Summary
President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.
Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.
Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.
Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.
He rebuilt the economy? What the fuck are they on about? Inflation is crazy high, there’e layoffs like every other day, and 60% of the country still lives paycheck to paycheck. Does huffpo think we all have our heads up our asses?
Inflation is pretty much normal
It was high for a while from supply chain disruption and pandemic spending, but it’s back to near normal. Obviously the accumulation of the last several years suck. The next administration should take note before going overboard with tariffs
Inflation isn’t high anymore. Price increases are back to normal.
Layoffs in the past year or two have nothing to do with the economy, most companies doing the layoffs are making more profit than ever, except maybe Boeing but that’s clearly not economy related. They just want more money. Had nothing to do with the economy.
