Joe Biden looks lost as staff appear to ignore him and flock to Barack Obama at White House event –

Oh the IRONY

 

Both parties supported NAFTA and the resulting outsourcing. At least Trump stopped the TPP.

 

47 million people quit their jobs in the first year of Biden's presidency.

Would you tell the 25 million people locked down in Shanghai that COVID has been defeated?

 

And I turned it into how posting out-of-context videos is the truly pathetic path here...

I sort of like that a POTUS welcoming back a former POTUS doesn't have to elbow people out of the way to be in every shot and conversation... Thinking that's "being ignored" or "looking lost" is pretty pathetic in my book

 

And then COVID hit didn't it. It was Trump who beat the economist predictions by turning around the economy and getting us into the STRONG post-covid recovery.

We weren't in a recession when Clinton took office he came into office on strong growth after the Dem tax increase induced recession. Biden did not take office during a recession the economy had turned around months earlier and was already on a strong recovery and then he started paying people not to go back to work, and the Dems took back the Congress a year before 2008 recession and would not pass measures as Bush did during that recession he inherited in 2001, in fact did little to try on mitigate the slowdown which led into the recession.

Not when you look at who had the majority power. The Rep specialties, balance budgets and surpluses or close to it, high standards of living, more people working and rising incomes. Less intrusive government. More freedom and liberty and a safer society.

 

No.

The country was in recession in June 1992, 4 months before the elections.

If you qualify +4.1% GDP growth (Q4 2020) as a strong recovery, what do you think of Biden who has just made the country grow by 5.7% for the whole year 2021?

You can't run from the facts.

For 35 years, Republican POTUS terms have been disasters.

Wars, recession, unemployment or appalling management of a pandemic.

And every time the Conservatives set the house on fire, voters turn to the Democrats to save the day.

Balanced budgets ? Make me laugh.

Are you going to try to convince me that Trump was a fan of fiscal responsibility?

Laughable.

When a POTUS doesn't deny the seriousness of a pandemic, it's economics that makes or breaks a presidency.

And the reality is that things are going well on that front.

 

Now go see how many are employed compared to 2019

 

Everyone ignores him.

 

He was picked because he had the best chance at beating Trump. Democrats thought the 2020 election was mandate for a progressive agenda. They're going to find out in November that wasn't the case.

 

It ended March of 1991 ans we were in a full recovery when Clinton took office.

"The United States entered recession in 1990, which lasted 8 months through March 1991"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1990s_recession_in_the_United_States

We recovered with the strongest rebound in history 3rd quarter of 2020. Biden was along for the wave.

You can't run from the facts.

Thanks to Dem Congresses. When the Dems took back the Congress Jan 2007, a year before any recession, they were handed a measly $161B deficit. Full employment. Strong GDP. Then they proceeded to screw it up.

Those facts thingies

You weren't around?

He was the one advocating across the board department cuts. The Dems and Dino's didn't go for it.

He took it as serious as his health advisers until they discovered the power that had suddenly been put in their hands. And of course his OWS is what saved the country and the world Biden should be kissing his feet for it.

 

[Dupe

 

Trump was not there.

 

Democrats can down play this all they want but when has a sitting president been dissed like that in his own house?

 

"Fat kids to cupcakes"

Or donuts.

 

It's always the Democrats' fault.

 

I'll take it your need to move the goal as a concession on the points I made but you did not respond to.

Bush43 and Trump especially during their years with Rep Congresses have the lowest unemployment rates of them all and when everyone is working you do not create lots of new jobs. Which would you rather have an economony desperate to put people back to work and create new jobs or everyone already working so incomes start to rise as happened with both. It is not just a matter of who is President.

 

You have the right to believe what you want.

I've said over and over again that the last three Democratic POTUS inherited recessions and got the country back on track each time, creating millions of jobs.

That's what the chart shows and it covers a 41 year period.

Trump inherited a perfectly healthy economy and if for you just preserving it until 2020 is an accomplishment, unfortunately I can't do anything about the ideological blindness.

 

That's some nice spin there.

It's a very well known economic principle that as inflation rises, unemployment drops.

COVID has not been defeated, we are just learning to not overreact to it.

Your last comment is a falsehood so blatant not even Psaki would dare peddle it. Take a look around.

 

Where did you take your economics classes?

If this is a 'very well known economic principle', why doesn't it apply to Brazil and Argentina?

 

Bush43 inherited a recession. Obama inherited a recession which began a YEAR after he and his fellow Democrats took back the Congress and started passing their policies. And Trump inherited a good economy because the Rep had taken back the Congress starting in 2010 getting the entire body in 2015.

Why do you believe there is ONLY a President and he runs EVERYTHING?
