Dp. Because everything Trump touches, dies. |
Under republicans the deficit soars. Republicans have a tendency to destroy the healthy economies they inherit — see W, Trump as most recent examples. |
This mostly happens under Presidents who aren't popularly elected. |
It happens when there is a bad leader. For the last 50 years, that has mostly been republicans. |
You're a year or two behind reality hitting. Not Biden's fault. Not Trump's fault. |

“The year began with a recession forecast but ended with substantial wage growth & record union contracts for hundreds of thousands of workers.
2023 was “genuinely a banner year for the working class & low-paid workers.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/12/30/2023-strikes-workers-american-wages-labor/ |
Sorry, you're certifiably crazy. Deficits have never ballooned like now under Joe. And why? Aren't we supposed to have a great economy, with full employment? |
Biden did that. |
Clearly you didn't pay attention to the Trump Administration, which blew the debt by 25%. Biden has managed to get it reigned in as a percentage of GDP https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN |
"Joe" spent the money because we hadn't had an infrastructure bill to upgrade to the 21st century in more than a decade - something Trump couldn't do at all. The money was also spent to prevent a Great Depression style collapse after what Trump left. So far, it has all been succcessful as the money has been pumped back into our economy with more jobs, higher wages and upgraded infrastructure, more foundation for a green economy and yes, the "disasterous" CHIPS act which brings high tech manufacturing back to the US. What did we get for the $7.8 Trillion dollars in debt the Trump Administration and GOP brought us? Higher concentrated wealth to the .5% and that is it. Please explain why that is a win and if the growth in debt between 2017 and 2021 was worth it to the American people. |
+2. The numbers are out there to verify and Trump BALLOONED the deficit. If you're gonna lie, at least do it with stuff that can't be easily verified and thrown in your face. You're wrong. You're a liar. |
Not sure about that, but for sure everything Biden touches either becomes much more expensive or goes burst in a total war. The guy is a genius. |
What war is the US in? And yo are blaming a president for the cost of things? Ok, how much is gas? I just paid $2.90. Thanks Joe! |
Some folks are hilarious I guess. The US has already spent over a hundred billion dollars supporting two wars. Even you can name them -- just do it! In terms of inflation, gas has indeed come down -- what about everything else? Last time I checked the dollar has lost 20% purchasing power in just two years, a true record!! |
