SectionC3 Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 2 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: I always find it comical when any Administration takes the credit for the US Economy. If you're going to take that position you need to look at the specific policies or programs that lead to the increase or fall. With that in mind, I'm not sure what policies the Biden Administration is taking credit for here. They didn't change the tax code. They handcuffed American energy. They increased regulations on businesses across the board. They pumped artificial dollars into the economy. Which of those policies helped the economy? To my way of thinking, their policies only served to slow it down. Meaning we would have all been in much better shape had they simply done NOTHING. My two cents. There's truth to some of this. Maybe Clinton got lucky with the dot com boom. Maybe Bush I caught a bad hand in relation to the bills from Reagan's spending coming due. Maybe Bush II and Obama were victims of timing. And maybe, just maybe, the S&P went up under Trump because he spent like a drunken sailor and still cut the corporate tax rate. But here's what Biden has done. He shepherded the inflation reduction act into law. And, perhaps most importantly, he's governed like an adult and restored a sense of stability and leadership. That alone is an enormous improvement over his predecessor. 1 hour ago, B-Man said: If you are an adult living in the US today and you can’t admit that the Left is promoting, pushing, boosting, advocating extremist ideology . . . . . then you are a liar. Which extremist ideology are you talking about? If it's that Hitler quote thing, I believe you're referring to your pals in Moms for Liberty.

Biden is Mentally Fit Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 3 hours ago, Tiberius said: Biden is just killing it! What a great President. Sure beats that bum he replaced https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/biden-bummer-confidence-in-america-dragged-to-lowest-point “After President Joe Biden took office, confidence in government slipped to 40% in 2021 and again to 31% in 2022. This is on par with the lowest rates of confidence measured in the U.S. government since Gallup started tracking it globally in 2006,” the pollster said. What’s more, foreign confidence in Biden’s leadership is low. “Declining domestic confidence in the U.S. government has occurred alongside declining approval ratings on the world stage. Median global approval of U.S. leadership slipped to 41% in 2022, down from 45% in 2021 during Biden’s first year in office,” Gallup said. For perspective, Venezuelans have the same confidence in their government as Americans do in the Biden administration, Gallup said. Not exactly sure what “it” is but he’s definitely killing something. Go Joe, go! away 2

The provisions of the so called inflation reduction act don’t kick in for years. They have nothing to do with the current economy and even when they do, they are not focused on making much of anything better for the US taxpayer. As to your second point, the ‘adult’ nonsense you long for has also not happened , that is unless you foolishly believe American business likes a president who looks like he could die any morning. So, nice try. 2

So, nice try. American business likes sanity a lot more than the prior occupant of the oval, that’s for sure. If you consider, for example, January 6 adult behavior and leadership, then you and I simply have different expectations for the occupants of said office. 2 hours ago, B-Man said: Please try and keep up with the thread before you post comments like this The Hitler quote has been explained several times, you look foolish when you still reference it.

And, if one has to explain reliance on Hitler, that’s a problem. Unless you’re MAGA. In which case, it’s completely “rational” and not even on the list of dumb things done by your movement on a given day. Edited July 4, 2023 by SectionC3 1

GOP presidents taking over from Dems are at a disadvantage since the economy is already doing well so there isn’t much room for growth. Meanwhile, Dem presidents taking over from GOP presidents have an advantage because the economy is in tatters and it’s easy to run up the score on jobs. Oh wait… 1 1

Tommy Callahan Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 Continue to champion this economy as a positive when the only group doing will is the top quintile. This will work great come election time.
