How’s That Stimulus Bill Doing?

On Thursday, Joe Biden announced that the stimulus bill is working even better than had been expected. Biden’s dissociation from reality is nearly complete, but one wonders: aren’t there any journalists who are capable of looking up the administration’s predictions and asking Biden fact-based questions? Or is that considered too much work?
