Americans Think the Economy Is Terrible. The Data Tell Another Story.

from Plain English with Derek Thompson · host The Ringer

Jordan Weissmann, Washington editor at Semafor, rejoins the show to talk about why the economy is much better than many Americans—and many economic commentators—think, and whether "Bidenomics" can fix what ails us.
