Trump was in office 4 years before. His performance sucked and he was fired. Biden led the largest increase in production and employment in history. We had the BEST economy in the first world (post-pandemic) and the LOWEST inflation in the first world (post-pandemic). Right wing nuts tripped over themselves to shout at the rain but we all made a ton of money under Biden. Profit and return records were everywhere.
And that's why the economy (along with immigration) were the top two issues in the 2024 election. And Biden, then Harris, was losing to Trump in poll after poll on who would handle either one of them better. That above screed is just partisan spin. It was so good that the Biden PR team told the media to stop using the word Bidenomics. That doesn't make any sense if the economy was going so well under his watch. Also, democrats lost the Senate as well. Y'all had the WH and both houses of Congress back in 2021. Lost them all by 2025. Let me guess? Right-wing lies? The people didn't know how well they had it because of Faux News and talk radio.
The ultimate proof is that after four years of Trump and four years of Biden, America decided to go back to Trump. There's not enough spin to dispute that fact.
Logic? The republicans have convinced you that giving tax breaks to the top 1% (me - thank you) and cutting support for those at the bottom is best for the country. He has given so many tax breaks to us at the top that it will cost someone else, down the road, $3-4 trillion more debt.
I doubt that you're part of the 1%. If you were, logic would have it that you'd be a republican since their policies benefit you more than democrats. Logic says that the 1% benefit more than the middle class. According to the Tax Foundation, the top 1% paid over $1 trillion dollars in taxes. The bottom 90% paid $531 billion.
LINK You pay more in, you're going to get more bang for your buck if it's cut. BTW, for all the tax breaks you allegedly got, I'm willing to bet that you kept every last dime of those cuts and didn't send a penny back to DC.
The Democrats have a logical plan. Raise revenue from those who have money and continue to support healthcare needs for those at the bottom. The GOP has you twisted so far around illogic that you believe that less expenses and more money for rich people is awesome!
So, why didn't they propose this when democrats had the WH, House, and Senate? I've heard since I was a teen about how the rich should "pay their share". What I haven't heard is what makes up their "fair share". You do forget that nearly all those people in Congress are millionaires themselves. The donors that they deal with are millionaires and billionaires. Why didn't they repeal Trump's tax cuts and put in new and higher tax rates for the wealthy? The democrats have you believing that they actually care about the little guy. Isn't that why union bosses are democrat supporters, but more of the rank & file vote republican?
The GOP and the president are untrustworthy. They arent honoring past deals. Trump has been canceling shit left and right to blue states that were approved by congress already and youre bitching about hardball on a deal? Pound salt dude. Read this:

That quote can explain how Trump and republicans are currently back in power. Democrats didn't do much of anything (or really acknowledge that there was a problem in the first place). That's why your party is out of power. If Trump and the republicans don't do any better, they'll pay the price at the voting booth. BTW, the democrats are playing hardball on subsidies that they wrote, voted on, and passed with the sunset date at the end of this year. Can't the argument be said that democrats aren't honoring the deal that they made in passing the American Rescue Plan Act?
