This post aged like milk in the August sun. On August 16 of last year, this is what Chuck Schumer said about the economy.

Oof.

Well, it’s almost a year later, Chuck. https://t.co/mRZvJm99Ch

How are you doing? Are you better off economically?

Do you think the economy is strong?

We sure don't.

The deterioration of Biden in a year is stunning. I don't think he will finish his term.

The economy also deteriorated pretty darned quickly.

If this economy was a cookout.

ole Chuck's lips were moving and he was wrong again...

Wrong or lying?

The elusive promise of "tomorrow," in this case "A year from now..."

Outright con-artists use this, too, and it's most effective when the promise is what people want to hear.

Economy and other risks we face now, promises are being made for ... delivery tomorrow.

Just like inflation was 'transitory.'
