The media is finally waking up!

Only 10 posts before someone trots out the Trump card when it comes to something negative about Biden. It seems to never fail.

Every time right on Q ........ almost like a mob attack to smear the facts and then Trump gets thrown in

And what was my question in response to? This:

I cannot wait until Biden is out of office- God bless him.

The implication here being that somebody else in office would've done better and prevented this from happening. The obvious alternative, given the 2020 election, was Trump, whom I incorrectly assumed @RileyG supported, which led to this exchange:

I never supported Trump. I never voted for him.
Take care

Ok, then, pick a different Republican. Any Republican. What would they have done differently and how would it have changed these results?

I'm quite clearly not making this about Trump. I'm asking what somebody other-than-Biden would have done and how that would've changed things. I didn't expect I'd have to explain that, when 30 seconds spent reading the entire thread would've made that obvious.

From the link:

Almost all the “errors” in federal economic reports have been biased in Biden’s favor.​

​

How much of recent economic growth has been a statistical mirage or a political fraud?​

​

Federal spending increased 16% in fiscal year 2023 — at the same time tax revenue plunged by 7%. Soaring budget deficits should be a surprise only to people who failed arithmetic in fifth grade. ​

If there were so many supposed "errors," why didn't your NYP piece enumerate even one? Revisions of economics numbers happen all the time and aren't errors. An unanticipated increase in spending or decline in revenue isn't an error, nor is it a surprise to anybody that those two inputs would result in greater deficits. What surprised people was that they happened in the first place.

a sock filled with rocks would have done better than Biden.

ok, great. Now we're getting somewhere. What would a sock filled with rocks have done differently and how would that have effected a different outcome?

Well, first of all - a sock full of rocks would not have ended the US independence when it comes to oil - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

A sock full of rocks would have not opened the boarders - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

A sock full of rocks would not have ended the pipeline development - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

A sock full of rocks would not have issued all those Executive commands opening a whole world of issues - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

A sock full of rocks would not have passed trillion dollar spending bill after trillion dollar spending bill after trillion dollar spending bill - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

There more, but I don't want to get abusive - thank you for asking my opinion. - yes, I know you do not agree - I'm not rehashing it - I am expressing why I think a sock full of rocks would be better for us then Biden.

Only one of those (the one I bolded) has anything anything to do with the deficit, which was the subject of your OP.

It is a border, not a boarder. I am sure President 'sock full of rocks' even knows this.

I don't think we're allowed to talk about "Q" (unless it is John DeLancie, but this is the wrong one for that mon capitan).

The media I follow (which is all of them except for radical right-wing media) is too busy following the corruption of all the indicted republicans fighting to stay out of prison. Everybody expects politicians today to take credit which they do not deserve. I can provide dozens and dozens of examples, but they would be rejected for 'off topic' because this thread is about one specific action by one politician and it is made out to be the greatest and vicious lie ever told!

disagree - but thanks for asking. All have contributed in one way or another - I have expressed my opinion - take it or leave it - I'll not argue it.

I still believe we would be better off with a sock full of rocks.

I doubt at times he even knows where it is - let alone how to spell it - but I always look forward to my interactions with the grammar police. I am always better for it - many thanks

FYI the sock full of rocks would not have resulted in the open border resulting in millions of boarders at taxpayers expense - just ask the mayor of New York City

You should follow different media - IMHO - or even better read from multiple sources both in the US and abroad.

Thank goodness the propaganda media on the left is waking up to what is really going on.

Great question! I really don't know how to respond.

For the purposes of this thread, should we read the WaPo piece that talks about the phenomenon of the deficit spike or should we read the NYP piece that talks about the WaPo piece, while laying on a bunch of invective and hyperbole?

“News” that uses other news outlets’ products seems a lot like plagiarism, no?

When they just rip off the original content, yes.

This one didn't even do that - if it had, maybe we'd have learned something.

Feel free to do what you choose to do.

You want to return to the days of the Trump recession?
