So be it. But electing Trump to fix the economy is like opting to have the Joker operate on you instead of a competent doctor because you’re sick of incumbent doctors and their shit…


I hope you’re all very rich (you’ll benefit from proposed tax cuts) and don’t have anyone you love dependent on Medicaid …

I'd like to point out that 2019 was a very good year for the economy. It worked well the first time, so why not again?


2019 things started slowing down followed by a brief pre-lock down recession in 2020. I don't think things were as good as you remember.


Even if they were, I find it interesting that Trump gets a total pass on COVID, while Biden's held to a standard as if he didn't have to deal with COVID's aftermath.

In some cases, it's actually worse: I've had to listen to some people complain about price increases, citing artificially low prices deep in the heart of the COVID lockdowns as if they were the benchmark for a great days' past economy they wish we could return to.

In brief: It worked very badly the first time and the only reason you were conned into thinking differently was massive debt.


it wasnt particularly different from 2015, but also, the things being done are very different now from in 2019
