No person/administration is perfect, but the article (which is nine month old) does note that
- inflation is down sharply
- poverty has been cut in half
- the housing shortage has eased
- the first government surpluse in many years
- increased investments in energy & raw materials
Also, real wages are up noticablely.
The article then mentions the negative of recession. That may have been a problem last year, but the OECD notes a “strong economic recovery is underway”.
Unemployment in Q1 did increase, up 0.2% year over year. The article then mentions the possibility that the inflation reduction and fiscal restraint might not last – but then again they might. Time will tell. So far, so good.
