    Bidenomics has been a disaster. Things are not as rosy as they claim.

      When one of you are willing to offer up an alternative solution that even remotely resembles an inclination that you’re paying attention to the problem at hand- we’ll start taking you seriously.

      Until then, you’ll remain the joke that you are to everyone with a functioning brain.

          That accelerated with Regan and has been the status quo for every president since. Biden proposed a wealth tax and it got stone walled by a Republican congress. You could argue it’s all for show but laying it at his feet is a little “mask off” with your intent.

          Still likely a troll account just don’t want you convincing the less critically inclined of insanity.

          Edit: replied to the wrong person, this was meant to be a reply to the parent comment saying that “bidenomics” was the problem oops.

              Sorry I should have been specific. I wasn’t speaking about trickle down economics, I was speaking about the economic policies in general that tax the poor while leaving the rich mostly unaffected and while purposely building in loopholes.

              This may not have been strengthened as much during times when Dems were in power but in the past it certainly hasn’t been weakened, My argument is that Joe Biden has actually made moves to try.

        This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.

        Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.

        If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.

        This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.

                Ah yes, because both are TOTALLY not owned by corporate interests, and both will shoot you in the head when they have the opportunity. Neither party cares about you and only wingcucks think that either party will deliver upon the promises they want and not enrich their corporate donors.

            I have heard a thousand variations of this same comment. This is not a very insightful thing for you to say. Unless you can add some specifics, I’m tempted to interpret this as you just regurgitating what you see on the internet.

            It’s so weird you reference yourself here, when this is obviously not your own thought.

          Sure the worse case scenario would have been a fucking disaster, but the truth is America is still on the path to ruin. Things are still getting worse, just at a slower rate.

          Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump’s first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.

      Just wait until you learn who cranked the interest rates down to nothing and handed a bunch of free money to the rich at a time when supply chains were almost completely shut down during the pandemic…

        I feel like that doesn’t get discussed enough. The supplements provided under trump hindered way more than they helped. Might I remind you that those were promised and then delayed because Trump wanted his fucking name printed on the checks. Outside of that, the paycheck protection program was a disaster! So many companies took advantage of that while shitting all over the employees that that was supposed to help. All the while, mom and pop shops and other local places got shafted because the mega corporations tapped the fund. Then it all got forgiven?? You’ve got what is essentially neutered unemployment benefits performed solely to act as a clout grab, and you’ve got hyper inflation into the absolute wrong end of the scale of where it should go. More people focus on the former instead of the latter like the latter never happened.

          Everyone knows it was all bullshit but try to remember nearly every day of all four years of Trump’s presidency, and months prior campaigning, were filled to the brim with bullshit. Many people, myself included, just gave up on politics for a while after he lost to Biden just to try and stay mildly sane.

        Donald Trump shut down the entire American economy by force, while printing trillions of new dollars into existence. Trump ruined the American economy, and likely started WW3 in the process.

        Wait until you hear that Biden kept the guy that cranked down those interest rates, the same one that now has interest rates for homes in the upper 8%. Then kept those tax cuts for the rich, while pretending the inflation was due to supply chain issues and not capitalist greed.

          Free fall, meaning? Inflation is going down. Interest rates are a mechanism to control inflation, and historically are not all that high. Housing is a problem, but nobody is going to do much about it because something something free market. Not everything is great, but not dismal either. I don’t really see how this is Biden’s fault, but I am sure people will still blame.
