Just remember how bad we had it under Biden

[SweetTea]

The number of federal employees didn't really change during the Biden administration. Laying off hundreds of thousands of employees quickly is a different story.

Not sure why you have such disdain for people you never met, especially when you have no idea what they did for the country.

President Biden has overseen a nearly 6% growth of the full-time, non-seasonal federal workforce during his four years in office, including a jump at nearly every major agency.

What’s 6% of 2%?

Not much.

You don’t actually think this is a significant impact on the economy? We added over 6 million jobs under Biden. 120k of those were federal jobs.

For starters, adding 120,000 more federal employees to an already severely bloated government is a terrible idea. Secondly, you didn't add 6 million new jobs. Many of those were just people coming back to work following COVID.

By your theory then, the perfect economy would be total immigration.


Trump created no deficit, that was all the democrat's doing.


You can't make years long term predictions based on days-old trends.


Solution: produce more.


Funny that high tariffs on the USA have HELPED 190 other countries! But when WE do it back to them, doom and gloom, right, frenchfry?


Bullshit. Biden changed all the plans against the advise of his own generals. You are full of crap as usual.


Biden actively fought with Zelensky to REJECT a peace deal. Then Biden gave. impoverished Iran 6 billion dollars.


BLOW ME you Chinese-Soros backed hack.

You have nothing but Trump's bullshit and lies. You're the richest nation in the world, with the highest income. How exactly are other countries "screwing you" by selling you goods you want to buy??????

You're NEVER going to produce T-shirts, or toys, or electronics, or small appliances. Your corporations are screwing you by not paying you a living wage. Your government is screwing you by giving tax breaks to corporations and billionaires, but not working Americans.

But your allies and trade partners are NOT screwing you and only an idiot would think otherwise. Trump believes that because HE SCREWS EVERYONE, that everyone else is out to screw him. That's why Trump went bankrupt 6 times - by trying to screw everyone over.

Today, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Chris Crebs, Trump's head of election security for DHS in 2020. The crime: Crebs refused to say the 2020 election was stolen and certified it as honest and fair.

In further illegal and pointless retribution, the Donnie the Dictator sanctioned some more law firms who opposed his policies in court and won.

First off, you’re retreating from your original point which, if it existed at all, was that the economy was surviving off of inflated government spending. The numbers just aren’t there since 120k jobs isn’t enough to make any significant difference.

Second, I used the pre-COVID employment peak for comparison. We added 6 million jobs from the peak of employment before COVID. I knew you would try to make this point, and you didn’t even check the data before you opened your mouth. Not surprised.

My point was that the federal government is bloated. We have too many federal employees. Anybody with much of a brain knows that. Adding $120,000 more jobs doesn't help. It's that simple.

Yes, the infrastructure bill, which put us even further in debt, did account for some job growth. Again, you guys don't have a clue how to make the economy work organically. It's all about spending more money or taxing people more. It's insane and ignorant.

There was plenty of organic growth in the economy under Biden. You aren’t seriously claiming it was all due to the infrastructure bill and federal employment?

 

[LeftofLeft]

They're still pretending it was the worst economy ever.

It's what they're told, it's what they believe without question. This is a cult.

It was the worst Inflation

Yeah I kind of am. Those things and recovery from COVID. What policies of Biden promoted organic growth?

 

[Winco]

Yeah.....Biden propped up the market with printed money.

It's hilarious how Biden and Obama both created record Jobs Numbers, yet the trump cult ALWAYS screams, those were FAKE JOBS or Even Part-time Jobs. Nothing about JOBS was real under Obama or Biden.

Now, trump had a NET overall Jobs LOST number.
But somehow the trump cult will claim that trump was the greatest JOBS president ever.
Laughable.

My rent is paid, and I'm not paying tariffs on anything, because I'm boycotting American made goods.

The biggest problem we have right now is that the USA is attacking our economy and threatening our sovereignty so long as Donald Trump is in office. That means our way of life would disappear, along with our government funded health care, guaranteed incomes, and gun safety laws, and our welcoming of immigrants.

Your mistake is thinking that because we're easy going, polite, and always eager to help, that we're weak, or pushovers. Every time Trump came up against Trudeau, Trump backed down because bullies do that when people stand up to them.

Just like Trump backed down on his tariffs today. Trump is a clueless buffoon and lifelong criminal you've elected President.

Not working out so well for you these days.

Trump backed down to the cuck Trudeau?


Who is still in office?

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Just remember how bad it was back in January under Biden. Sure there was a record stock market, record GDP, record employment, 20 year record dollar index, but there was no one calling trans people freaks, civil war successionists were not being honored with statues and military base names, Iwo Jima and Tuskegee black soldiers had their profiles somewhere on the internet. Utter disaster!

Of course now no one wants our bonds, our dollars, nor our stocks, but such is the cost of greatness I guess.

Disaster administration 2.0 has no fucking idea what it's doing. Great job, rubes.

It was horrible under Biden. People were putting stickers of Joe Biden saying "I did that" on gas pumps. Illegals were dropped off on street corners by the bus load. We limped to

The Biden years were the worst in my memory and I have a long memory. People were coming to fights over toilet paper! Gas was almost $8.00 a gallon. There were shortages of almost everything. We had to go to the Mom's League to get formula and diapers for the grandbaby. Oh yes, you reminded me of just how bad it was.

Thank you Trump. God Bless you for putting an end to the democrat nightmare.

The toilet paper fights were at the beginning of lockdown - under Trump. Baby formula wasn't Biden's fault.

Gas prices were high all over the world. Trump is the guy who signed the production agreement with OPEC in December of 2020, which limited their production through 2021, leading to worldwide shortages as lockdowns ended.

Trump thought it would help drive up gas prices for American oil companies who were hurting because of low prices during lockdown, and knowing Biden would be blamed for higher prices. A little poison pill Trump left for the Biden Administration.

Trump left a mess and you're complaining things didn't magically get cleaned up the moment Biden took office.

Worse than the 70s?

The collapsing bond market caused Trump to blink.

Inside Trump’s Reversal on Tariffs: From ‘Be Cool!’ to ‘Getting Yippy’

Economic turmoil, particularly a rapid rise in government bond yields, caused President Trump to reverse course on the steep levies.

Trudeau left office on the 5th of April. Mark Carney is now the Canadian Prime Minister.

If you promote it, it’s not organic. Organic growth happens on its own when it’s not inhibited.

Tariffs will inhibit organic growth.
