Why would anyone trust Trump more on the economy when he never even offers specific policy ideas?

The fact you only learned Ebonics is failing you now.

I never got less than a B in English. You know more about ebonics than I do inbred.

Obama’s 2009 Recovery Act Kicked Off Over 10 Years Of Economic Growth​

Updated Jan 11, 2021, 02:41am EST

Exactly 11 years ago today, February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or the Recovery Act into law. The $831 billion in spending kicked off the longest period of economic growth and job creation in American history.

Over a decade of economic growth

The National Bureau of Economic Research or NBER determines the length of economic expansions and recessions. The recent growth period started in July 2009 and has lasted for 127 months through January 2020. This surpasses the previous record of 120 months from March 1991 to March 2001, which then led into the Great Recession that Obama inherited.

Trump plays off the fears of the ignorant. You don’t need a degree to be educated. You just need to be willing to learn.

Funny, its the left that plays the fears of people. All the time.

The Republicans are coming for your sexuality, for your babies, for your right to kill the innocent. They want their guns so that they can kill children in schools and lock up criminals.

On and on, and on, and on....ad nausea.

And why is that?
Trump took over from Obama with only 4.7% unemployment (down from the Bush Crash peak if 10%).
That went to 4.3% under Trump, and then he passed a wildly unneeded tax cut... the first ever Cut at "Full employment" (roughly 4.5%). Wildly Inflationary.
Of that last 1% (Unemp down to 3.5%) was the bottom of the barrel workers: probably 30% Black. That's why that happened.

Of course the effects of Trumpov's BORROWED PROSPERITY (a trick anyone can do but shouldn't) was eventually inflation which blossomed under Biden, but of course wasn't really his fault.
The recovery of demand post-Covid was much faster than the recovery of supply, and inflation went up on all the Wester economies.
The Eurozone Had 10.5% inflation compared to our 9%.
Biden's fault? No

The Democrats have failed to make this point .. A huge piece of economic illiteracy which may cost them the election.
#1 Election factor are those Grocery/etc prices which aren't going down... but not just here..

Trump's policies got more black men into good paying jobs than obummer could ever dream of.

Obummer was great for the rich, but he raped the middle class.

Normal people. Kameltoe whored her way to where she is.

We who lived in California back then, KNOW this

God you people have the emotional maturity of 14 year olds lol

we know, facts hurt your tiny little head...

No he didn't. It was Obama that had 76 months of growth before trump took over and his policies ended up creating 127 months of growth. Trump had nothing to do with it. Trump did not crate inner city good jobs either. He did not win any war against terrorism.

That's just not true dude... any movement upwards in the economy came when everyone realized Obama would finally be gone...

 

[Rambunctious]

You're projecting again.

Look in the mirror bro... its you that needs fixing....

I beg to differ, he exemplified that in his first term. Take the trade deficit, as I mentioned, it virtually exploded under Trump even with the tariffs, that cost American citizens billions of dollars, and the cash he was forced to hand out to all the farmers that suffered because of them.

And Covid was the event that revealed the emperor is wearing no clothes. His response to Covid clearly reflected his agenda, himself, period. The federal loan program, the paycheck protection program, he initiated has seen more fraud than any federal program in history, period. Government contract for things like masks, ventilators, and other goods went to companies willing to support Trump, not the most qualified. Hell, you could run a business from the basement of your Mom's house, as long as you kissed Trump's ass, well you get the contract.

To be fair, had Trump tried to veto any Covid bill, it would have been overturned, the votes by both parties to get it through led to problems with fraud, what was disappointing was the 2021 bill wasn’t any better in getting money to those in real need and more fraud. It seems when you toss around trillions, lots of fraud would appear.

Because He’s a carnival barker, a con man, a grifter.

How can people not see that?

Translation: he's learned how to be a politician.

You're wrong again. The upward movement began in 2009.

The market crashed in 08 moron... because of loans to people who couldn't repay the loans... and our government is doing it again... remember junk bonds idiot?....

The market crashed due to speculators on Wall Street and other brokerage houses and banks. They are the ones who created ARMS, then securitized them in order to make huge sums of money as they adjusted the rate of the mortgages.

The market crashed because the banks couldn't get their home loan money back so they took the loans bundled them up into junk bonds and sold the loans... but that only works for so long and we had a house of cards in our banks... then Schumer did the unthinkable... just before the election he spilt the beans and crashed the markets...

Obviously all he will actually do is give billionaires more tax cuts, but you’d think he would explain SOMETHING.

Say what you want about Harris’s ideas, but at least she has some. I mean I guess Trump is far too stupid to be able to offer any sort of nuance so he avoids even trying, but why are his supporters okay with this? Nothing about it makes any goddamn sense

Seriously? Where have you been the last 3 1/2 years?
