Popular Post Mazungu Posted October 31 Popular Post Posted October 31 That's a pretty incredible headline coming from the Wall Street Journal; a right-wing Rupert Murdoch owned newspaper. The Biden/Harris economy is rocking-and-rolling. "Whoever wins the White House next week will take office with no shortage of challenges, but at least one huge asset: an economy that is putting its peers to shame...it is outrunning every other major developed economy." https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-next-president-inherits-a-remarkable-economy-7be2d059 1 2 1 2 1
Popular Post HonestQuietTom Posted October 31 Popular Post Posted October 31 No different to 2016 when Trump inherited Obama's economy. No different to 2000 when Bush inherited Clinton's economy The exact opposite of 2008 when Obama inherited a mess from Bush The exact opposite of 2020 when Biden inherited a mess from Trump Somehow Trump leads every poll in who is better for the economy...., go figure? 1 1 1 3 2

Meanwhile, Rupert's Fox News operates on a different business model: stir up emotions, play to biases, and keep viewers glued, even if that means bending, ignoring facts altogether, or just plain lying. 1 1 2 2

Well these numbers are exceptional and pretty grim. There is certainly not 2 straight years of "up". I didn't blame anyone though.

How else would he pay for his private jet or golf resort if he didnt have a side gig at McUgly? He and his kids would be working at McDonald's if Donald didn't start out with his Daddy's money. Trump would be richer if he had just put Daddy's money in an Equity REIT instead of wasting money on developing properties. He underperformed the real estate index by almost 50%. Of course you would expect that from a guy who's bankrupted 6 companies. But you Trumpsters are still snowed by the conman.
