If you track the deficit, the health of the economy, and who has been in the White House since 1992 you'll find that Democratic Presidents run the deficit up when the economy is bad and down when the economy is good. Republican Presidents run the deficit up with the economy is good or bad. Trump definitely followed that pattern. And right now money is cheap and there are things like infrastructure that Trump utterly neglected. And of course, taxes will be raised on the rich should Biden win.

Are you really saying that there wasn't a large number? at least 5 million according to my artithmetic. I wouldn't 1 to vote for a racist - do you think they maybe know something you don't? And according to your way of thinking the vast majority of black people don't either. Just possibly it's the minority of black americans who got it wrong. You start out by claiming "lots." Lots turns out to be a small percentage. And now you're claiming that even though they are a small percentage, somehow they got it right. Not much evidence of rigorous thinking on your part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same answer as to why there a millions of QAnon followers who believe people targeted by Trump would commit suicide en masse on Feb. 10, 2018 or that CIA installed North Korea leader as a puppet leader.

When he had the senate for the first two years I think he was focused on the economic recovery. He did that well. Then he lost the senate and was thwarted by Mitch McConnell and friends. So he did underperform a bit. Still did Obamacare which was a big deal. It's a pity sometimes the president doesn't just have free rein to have their policies for four years and if they muck it up chuck 'em out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost unanimous for example, a Biden victory will be highly positive for precious metals. Precious metals being positive is essentially a sign of America's downfall. Having said that, according to experts, a Trump reelection is positive for precious metals as well, just not nearly as much. What this all tells you is both of them are basically the same, yet one will be far worse for the country than the other. People can't see this because their eyes are so fogged by emotion and hatred, but hey that is what the expert analysis says at this point: Trump bad; Biden worse. Why so much doom and gloom? Many people are saying that if Trump gets back in this could be the 1st time the yanks don't lose the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 21 hours ago, sucit said: You are right of course, but the problem is Biden will arguably be much worse. To me, this race is like trying to pick a marathon runner to run a race for you, and having to choose between a guy with no legs and a guy in a wheelchair. I have no idea why so many are excited about choosing one or the other. Either choice should frighten the hell out of everyone. What is more frightening is to think the voters actually chose these two supposedly qualified candidates. It is all about the issues for me. Biden represents concern for the environment. His administration will immediately stop drilling, fracking and raping national lands. All old growth lumber clearing on many of those lands will cease. That is a very big deal for me. Also, oil exploration in the Arctic, an area infinitely more difficult to protect in the event of the eventual massive spill, that will certainly happen, will cease. The recent spills have proven how unregulated and unprepared many aspects of this industry are, with regard to quality control of rigs, and spills, and the consequences of such cavalier and arrogant behavior toward the environment. That alone, is reason to vote for Joe. When you add in his dignity, his character, his ability to negotiate (something Trump is incapable of) and the fact that he will demonstrate respect for our allies, it is win, win. Joe Biden by 11 million votes. Get out Don! See ya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope the U.S. can start to heal and sorry you missed your opportunity to gloat.
