Because youre right. Every damn time. Clinton gets the economy hot, and Bush comes in and causes a near depression. Obama cleans it up, and Trump who was starting to dismantle Obamas work, gets hit with COVID, then Biden comes in dealing with the high prices rising as demand begins again, but gets the country on track faster than any other nation. But because of continuing corporate greed keeping prices high, he pays the price.

But even FOX Business Network were mumbling their surprise at the market rise in the 24 summer.

A month before the election, the Economist had this on the front page.



I dont know why pundits never bring that up, when they get blasted by Trump sycophants on how bad the economy was under Biden.

Trump will drain the treasury before he leaves and add trillions to the debt. And so the future Democratic President will have to be careful with spending, and be blamed if the economy doesnt bounce back soon enough. Something like Medicare for All would cost a lot to get up and running. So it gets put on the back burner again, and they cant run on many major accomplishments. Republicans drain the treasury for that reason. I just wish Democrats would help explain this to voters somehow
