Will Economy be the primary driver for voters?

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I did explain it. There are sad stories in every economy.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SERIOUS you’d actually address the real issue in America which in inequity. The Top 10% have consolidated $75T more wealth at the expense of the bottom 90%. In aggregate we are very prosperous but those at the bottom struggle in 2024 like they did in 2019 like they did in 2009 like they did in 1999.

The things that address inequity to help those at the bottom are pissed on by you and the GOP. You really think there isn’t enough pie when there is enough pie… it’s just all being eaten at the top.

Real solutions:

• Minimum wage increases
• Guaranteed healthcare
• Childcare option
• Affordable education and post high school skill development for non-grads
• Significantly reworked tax structure to move more burden to the top

The Richest 1 Percent Now Own a Greater Share of the Stock Market Than Ever Before

Baby bonds are one effective strategy for addressing the fact that only 1 percent of stock market wealth is owned by the bottom half of households.

If We Want Better Care, We Need a Better Tax Code

If the wealthiest paid their fair share, we could easily fund better child care, elder care, and health care for the rest of us.

Yeah. Harris has to do another if trump wants it, but he said it depended on his "mood." Not to be sexist here but .... lol

But I'd think Harris would be better off doing local (and short) interviews.

Yeah, if I was her, I wouldn’t do another debate.

Life is expensive. Shelter, energy and especially food. Good article attached about the price of the Whopper. My goodness. Frankly eye opening. To me this is the primary issue as it also ties in the border and flood of illegals. Abortion isn’t even in the top 10 issues. What does everyone else think?

How about that stock market!!!

93% of stocks are held by 10%. They are doing great. As are my 401k and IRA. I cannot touch either

I know, I know. But you do remember how big of a deal the stock market was during Trump right? He bragged about it on a daily basis as used it as an indicator of his greatest economy ever. You do remember that don’t you?

You only criticize him but claim to be an independent. Never criticize the Left: you’re like a broken lying record, Slade,

I like criticizing Trump. He ruined the Republican Party and is corrupting our culture. He is a cancer.

In your opinion. I believe Trump is the effect not the cause. People elected him. He didn’t take power by force. So your post is nonsensical. You are a very dishonest debater and really just an awful person.

Great Recession 2009

Nope. Inflation slowed down, but did not go negative.

You are incorrect.
Look at the price of Disney and Disney packages during the Great Recession. Look at vacations in general. Prices did go down for many goods and services. Less demand so companies had to lower prices on goods and services.

Oh oh

The Great Recession of 2008 to 2009 was the worst economic downturn in the U.S. since the Great Depression. Domestic product declined 4.3%, the unemployment rate doubled to more than 10%, home prices fell roughly 30% and at its worst point, the S&P 500 was down 57% from its highs

And yet inflation still kept going up as the things that cost more outweighed those that did not

Does not your job have something to do with finance?

If so how can you not know that buying power going down means prices went up?

It does and the graph shows that $100 was worth $98 during the Great Recession.

Now let’s see Biden/Harris

Same graph

20% inflation

I agree that Trump is an effect and he was elected by a very frustrated voter base. That doesn’t excuse the things he says and does.
