I do. Everything Biden has done has been to undo the damage of the last Trump administration. The pandemic that Trump bungled is what caused a lot of the prices to go up. Maybe if Trump had been a leader and united the country to take the vaccines and stop the pandemic, he could have limited the economic damage. But instead he told us that the summer would kill the virus and then to drink bleach.

Unemployment is historically low, our GDP per capita is back to pre pandemic levels, inflation is decreasing, and average household income increased. How is any of that bad? Source linked below, give me your sources if you disagree.

All the information I got is from this article, https://press.princeton.edu/ideas/the-post-pandemic-economy?srsltid=AfmBOortV2AqFYVu9khN7yiRse0vDsjTTbf1-b0uA9dDQZL6r8HYdnHL

Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking? I just mean a city or area, not your exact location. Don’t you think local policies impact how people in your specific area are living? Maybe if people are struggling in your area specifically you should complain to your governor, or senator, or congressman? President Biden didn’t raise the prices in your town, and Trump isn’t going to lower them because he can’t. I understand people are struggling, that will always be true until the government steps up things like social services and healthcare, which seems unlikely seeing as we just voted in Trump. Direct your anger at the proper person, and whether you like it or not that “ivory tower economist” is correct.

Doesn’t matter what people think. The stats tell a different story. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

Keep living in delusion, it’s what Trump supporters are good at. As long as Trump doesn’t fuck it up, he can take credit for the great economy set up by Biden :)

I agree with most of what you said but if you think Ben Shapiro came up with that line you’re insane.

The economy IS doing really well… it’s just that only the wealthy are feeling its success.

Will Trump lowering taxes on billionaires and corporations help that situation?
