I recall sitting next to a man at the breakfast counter in the Millville Queen Diner in December 2022. He was excited that soon the new Congress was taking over and he saw on Fox how within a matter of just a few weeks our food, energy and housing problems would be fixed. This same false belief is building now; a belief that electing different politicians makes a meaningful positive difference in our economic lives. 50+ years of economic data and virtually every credible economist indicates this is false. All I could do then was nod silently. I should continue that same reaction now. There is no point to attempting to address the misinformation.
