[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rents are exploding.  How are people going to live?  They can't afford homes because they juiced the markets with years of low interest rates, and corporations are now buying up all homes for people that your average person cannot compete with.  Rents are going up and up and up.  The middle class is absolutely done. Biden's inflation is obliterating the middle class. [/quote]

Remind me again what interest rates were like under Trump?  Remind me how much debt Trump took on to give out Covid stimulus?

Unbelievable (well very believable actually since you're clearly arguing in bad faith because that's all Republicans do) that you'd try to lay this on Biden when he was only doing what he had to do to clean up Trump's disaster of a Covid response.  [/quote]

Covid response is a very complicated topic.  There were always alternative opinions on how that should have been handled.  2 weeks to flatten the curve were not meant to become 2 years to flatten economy, people's physical and mental health, their savings, and academic progresss of their kids.  It's pretty clear that some states did better, and these were the states that didn't follow the narrative of lockdowns, blaming regular citizens behavior as a sole reason for this pandemic and spread, ridiculous and discriminatory mandates, blatant social engineering of behavior through fear propaganda, masking of toddlers, etc.  FL is thriving, Sweden also didn't go extinct as is the rest of the world.  And countries with the most draconian lockdown zero covid measures all got their spread in due time.  This response was a disaster and cannot be blamed on either of the presidents alone, it was incompetence and corruption of many institutions involved in this, a runaway train of policies driven by fear, indiscriminate cattle-like health policies that took individual doctor-patient relationship out of equation, corruption (many pockets were lined I am sure), social engineering experiments, etc.   [/quote]

You know who has the strongest state economy?

Michigan, led by Dem. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. She locked everything down hard in 2020, and longer than most. Then opened it back up slowly, and promised when vaccines were available, she'd drop most state restrictions. She did. She was right.
