Claiming the economy is up 3% is such a small number compared to the massive inflation we had. Inflation is hard to measure and frankly 3% over a 50%-100% inflation seem easily an approximation mistake. Governments constantly try to underplay a recession/inflation because if people knows there is recession/high inflation the thing spirals even in a deeper recession/high inflation. I believe we lost a lot of purchase power. I don't blame a specific Administration or someone richer. Simply we printed a ton of money as economic stimulus during covid to balance the fact that we kept people at home. I'm not saying it was a bad choice either. But simply now we are paying the price of saving millions of lives from covid and fighting Ukrainian invasion. They were worth it but there is a cost we are repaying now in the form of less purchase power.
