Billionaires profit SO much from a tanked economy. Everybody else is fucked, but all the toys they want to buy go on sale. Namely competitors.
Sure is a weird coincidence how we've had recessions after the last 3 or 4 Republican presidents /s
And Biden gets blamed for Trump’s economy while Trump is celebrated for Obama’s economy. Fuck is wrong with people.
I mean, that's the natural result of Biden's reluctance to blame Republicans for anything and all his efforts to work with them and praise them whenever they do anything remotely positive, and now Harris can't stop bragging about all the endorsements she got from Republicans who helped set these cycles up in the past. It's totally predictable that a lot of people are confused and just think "politicians" are to blame when we have Dems like this.
Yeah, this is true. Biden crossed aisles. Obama used a super majority to fix healthcare in a bipartisan manner. And this resulted in Democrats getting smacked by republicans for over a decade. Even though it was a bipartisan effort!
They're all too busy believing the loudest person in a suit that they can find.
Surely being loud in a suit means what you say is important, right? The louder the more important... and look at how long that tie is. Surely that's the bestest person to listen to.
I used to have a boss who likes to credit Obama's economy to Bush, saying that presidential economic policies take 4-8 years to be felt.
Didn't have much to say about why Bush I's economy sucked though, for some reason.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!
This right here is the answer. Everyone can go home now.
Seriously, it’s not the low taxes, though those are appreciated, it’s the prospect of more market share which equals more wealth and, most importantly, power. During the housing crisis we had banks that were deemed “too big to fail.” For the next one, a handful of super-wealthy assholes will receive the same designation.
