A right wing buddy of mine posted a picture of Joe Biden standing in front of a banner that read “BIDENOMICS.” There was a smart ass quote about it, Biden’s economy, not being all that great, and to prove the point there was a list of prices of groceries comparing the price now to about the time Biden took office.
Okay. Un-shockingly, prices have gone up. One of the reasons for that is that under Biden he injected a lot of cash into the economy because of the stagnation due to Covid. By Biden doing this he avoided our country going into a recession. Many other countries did not fare so well, and they did not take the economic steps that Biden and the Dems took. Most of which were vehmently opposed by Republicans.
When Biden came into office the economy was in a bad state due to Covid. Trump had done nothing to help. When no one is buying, such as during Covid, prices stay the same or even go down. So to compare the price of orange juice then to now will show a huge difference. But is that the decision criteria to elect a President? The price of orange juice? Or eggs, or bread, whatever?
The snarky implication of my friend’s post is that Biden and Harris are to blame for inflation. Okay. And lemme ask this, “Who you got that would do a better job?”
Trump? Please. The guy says he’ll fix things (oftentimes on Day 1). But he never tells you how. When he was in office he’d hold press conferences and promise something. We’d never see it materialize.
The Wall? – Never built. Okay, a few parts for photo op purposes.
Health Care – Nothing,
Infrastructure – Multiple promises then nothing.
The Debt – Rather than eliminating it as promised, he greatly increased it.
If he’s asked about something and he’s got nothing the standard line is, “We’re looking at it. I think you’ll be very surprised (pleased?) by what you’ll find.”
That’s the end of it.
Harris has not only been part of the Biden administration and overseen much of the machinations to get the economy going. She also has repeatedly told people her plans for the future.
Trump? Plans? Nothing. Well, he’s got concepts. What are those concepts? Who knows. Well, let’s be honest, he’s got no concepts.
The only plans they have are listed on The Republican Platform, which is a rewording of parts of Project 2025. There is nothing in Project 2025 that is aimed at helping people.
Interestingly, Donald says he knows nothing about Project 2025 and he says he hasn’t read it. I do believe he hasn’t read it. It’s over 900 pages. He doesn’t read. If a presentation is one slide with six bullets on it he can’t make it to the end of the slide. So. No, he hasn’t read it. Doesn’t know anything about it? Hum. Interesting. The plan was written for him. The head of the project has been photographed sitting on a plane next to Trump with a caption saying he had come to tell Donald more about the plan. Then there’s the fact that something like 100 folks in Trump’s circle contributed to it. Including JD Vance who wrote the intro and Rick Scott who wrote the preamble.
I think if Trump folks are honest with themselves they can say that Trump doesn’t seem to be able to do much to help people or the economy. He’s ineffective.
Oh and he’s a liar, rapist, twice indicted, convicted felon, filed for bankruptcy six times, lost money running a casino, and attemted a coup. Other than that? He incited a riot in an attempt to overthrow the government.
But so what?
They’re eating the dogs. No, the dogs will be eating you.
Lara Loomer. She’s kind of cute. I guess that’s why he wraps his arm around her and squeezes her into him. You never see him do that with Melania. Just sayin’
Laura Loomer cute? She had plastic surgery to look like all Trump women. Large lips for sucking and high cheek bones for god knows why. I am so sick of people saying the economy was much better under Trump. It was better because the Democrat before him saved it once again from the Republicans ravages. People forget so soon as does the media. Why aren’t they asking where is Melania?
