It’s more complicated than that. |
| Incumbent president gets the blame or the credit for all things relating to the economy. That’s the way of the world. Grow up. |
As James Carville put it, It's the economy, stupid." |
The economy is much better than two years ago. The problems are global not U.S. |
Shhhh-you're going to confuse them with facts and logic. |
So you are for getting rid of welfare, food stamps and government schools and doing away with federal spending on aid to other counties. |
I'll refer you to the Vox article linked on the previous page that shows the US inflation is worse than other countries.....

The government got rid of the misery of ex a while back but it’s still unofficially tracked. It’s highest now than in over 40 years…before this it was under Carter and Obama. https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2022/05/17/new-misery-index-at-12-year-high/amp/ Anyone who got a simple raise is now seeing eliminated and we're worse off now. Imagine getting a 4% pay raise which is decent and only ti see it wiped out and you’re now making less. The average increase is 3.4 percent this year. That’s way under the real inflation rates. Plus shortages due to a Biden’s awful management of the supply chain is not only hitting people with inflation but also causing pain. Biden’s FDA sat on the formula shortage so now babies can’t even eat. Putin saw weakness and made a move so here we are…this so what weak senile leadership gets you |
It’s framed as an assertion. Where are the facts? Where is the logic? Do better. Try harder. |
It’s working parents staring at the gas pump. |
Stock market, gas prices, inflation—people feel the problems here. |
And their medical bills. Universal health care now. |
Nope. The way the government has managed other crises........ NO WAY do I want the government managing my health care. |
Would rather not. If you’ve ever dealt with the VA you’d know…even tricare…it’s an utter disaster. I have full VA benefits and don’t use them. I pay as it’s much better. But medical bills are high and insurance companies are denying things they shouldn’t. But this administration has helped enrich big pharma who made billion due to mandates by force to get a vaccine that turns out isn’t really effective. Ironically more people have died under Biden’s watch from COVID then under Trump…and that’s with a vaccine. Horrible mismanagement. But we do have 40+ billion to send to Ukraine. And if you disagree with it you’re called a Putin supporter. We could have used that for the baby formula crisis and help work on supply chain…but we need to “support the current thing” |
Employment, profits, GDP, consumption all up. Biggest drags on the US economy are exports because of global economy & inflation because of supply chain problems. The stock market is not the economy. I’m buying the dip. |
