Thanks for confirming my statement. Increased after the major 2008 crisis (not surprising), then decreased from 2013 thanks to Obama's policies. The decrease continued at the  beginning of Trump mandate following the same trend, then increased at the end of Trump's mandate to 11.5 in 2020. Still at 11.5 in 2022. No increase under Biden.

 

Hmm ... increased at the end of Trump's mandate to 11.5 in 2020...wasn't that when there was that virus? Oh yes it was.

The claim was that poverty level increased under Biden. It didn't.

It did slightly and Trump's average was lower.

Right. You mean the economy after Biden took over from covid denier Trump. Very true. Trump tanked the economy.

 

Covid tanked the economy. How many times do we have to hear this inane rubbish?

Not if you take out 2020 due to covid. Trump is 1% higher.

Why is it that Republicans campaign on reducing the deficit and then, once in office, they blow it up?

 

Remember how Trump promised to eliminate the national debt and then generated huge deficits?

Hardly false effective.  In the first post uttradit claimed he wasn't interested in "useless information" and in the second he said he doesn't worry about WW3.  Maybe you don't see the willful ignorance commonality, but I'm sure others did.

LOL. IMO the damage was done by the opposition attempting to get rid of him by using a fake dossier and a federal system weaponised against him.

He had so much BS to deal with that it's a wonder he got as much done as he did.

Tell us about that dossier.

 

Do you have a link that confirms that the dossier was intended as more than a compendium of rumors about Trump?

 

Do you really believe that the dossier was intended to be factual?

If you're going to pick cherries, try for some sweet ones.

 

Perhaps you've forgotten, but do you remember 2007-2008? We had a name for it. It was called the World Financial Crisis. It was the time of Synthetic CDO Squareds with CDS kickers. Obama inherited from Bush the worst Recession since the 1930s and unemployment of about 10%. Despite that Republican carnage, Obama handed off 4.8% unemployment and a growing economy to trump.  Coattails trump took credit for what Obama had set in motion.

 

Then the R House, R Senate and R WH enacted the massive $2 trillion tax cut, which barely achieved 3% growth in 2018 and then it fell back to 2.2% in 2019, although it did devastate the budget, a major part of the $8,400,000,000,000 added to the National Debt under trump, the subsequent cause of inflation.

 

Put another way, even the meager growth in GDP was dwarfed by the absolute increase in debt, kind of like the neighbor who looks flush with his new F-150, backyard grill and bassboat, but not so flush when the mailman shows up with the bill. Mr "Nobody Knows More About Debt and Bankruptcy than Me" left a massive negative inheritance for children not yet born.

 

2020 was a disaster, as trump messed up Covid so badly, denying its existence until March-April, and telling everyone "It's 15 people now, and soon down to 1....and poof, it's gone". He said that despite having been briefed as early as December 2019 that it was going to be bad. I wonder how many died because of his abject failure to do anything until the epidemic was going full throttle?

 

trump, after inheriting low UE and growth from Obama, then passed on 6.8% UE and a Recession to Biden. The Recession quickly ended, and now Biden's GDP changes are dwarfing even trump's best years. Go Joe!

 

Here's a chart from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which you can find here:

Need not be too complicated. Vote Trump get dictator, fascism and lawlessness. Vote Biden get democracy and rule of law. It is that clear and simple. 

Where do get dictator, facsim and lawlessness from? Presently under the current administration, you have a significant increase's across; crime, hate-speech, degradation of cities through soft on crime policies & excessive migrant issues, and of course high inflation. For anyone paying attention (not just on MSM), it's hard not to notice there is a problem with Biden's mental abilities. You should be concerned, not pushing him forward, because it's not that simple.
