Have you been living under a rock? Of course the economy is better than it was during the pandemic, and unemployment is down, inflation is down. If you believe this is not true, then start posting your evidence. You seem to rely on your opinion instead of posting facts.Whoever said your quote is completely and totally incorrect.
Oh well, apparently the liberals believe that we have a great economy in the USA. So what do y'all say to over 55% of Americans in most of the polling this year who disapprove of Biden’s and the Democratic Party handling of economic issues?
You’re welcome to provide the data that supports that assertion.Whoever said your quote is completely and totally incorrect.
Still waiting for the specifics backing up this vague hand-waving. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.Biden’s policies include increasing the amount of regulations and taxes upon business thus raising the costs of doing business. Biden’s policies include spending trillions upon trillions of dollars that we don't have thus devaluing the dollar which means higher inflation.
Why is it that virtually every time a conservative on this board is asked to name an economic policy they don't like and explain its effects, they don't (or can't)? This exchange between you and @RocksInMyHead, I've had the same conversation with numerous other members over the years and it pretty consistently shakes out the same way. Assertions are abundant, while specifics and sources are rare.
Anyone in this thread? Because if it can't be identified that this post is talking about anyone real, it reads a lot more like an attempt to avoid talking about all of the actual data in previous posts showing the post starting this thread was factually incorrect.Oh well, apparently the liberals believe that we have a great economy in the USA.
I think it’s way better than the right wing doomers are claiming but I’d characterize it as a bit of a mixed bag that’s highlighting the weaknesses in our metrics for measuring the economy. Inflation is almost back down to normal levels, but pointing that out is like telling the guy in the ambulance to cheer up because he’s not being shot at anymore. Yes, that is true and an objective improvement, but it also overlooks the pain that’s already been caused and that will take a while to heal. Aggregate numbers like gdp and unemployment generally tend to ignore localized problem areas.Anyone in this thread?

Yeah, but I'm not really addressing if a huge complex beast like the largest economy on the planet can be accurately summed up into a single word. And not to mention doing so would have to look at how corporate profits have seemed to soar during the time, which certainly calls into question that it's any sort of oppressive government regulation at work here.I think it’s way better than the right wing doomers are claiming but I’d characterize it as a bit of a mixed bag that’s highlighting the weaknesses in our metrics for measuring the economy.

I see you replied, though not to me since I'm not a liberal, but you didn't answer my questions. Could you do so?Oh well, apparently the liberals believe that we have a great economy in the USA. So what do y'all say to over 55% of Americans in most of the polling this year who disapprove of Biden’s and the Democratic Party handling of economic issues?
Define excellent shape. The understanding is the economy is in much better shape than three years ago. Nobody said the economy is in EXCELLENT shape.I've got a bridge to moon I'm willing to try to sell to anyone who believes that the American economy is in excellent shape.
Did you take any of that free money?I blame ALL the politicians who were in favor of giving away free money during the pandemic.
Going to go out on a limb and guess this lates Bidenismear is just plain wrong.Analysis finds Americans need extra $11,400 to afford the basics as GOP lawmakers blame 'Bidenomics'
GOP lawmakers and more blamed "Bidenomics" while reacting to an analysis that found the typical American household would need an "extra $11,434" to afford the basics.www.foxnews.com
Republican lawmakers and more called out President Biden and his administration on Wednesday while reacting to a new report that found Americans need an extra $11,400 just to afford the basics, pointing to the president's economic policies and his "Bidenomics" message.
Several Republican lawmakers posted to social media on Wednesday, blaming Biden's economic policies following a report from CBS News, citing a recent analysis by Republican members of the U.S. Senate Joint Economic Committee, which found that a typical American household would need an "extra $11,434 to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021."
The analysis found that it might be worse on a state-by-state basis. For example, in Colorado, the average American household must spend an extra $15,000 per year to afford the same standard of living they had in 2021.
CBS reported that the numbers reflect the increased cost of basic goods, despite other positive economic measures, such as the jobless rate being at a two-decade low.
Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said "Bidenomics" was a "huge tax" on Americans and added that the "D.C. Swamp is ruining this country for future generations."
Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck sounded the alarm about the numbers from his state, noting that it was "even higher."
Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-KY., in a post on social media on Wednesday, said Americans deserved better, adding, "this is the real Bidenomics in action."
Americans are spending an additional $11,400 and Kentuckians are spending an additional $9,784 every year to keep up with the same standard of living they enjoyed before Joe Biden took office. This is the real Bidenomics in action. You deserve better.
I didn't. Trump eliminated state tax exemptions, so those of us in high tax states didn't get the same benefits.In 2017, everyone got significant tax cuts. As someone in the middle class, my wife and I really appreciated those tax cuts.
He didn't eliminate them, but he did cap them, which put lie to the Republicans' long-aired complaints about double taxation with regards to business dividends and inheritances.I didn't. Trump eliminated state tax exemptions, so those of us in high tax states didn't get the same benefits.
I am sorry that you live in a state that has high state income tax rates.I didn't. Trump eliminated state tax exemptions, so those of us in high tax states didn't get the same benefits.
Where would you prefer for the United States to be ranked in economic freedom?Freedom for the Robber Barons.
Can't help but note we're falling behind countries traditionally labeled as SOCIALIST! in other right wing propaganda. Maybe we just need single payer government health care to catch up to them.Index of Economic Freedom: All Country Scores | The Heritage Foundation

The United States ranks 25th in economic freedom.
I wish that the republicans complaining about Biden would actually put a candidate who could fix the problems. Instead, they keep looking to a guy who raised the national debt by 7.8 trillion dollars IN ONLY FOUR YEARS, and claim he will come back and fix it.Going to go out on a limb and guess this lates Bidenismear is just plain wrong.
This is a different topic than the one for this thread. However, you might trust the government to run the nation's health care system. But, I know for a fact that I will never trust the USA government to run the nation's health care system..... no matter who is in charge of our government.Can't help but note we're falling behind countries traditionally labeled as SOCIALIST! in other right wing propaganda. Maybe we just need single payer government health care to catch up to them.
There is not a politician anywhere who has been able to lower the national debt. No body, that I know of, in government is willing to do what it takes to lower our national debt. If there are some in government actually willing to do whatever it takes to lower our $33 trillion dollar national debt, then please tell me who they are.I wish that the republicans complaining about Biden would actually put a candidate who could fix the problems. Instead, they keep looking to a guy who raised the national debt by 7.8 trillion dollars IN ONLY FOUR YEARS, and claim he will come back and fix it.
