US is worse off now than it was a year ago

[Meister]

Obviously the investor class would disagree with you.
Ask Elon Musk, or Jeff Bezos if they are better off today, or a year ago, and they'll certainly
disagree with your premise.

We ARE Not better off. And please, don't use some BILLIONARES and say, "See, See"
It just goes to show that your shoe size is larger than your IQ.

The GOP gets into office with a good economy and every time they leave it in shambles.

You have it backwards. Demscum are the idiots who screw things up. They are anti American commie whores.

Trump admitted he knew how bad it was going to be and held it back.

Do you think Trump made these decisions alone? He's not a politician. He had to rely heavily on his advisors.

Nobody was talking about COVID, the OP is whether we are better off today, than a year ago. And by many metrics we're better off. No by all metrics, but the majority put us in better shape than a year ago.

No we aren't.

 

[colfax_m]

yeah. And it wasn't better.

US Economy October 2020

Markets churned much of the month and all three indexes finished with their first monthly losses since March. Political and economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment, as did the prospect of a...

But perception is everything, and imo its undeniable that Biden's policies on Afghan and the border were clusterfuckish. But he's not up for reelection for awhile, so it may be early to write the epitaph.

Perception is everything. Just see how the economy under Obama was garbage and then nothing really changed and all of a sudden it was a miracle under Trump.

Silly child, can you say PANDEMIC???? Or, are you just going to ignore that 800 pound
gorilla that was the room?

The OP is whether we are better off or not. Nothing about WHY that is.

I believe Trump did what Trump wanted to do. I truly and honestly think he cared more about the stock market than what the virus did. I cannot prove it, but that is my opinion.

Yeah, without saying COVID you brought up the economy that was influenced by the China virus.
So again you haven't a clue on what you speak of.

 

[colfax_m]

No we aren't.

Stock market is up 25% since a year ago. Wasn’t it supposed to crash if a Democrat got elected?

Trump says stock markets will crash if he loses election

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. stock market will crash if he loses the election this year.

I said investment class. And my 401-K is much better than a year ago.

I think a lot of rich people did. I bet there were a lot of people in Trump's ear trying to get him to hold out and not overreact.

To steal a phrase, he was the decider thus he gets the blame, it is the way it works.

In my opinion, he will be judged by history on his reactions to COVID and the election after he lost, nothing else will be remembered of his time in office.

Are you bitching that the reason we are better off, is that a year ago we were worse off because of COVID.

Then the OP should have asked why we're better off, and not claiming we're NOT better off.

 

[Anomalism]

he was the decider thus he gets the blame

I think that's a ridiculously binary policy, no offense.

Trump is legendary. But not in a good way.

 

[Mac-7]

No of course not considering the Covid was already in the US before he did anything.

Other than fire Dr Fauchi what should trump have done before the first wiflu case in the US?

He tried banning flights from china and dems made political hay

Actually I think Trump ignored his advisors. He certainly didn't listen to the members of his Coronavirus task force.

 

[colfax_m]

LMAO....OK....find that post.

I’m so good at this. It wasn’t easy to find but I did.

You don’t understand. For many businesses are their lives. Only 9k died from COVID, remainder had underlying conditions per the CDC.

I understand, but it is reality. When a sports team sucks, do they blame all the player or the head coach?

Drank the bleach.
