According To Every Republican, The Economy Is Supposed To Be So Bad

[BWK]

Not surprising since everything costs more...

Black Friday weekend shopping turnout soars to a record, as consumers seek bargains

The strong turnout could reflect shoppers' hunger for deals or a reversion to a pre-pandemic pattern of holiday shopping.

Stupid fucking OP. How can we be "experiencing" something that YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK says is "expected" to happen?

OF COURSE THEY'RE SPENDING A RECORD AMOUNT!! I spend a record amount every time I go to fucking Wal Mart thanks to your child molester n chief's massive inflation. Everything costs more. Doesn't mean they're buying more, it just means THEY'RE SPENDING MORE.

Oh yea, then they're just putting it on credit cards.

American Credit Card Debt Hits a New Record—What’s Changed Post-Pandemic?

It’s Halloween! And while you may be thinking of goblins and ghosts, nothing can haunt you the way credit card debt does. While consumers’ credit card debt dropped during COVID, signs point to it starting to crawl back to pre-pandemic levels. And over the summer, credit card usage in the U.S...

Anyone catch the OP? Read it closely:

EXPECTED TO BE RECORD LEVEL. We are 3 days into the holiday shopping season with MULTIPLE websites talking about sluggish spending for the holidays.

Truth: People have less money to spend:

Consumers grow cautious about holiday spending as inflation, debt shorten shopping lists

Americans are more cautious ahead of the holiday shopping season as they grapple with inflation, dwindling savings and rising debt.

Spending sluggish:

Can we just call the OP bullshit and end this stupid thread?

Joe Biden Has Given Us the Greatest Economy Ever

We now have the greatest economy ever. I’m saying that because President Biden won’t and everyone knows damn well that if Donald Trump was in the White House, and we had the same economic situation, he would be boasting about the greatest economy ever all the time.

Tell me the economy is good when McDonald's revenue soars as it hikes menu prices: '$18 Big Macs'

No Big Macs were $18. That was for the meal. And even that was at one location out of well over 13000 in the U.S..

Tell me how you can claim to have soaring records when your own source says " Shoppers shelled out an average of $321.41 on holiday-related purchases over the weekend. That’s roughly in line with last year."

To Democrats getting government checks, the Federal Debt doesn't matter, the government check does....

that chart conveniently doesn't show tRump's massive debt increases.

They got the money from somewhere now didn't they? Chief, you should drive across the country sometime. Everything is packed. Stores, hotels, cars, parks, they're all full.

Credit cards. The same number of shoppers spent slightly more money, more on credit, and came away with fewer items. If that is a good sign to you, then you should also go sit on Santa's knee and tell him how much you want to believe in fairy tales. He'll charge you $20 for a selfie though. Reindeer food is up 30% under Biden.

No. It’s great. It’s wonderful.

Best economy in decades. Joe Biden Has Given Us the Greatest Economy Ever Show me where I'm wrong?

Name one thing that cost less today than it did 4 years ago.

In urban America you can just steal stuff for free without penalty.

 

[MinTrut]

Have you ever heard of credit cards? Credit debt is near an all-time high.

Thread.

More dumbass, right wing talk.

Lol .. record number of people losing their jobs isn't t bad. Only the Bidenbots can spin this as good news.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The allegations of poor economy are contrived.

 

[Faun]

Lol .. record number of people losing their jobs isn't t bad. Only the Bidenbots can spin this as good news.

By record number of people losing their job, you mean a net gain of some 14 million jobs.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

14 mm new and recovered jobs

3.8 UE

all-time high of retirees

fewer people than under Trump who are working two jobs

and still 8 million jobs unfilled

go cry elsewhere, deniers

 

[Papageorgio]

Is that a fact, or another one of your precious feelings?

Inflation is a reality, whether you choose to accept it or not is on you.

Over 75 percent of the country (which I doubt are all republicans) are saying things are bad and heading in the wrong direction
