Right Track/Wrong Track

[Independent thinker]

Not even remotely true.

He said he would have no inflation.

On top of the inflation, we’re spending a billion a day in Iran instead of price/debt relief.
Do you not care about that any more? 3 years ago (under Biden of course), you wrote the following.



Suddenly that debt doesn’t matter any more...right?

Cue the excuses.....

Doesn't matter what Trump says. But democrats did have 20% inflation.

2021 - 4.7%

2022 - 8.0%

2023 - 4.1%

2024 - 2.9%

equals a total of 19.7% or rounded off to 20%

Prove it or are we just supposed to take your word for it. Just remember, we're talking about right direction/wrong direction POLLING.

The democrats think a right turn is the wrong track and the republicans think a left turn is the wrong track.....and visa versa. And we the people are all on the same track, going different directions.

You didn’t just add up inflation totals to make 20% inflation right?

I guess the blob ran up $120T debt then between 2017 and 2020.

2017: $30% +/-
2018: $30% +/-
2019: $30% +/-
2020:$30% +/-

equals $120T.

Funny you forget the Nixon/Ford years of inflation, stagflation, with wage and price controls that failed too boot. Nixon averaged 6% over 5 years.

Just another GOP mess handed off to a Democrat.

LOL. So, you had to go all the way back to Nixon to try proving your point?

You mean the Administration that handed Carter a floundering economic mess? Didn't you bring up the GOP's favorite whipping post Jimmy Carter?

Back in 2008, my answer would have been "derailment".

Otherwise for this 21st century, I see things more on the wrong track. Our presidents and Congress have no stomach for fiscal discipline, last seen in the GHW Bush and Clinton years.

Yes, it was the Republican's Contract With America during the Clinton years who twisted his arm behind his back, making him cry uncle, which led to some of the best recent years of fiscal restraint regarding the national deficit. I do have to give some credit to Clinton though for realizing that American voters swept that Contract With America into power.

The deficit reduction act was passed in 1993 under Clinton with both house of Congress under Democrat majority. The cooperation between Clinton and GHW Bush in getting the bill passed through congress is leadership that is missing today.
