The Left Lie About The Economy

[WTH_Progs?]

Leftists can't stomach the FACT things cost TWICE what they did when Trump was POTUS. We can pretend wages have increased accordingly, but that's total BS.

Great employment numbers, shit, retirees have had to hustle or return to the labor market. Lots of job openings, the boatload are $15 an hour jobs, yeah sure, that makes up for cost of living that's doubled.

The rich are taxed at the same rate as you are, a flat tax that is a huge giveaway to the rich and unfair and a screw job for the middle and lower class. ignoramus

How would it be a giveaway if the rich were paying the same rate as the middle and lower classes? That doesn’t make any sense at all.

The ultra-rich do get breaks for sure. They have teams of accountants. Many also live off of capital gains, which has a lower rate. The “rich” according to Democrats do not have this luxury. They don’t have teams of accountants. Thanks to Trump, they(and others in high tax states) pay more now because they can only right off up to 10k in property taxes. Democrats hated that. Weird huh?

I remember when Biden was campaigning in 2020 and he looked Americans in the eye and promised he would always be honest and never lie. And yet he and his team are out there constantly bragging about how great the economy is. The really astounding part is how much gall they have in telling Americans everything is just fine and what a great job they have done regarding the economy while Americans still have to go out there and buy groceries and gas. And yet they keep on lying in the faces of people who know the truth because they live it every day.

Americans are feeling worse about the economy as gas, grocery prices rise

Consumer confidence hit its lowest level since May as rising gas and grocery prices weighed on American wallets.

and repubs will fix this ? how? by firing the school teachers and making our children wear government approved sexually appropriate clothing?

we have nothing to talk about economically. the "conservative" model (the bipartisan "washington consensus" has been demonstrated NOT to reflect reality or to improve the lives of americans,

What was last QTR GDP?

What is the current unemployment rate?

People can't afford to live and you ignore them.

Both ends of the spectrum spin the economy in their favor, one way or the other.

One of the many reasons neither end can be believed.

Yawn.

It was TRUMP who set the date of getting out of Afghanistan. Trump negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan, NOT BIDEN.

Timeline of U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan - FactCheck.org

We lay out many of the key diplomatic decisions, military actions, presidential pronouncements and expert assessments of the withdrawal agreement that ended the U.S. military's 20-year war in Afghanistan.

But Biden changed the date, giving the Taliban 5 more months to take over the country.

Prices jumped up on 2021 and 2022.

That sucks but there were many reasons for it

Currently prices are going up slightly for gas and groceries but to expect them to decline significantly is not reasonable.

It’s annoying and somewhat concerning but the hyperbole over it is simply partisan politics

People are still buying cars, still buying houses. Jobs are plentiful and wages are up. Businesses are not closing.

I am just showing my concern for you as you seem to be suffering so much.

Actually, you're just expertly demonstrating what a complete piece of shit you are, once again.

 

[OldFlame]

That doesn’t make sense. If someone is putting things on their credit card, they aren’t very worried about their economic future.

Fucking clueless.

Fucking clueless.

When people are worried about the future of the economy, do they spend more money or less money on themselves?

You're clueless, completely clueless.

do they stil have to buy food? Fill the gas tank so they can get to work?

 

[Marener]

You're clueless, completely clueless.

They spend less!

There's a disconnect between people's sentiment and what they're actually doing.

I put more value in how they spend money and less value in what they say. Unless their opinion actually starts changing their behavior, it's not yet relevant to the actual economy. People's opinion can be influenced by news coverage, popular sentiment, politics and memes.

But sentiment doesn't sit anywhere on the balance sheet.

They do!

But people worried about the economy find ways to tighten their belt. They don't spend more.
