If you look back at US history, it’s mostly Republican presidents fucking the economy, then a democratic president putting things back in order, leaving a good economy only to be followed by a Republican president who then goes to tank it.
Also US history: every election Republicans are boasting about the economy they received from a democratic president, but act as if it’s all their work, and complain about how horrible economies democratic presidents received, acting as that was somehow the fault of a Republican president
Yes, very true. It’s why I keep wondering just what the hell people are talking about when they castigate Biden/Kamala so much for the economy. All economic indicators were going in the right direction after the massive disruption caused by Covid and by donvict’s terrible handling of it. It is unclear just what people expected him and Kamala to do and say about the economy? Were they supposed to lie and say the economy was NOT good? People on the left act like it was the worstest thing ever to say the economy was actually good, while they insist it was awful for everyone but the very rich. Compared to what point in time?
Do I wish he could have gone further leftist/populist on things? Of course. Do I think that he would have been able to actually do any of that, given the obstruction from qons? Of course not.
