Yeah, like polls are always right. Actually, they're usually wrong.
Well then, I guess we are lucky that the election is four months away.
1) The polls are usually right.
2) What's going to change in 4 months. The economy won't get better, we are probably going to get a second wave of Covid, and there are just going to be more things for Trump to **** up.
Any slowdowns under Republicans are because they took over after a Democrat presidency. What Republicans do is get us out of slowdowns and recessions.
No, not really. This one, Republicans had been in charge for 3 years. 2008, they had been in charge for 7 years. 1990, they had been in charge for 10 years. The ONLY recession you can claim happened right after the Republicans took over is 2001. And it's always kind of been this way. My parents used to say Republicans brought us Recessions, Democrats brought us wars. Today, Republicans bring us recessions AND wars.
Reagan inherited a troubled economy, he got us out of it and put us in a very successful one.
Reagan inherited an economy that was coming out of recession, and he put it right back into recession. The thing everyone forgets about the 1980 and 1981 recessions is that they were INTENTIONALLY triggered by the Fed to control double digit inflation. The intent was to control inflation by driving wages down.
Bush inherited a slow economy, and it was topped off after 911. He got us out of it.
Actually, the economy was doing fine until Bush started ******* with it. Then he gave us slow growth until he totally fucked it up in 2008.
The economy wasn't bad for Trump, but very sluggish and wages not increasing by much. He turned that around. What stopped him was a worldwide pandemic. Otherwise we would have enjoyed a great economy until his reelection in November.
We were going into recession even without Covid. Industrial output and demand were already slowing, corporate debt was maxed out. In short, he did what Republicans always do, let the One Percent indulge their worst behaviors and let nature take it's course. Covid just kicked in the whole rotten edifice.
Nobody is in the entire world. That's how voters will answer. However before the Wuhan virus, people were way better off under Trump than Hussein.
Most of the world is handling Covid-19 better than we are. For instance, unemployment in the EU is only 7.8% right now
