Voters punished Biden for problems he didn't cause and effectively addressed

[M14 Shooter]

Oh come on. You know that both Trump and Biden dumped trillions into the economy to keep it functioning.

Thus: Biden caused the inflation.

And the FED does what it is supposed to do albeit slowly

Thus: Biden didn't bring inflation down.

All cause, no cure.

What is Trump going to do regarding inflation? Nothing

How do you fix 2.1% inflation?

And the FED does what it is supposed to do albeit slowly
And fixing the supply chain issues went a long ways towards ramping inflation as did the release of oil from the Strategic Reserve
What is Trump going to do regarding inflation? Nothing

The problem was that the Fed should have raised rates a long time ago, like before Trump's first term. But no one wanted to because they were still shell-shocked from the 2008 recession, and wanted to keep unemployment low.

I already pointed out two ways that Biden addressed inflation. You of course ignored them

But thanks for pointing out that inflation is now low

No... you made your usual ignorant, baseless claims.
You -then- gave credit to the Fed.

But thanks for pointing out that inflation is now low

And thank you for pointing out Trump doesn't need to do anything to fix it.

So inflation is low and it’s a non-issue

Too bad you weren’t saying that a week ago huh?

 

[M14 Shooter]

So inflation is low and it’s a non-issue

High prices due to to Biden's inflation are the issue.
Not that you are willing to admit it.

I was pointing out to the poster that Biden didn't have anything to do with bringing inflation down, the fed did that and they didn't actually have to raise interest rates if Biden and company had increased inflation in the first place.

I pointed out two very specific things that Biden did to address inflation and you ignored both

And we also know that both Trump and Biden poured trillions into the economy … but you blame only Biden

I find you to be cynically dishonest

 

[WEATHER53]

Conclusions and suggestions made by and from the losers, especially cheaters , is NEVER useful nor valid

 

[Lesh]

And the idea of electing Trump because of something that occurred years ago and has been addressed is… baffling… to say the least

Well, according to the election results, voters agree with me more than they agree with you.

Such is the power of right wing propaganda

You mean people aren't still paying up to 120% more now for any number of items than they were when Trump was in office?

 

[Lesh]

You mean people aren't still paying up to 120% more now for any number of items than they were when Trump was in office?

But you just said that Trump isn’t going to do squat about that?

And oh yeah… he is as guilty as Biden of making that happen

 

[M14 Shooter]

Such is the power of right wing propaganda

The Harris campaign agreed inflation is a problem and had a 'plan' to address it.
Why would the Harris campaign confirm right wing propaganda?

 

[M14 Shooter]

But you just said that Trump isn’t going to do squat about that?

You said inflation is fixed.

LOL. Oh, come on. That is miniscule to the power of the other media, who attack Trump 24/7.

Lesh is the stereotypical partisan bigot.
She has no actual understanding of anything, she simply parrots the party line - even if the party line contradicts what she said yesterday.

‘In what will be a generous gift to his successor, President Joe Biden beat inflation, brought down gas prices, created millions of jobs, spurred strong growth, boosted retirement savings and revived American manufacturing — just in time for Donald Trump to take credit for all of it.

Any objective assessment of Biden’s tenure would show him to have been a highly successful president, especially on economics (even if no president can actually bring down the price of gas all by himself). The fact that he is widely viewed as a failure shows just how warped our political and informational systems are.

In the inevitable circular firing squad Democrats and progressives are now assembling, one of the most prominent criticisms is that the party plays too much to its highly educated base, and if it wants to succeed then it must reconnect with working-class voters. As Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said Wednesday, “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working-class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”

Yet, far from “abandoning” working-class people, Biden’s has been the most economically populist presidency in decades, probably since FDR’s. He was the first president to walk a picket line, with striking autoworkers. His labor record has been exemplary: He banned noncompete agreements for most workers, expanded overtime pay and saved the pensions of hundreds of thousands of workers. The Federal Trade Commission is finally attacking monopoly power. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which all but lay fallow under Trump, is protecting consumers again. The bills he signed have begun a manufacturing boom, focused purposefully on jobs that don’t require college degrees.’

Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed

The fight against rising prices has essentially been won. But few in the electorate seem aware.

President Biden, yet another Democratic president who cleaned up yet another Republican mess.

Trump inherited a strong economy from President Obama – a strong economy Trump managed to run into the ground.

Trump again inherits a strong economy from President Biden – which Trump will likely run into the ground.

Sure....sure he did.

If the driver you posted were even remotely true, kamalamadingdong would be president elect.

If they got the middle class to pay more it was only with the cooperation of the Republicans.

And? They worked with Republicans to raise taxes on the working class is not a defense.

And, yes, I agree that politicians should not make promises that they cannot keep. Both parties do it. That's why they should get rid of the filibuster.

Sorry that you have to report income that you did not have to before, but $20k is far too high not to pay taxes, and $600 will have such low taxes as to be insignificant.

I used to support myself on $4/hr and had to pay taxes, so don't expect me to cry for you.

I didn't say I would did I? It's not about me. It's about Democrats broken promises and the ramifications of that.
