Biden and Trump ask voters if they're 'better off' than they were 4 years ago. It's complicated
apnews.com/article/biden-trump-voters-pandemic-era-economy-inflation-597f4f2f2b2e32d8933802e37ef66913
Quick Glance: Biden Contrasts Himself with Trump Through 'Are You Better Off Today' Question
- President Joe Biden used the 'are you better off today than you were four years ago' question as a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump, reminding voters of the challenges during Trump's term.
- Biden also criticized Trump for his 'bloodbath' comment, emphasizing the need to reject political violence. He redirected the narrative by focusing on the 'better off' theme and highlighted the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.
- Furthermore, Biden underscored the progress made since Trump's presidency, including COVID-19 control, the return of 15 million jobs, and stock market recovery. Biden's campaign sees a resurgence of interest in a Biden-Trump rematch among voters.
- The article also mentions Biden's comments on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his support for Rep. Colin Allred, positioning Cruz as an ally of Trump. Biden conveyed the message that the focus should be on Trump's intentions and actions, rather than on himself.

Rishi Sunak hints at help for Waspi women as he promises 'thoughtful response' to damning report
news.sky.com/story/rishi-sunak-hints-at-help-for-waspi-women-as-he-promises-thoughtful-response-to-damning-report-13099810
Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
- In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.
- The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.
- The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.
- Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.

thehill.com/business/4525863-annual-inflation-rose-to-3-2-percent-in-february/
Quick Glance: Inflation Decline and Consumer Impact
- Inflation in Germany continues to decline, primarily due to cheaper energy prices. Experts predict a further decrease in the year ahead, but with potential challenges. Higher inflation rates diminish consumer purchasing power.
- In February, energy and fuels decreased in price, while food prices increased. Services also became more expensive. Consumer prices rose by 0.4 percent compared to the previous month.
- The German government forecasts rising consumer prices and wage increases above the inflation rate. The expectation is that employees will spend the money and boost private consumption. However, the Bundesbank President warns against premature interest rate cuts.
- Despite the decline in inflation, the Bundesbank cautions against premature interest rate cuts. The European Central Bank aims for price stability in the medium term. Higher interest rates can curb demand but also burden the economy.
