecking ball, and we have to stop normalizing their dangerous extremism. 12/
