April 8 Delay

April 8—Delay (any kind)

There is always a two to three-month delay
Between economic news 
And people’s perception of the economy.

Most people feel the economy sucks
When in objective fact 
The economy is doing just great.

I hope that 
Biden will finally get credit 
For the economy
In time for the election.

If he does, he wins,
If Americans falsely believe
the economy is in a free-falling 
recession, believing Trumpian lies,
Biden will lose.

As people’s perceptions
On the economy
Get caught up
To the reality of the economy.
