Just do another round of stimulus check and let Donny deal with the bill. 😏

more like stabilize. without the second term to actually make some progress this is going to go in the shitter fast.

If the democrats are so sick of getting swapped out maybe they should field some decent candidates.

You thought inflation was bad. Get ready for Trumpflation.

I guess that's better then renaming the war economy "Bidenomics"

Grow food if you can now folks shit is about to get bad. Buy flour in mass if you can.

It basically happens every cycle, easy to go back all the way to George Bush Sr -> Clinton ( if not earlier).

But the problem is, the current economic boom is even more K-shaped than any other in recent history; half of the population are struggling worse than before, but their plight is masked by an incredible boom for the other half.

I can’t blame the working class for thinking back to ~2016, and remembering things fondly.

Trump will only make the current situation worse, but I can at least understand how the US ended up in its current predicament.

And we have several pandemic vectors on the rise - again. Well, with one major change, we now have a vaccine denialist in charge of core agencies. Prospects look good for the vulture industries.

I see it more as speed of descent.

I'm of the opinion this country is sold, and died about half a century ago as a democracy, and this is just leftover momentum. All but waned momemtum.

Our vote isn't on whether to reorient the economy to reflect the priorities of its citizens, merely how, and if at all, to manage some of the social issue symptoms of our crumbling commons, the ruins of public education, as the owners search for new vectors of exploitation.

I see voting blue as akin to requesting we leave the water pumps turned on for this sinking ship to buy time(D), and voting red a vote turn them off because some passengers have been deluded into hating other passengers and really, really want to watch them drown(R) despite being in the same boat with them.

The holes are our economic policy, but ask either party about patching them and you'll get something akin to "What holes? This ship is unsinkable! If you think there's holes, you're the problem."

Dont worry though, there are lifeboats, just enough for the politicians and their donors. Wealth means not having any national allegience.

Lmao, he rebuilt the stock market.

That is not the economy.

This is a chart showing percentage difference over 12 months of CPI for the last 20 years. Biden's presidency came with less than 1% inflation which only rise to record levels in the first 2 years. It has come down to high 2% and settled at that level.

In the last 12 months everything other than energy prices have rise by 2.4%. A 2-2.4% in prices after having 2 years of near 10% inflation.

You can see how Democrats saying that they have done good for economy and common man seems hollow.

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?

Imagine believing that genocide joe "rebuilt" the economy in any kind of just, sustainable, or meaningful way.

i'm holding a huge cash position, waiting for the inevitable downturn to buy up assets.

Why does he look like Kim Jong Un in this picture 😂
