NBC's Chuck Todd expressed his frustration that the majority of Americans believe the economy is in a recession or a depression and called it a "right-wing echo chamber" problem. "51% believe the economy is in a recession or depression. I mean, look, it's just not true," Chuck Todd declared on his MSNBC program on Tuesday. "This economy is frustrating," Todd acknowledged. "This economy with COVID has been -- I've got money and I can't find something. But my god, there's jobs. There's good jobs." "Is this the right-wing echo chamber is better than the Democratic echo chamber problem?" Todd asked Democratic strategist and Obama admin alumn Jennifer Palmieri. "Or is there something else missing?" Todd asked. "People don't feel like the economy is secure and that they're doing well," Palmieri said. "But the good thing for Biden is, you know, there's a lot that is going right in the economy, so people's feelings could turn around quickly. you know, it could -- by the time you get to the fall, people could be feeling better and you'll see." "This is a first-world problem weirdly enough. I got to tell people go live in another country and realize we have it pretty good here," Todd said of understaffed establishments. <blockquote>CHUCK TODD: I want to go back to this, Jen. 51% believe the economy is in a recession or depression. I mean, look, it's just not true. JENNIFER PALMIERI, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: I know. CHUCK TODD: This economy is frustrating. This economy with COVID has been -- I've got money and I can't find something. But my god, there's jobs. There's good jobs. Is this the right-wing echo chamber is better than the Democratic echo chamber problem? JENNIFER PALMIERI: For sure. CHUCK TODD: Or is there something else missing? JENNIFER PALMIERI: I mean, for sure, the right-wing was always better than Democratic echo chamber. It's not because Democrats aren't smart or strategic but we don't repeat what we're told to say and we never will. CHUCK TODD: Not good at echoing. Rashida Tlaib, she's going to be quite the echo chamber tonight. JENNIFER PALMIERI: Moreover, people don't feel like the economy is secure and that they're doing well... but the good thing for biden is, you know, there's a lot that is going right in the economy, so people's feelings could turn around quickly. you know, it could -- by the time you get to the fall, people could be feeling better and you'll see.</blockquote>
