The idea that Americans think putting republicans in power will improve the economy is just nonsense as always

Understandably, inflation is the top concern among voters right now. The problem is that it should not affect their midterm vote. Putting republicans in power is not going to do ANYTHING to curb inflation. Even if there was an economic policy that could drastically reduce current inflation, republicans sure as hell would not pass it. It’s not like they have a nuanced, informed strategy for the economy. All they ever do is cut taxes for corporations or top earners which has no real effect on the middle class or poor. All it really accomplishes is blowing up the deficit.

Do i even need to point out that blowing up the deficit does not help inflation?

We know that they will blow up the deficit because obviously Trump did.

American voters are always deluding themselves. They just seem to forget that republicans do jack shit. What they should be reminded of is that the economy, historically, performs better under democrats. I’m not going to pretend that democrats have done much of anything about the current inflation issue, but since every other economic metric has done well under democrats, we might as well keep them in power.

Republicans had full control 2018 and on.
You better run that by Pelosi, she sure thought she was in control and acted like it.

Now you’re catching on! Of course the economy isn’t “bad”. Inflation is definitely huge problem, but every other economic metric has done well. See even with GDP, the dip we had the last two quarters were from gains in 2021. That means the GDP is at the very least where it was in Trump’s final month.

Trump spent like a drunk leftist.
And he got more accomplished in 4 years than the GOP and Dems have done in the last 40.

Agreed, but for Trump to get anything done with the House, he seemed to have to bend to
the old hag's wishes. They hated him and wanted no wins for the orange man

He made inflation worse. And he would have spent more if he could have.
He isnt the solution to the economic problems we have.

Not as long as Biden has the final say, they won't.

Republicans can write the bills, but they don't mean shit til the president signs them.

He is the only way for defeating the radical left who want to destroy this country economically, socially, culturally, and militarily.

Defeating these sycophants is what unites us. We can debate fiscal issues after.
