Biden is not as polarizing aka he is a boring old man but in terms of running the economy he is not in the same stratosphere as Trump. Ask me again why I voted for Trump and then call me racist....

If Trump had the media at an even keel, those numbers would have even been better.

The LAST the I want is the government "running the economy".

Of course, I don't want the government to run the economy either.
But, the government can present policies that will help the economy, or
stifle the economy.

What role do you believe government should play in american economics?

Securing property rights. That's about it.

Sounds neat Little Joe Cartwright….do you honestly believe such will ever happen?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Securing property rights. That's about it.

I disagree. They need to provide police protection as well as making sure the roads are paved and such to ensure that supplies may travel safely and expediently. They should also not impose annoying regulations.

Securing property rights. That's about it.

Property rights are the exact opposite of what govt. does in regard to so-called private property, who takes away that private property if taxes are not paid? Who negates the use of certain private property if taxes are not paid?
The government on both counts.

Protect our boarders?

Mkay. The question was about what role the government should play in economics.

The "social contract" is a one-way street. You pay your taxes or go to jail. In return, the government may or may not provide some of those services you

More communism than socialism

More communism than socialism

Uh-huh. Same difference. And no, I won't quibble with you on definitions. Bores the shit out of me.

 

[Moonglow]

Our economic system has govt. investment into a private business operation they deserve the heat for inflation more so than the feds.

That is what I answered. Do you mean in terms of monetary policy and trade deals?

Ok. In reality, it means very little. If you go back to the ten months prior, you'll see Trumps numbers dip as well. Not as bad as Biden's but this was the initial wave of the virus and people weren't burned out on it yet. Then comes Delta (after Trump is gone..conveniently). If you're not going to be genuine enough to admit that the seeds of these economic issues were planted in the last administration, then it's just partisan hackery. You blame the new guy. Which, right or wrong, is what's happening. Like I've said, come talk to me in another 6 months and we'll see where we are.
