CBS News anchor admits no one he talked to outside NH grocery store is 'feeling good about economy'


'If you’re paying more for items that you get every week, that really sticks with you, it really annoys you,' Tony Dokoupil stated.


"CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil reported how he and his team couldn’t find anybody outside a New Hampshire grocery that was "feeling good about the economy."

While previewing an upcoming CBS News segment set to air on Sunday, Dokoupil mentioned how people complained about higher food prices, despite macro signs that the economy is improving.

The co-host made the claim while President Biden continues to try and sell his economic achievements – aka "Bidenomics" – ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Noting why, he said, "Food prices for example, are generally going up. And we talked to a bunch of people outside of a grocery store in Derry, New Hampshire, we couldn’t find anybody feeling good about the economy."

In one interview, Dokoupil spoke to a local woman and tried to reassure her with the fact that the government has brought the inflation rate down. The woman laughed at the host and shook her head, replying, "I don’t know what pocketbook they’re looking at, but it ain’t mine."

She also added she had to take a second job.

If you make a LOT of money - what's happened over the last several years doesn't affect you. If you don't drive, you can afford expensive stuff and eat out all the time because you can afford to do that - you got the money, it's irrelevant to you.

But otherwise - you find EVERY BILL you have - is going up and HAS gone up - a lot. Gas is up. Rent is up. Groceries are up. Clothes are up. Heating bill is up. EVERY BILLS - is up. Credit cards are up (because rates are up). Every damned thing you buy is up. Did you used to buy stuff at the "dollar" store - you know - where everything is a dollar? Yeah. It's a buck and a quarter. No chit. EVERYTHING COSTS MORE and it's directly related to a handful of things the Biden administration is 100% on the hook for.

So yeah, tell them employment is up. Great - I got to RETURN to the crappy job YOU made me leave. Inflation is down. Yeah - from last year. STILL higher than it was years ago AND THE PRICES aren't coming down.

You know what ISN'T up? My income. That's what.

So maybe the nation's economy is great. Means nothing to me. MY ECONOMY is what matters to me, and it blows.

I talk to people a lot. I am a talker, I talk to strangers, I cant find anyone who wants to vote for Joe Biden,
I have spoken a to a number of never Trumpers who say they cannot vote for Trump , but they are anxious to vote for Biden, he just happens to be the other name. Everyone I talk to believes he should go back to his basement.

My husband has been doing a lot of the grocery shopping and i don't think he pays much attention to prices. I went to the store yesterday to get some collards and a few other items. Holy crap...unless it was/is "on sale", everything I looked at or bought was high. Even the "sale" prices are not so great.
We are not rich nor are we poor but I am somewhat frugal.
I do feel for people that are working and struggling; this economy cannot be easy on them.

When Biden decided to turn our country away from energy independence on day one of his administration, he set all of the economy woes into action. The price of fuel is part and parcel of all items bought and sold in the economy. His actions guaranteed prices would go up and stay up.

Yes everything is much higher, plus the boxes and packages are much lighter. A 5 lb. bag of sugar is now 4 lbs. anybody else notice that.?

Hush now. we are all supposed to be too stupid to know that. Yes that move has to rate as one of the most stupid things ever done by any President. It was all a part of the effort to force us into EV's, That move alone destroyed not only the economy of the United States, but of the world.
