Remember the some what old saying, debating a moron is always a losing proposition...they always take you down to their level and you'll always lose.




Some of our moronic partisan cult followers will shout FAKE NEWS, LIARS and try to change the subject. Squirrel! They will say they foe you and anyone else, if their fragile ego gets bruised.

Interesting: I listened to news and a financial report early this morning and a financial expert basically confirmed my entire hypothesis presented here:

1) One reason, imo, that Biden is NOT given credit for "success" on the US Economy is that most Americans DO NOT FEEL that they are, personally, or as a family, better off now than in 2021. Inflation may be "down" but is still there, gas prices may be down (much due to world petroleum supply and the switch to winter blends of fuel) BUT overall, most Americans ARE NOT better off. Yes, they may have a job, and so does their neighbor, and they may have gotten a slight pay raise, but that pay raise does not offset the impacts on inflation ON EVERYTHING.


I have seen no one HERE in this Forum laud the actual accomplishments of Biden, just that the Economy and Jobs Reports are better (and are likely NOT due to anything [or very little, at best]) done by Biden.
My challenge is still HERE:
I challenge the supporters of Biden to tell us how Biden's policies, his "Bidenomics" has made things better for the USA and for most Americans.

The economy is doing great and thats why it sux for Joe Biden. - Jp4f :lol:


When the Fed started raising rates, it was widely predicted that the U.S. economy would slide into recession. But the economy and the job market remained surprisingly resilient. The unemployment rate has been below 4% for 22 straight months, the longest such streak since the 1960s.

Never forget the source. lol

Stop using facts against our MAGA posters! These facts are used as unfair tactics to silence them.

It's not fair, you can't claim the government spending has gone down both in real dollar terms and as a percent of GDP every single year since Biden took office. That undermines the premise that 'Stoopid Dems' are the party of spend now and worry about it later. Just because spending jumped from 4.9 Trillion in trumps first term to 7.73 trillion in his final year in office, doesn't mean that cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans led to ballooning the national debt. Just because Federal spending dropped to 6.13 trillion in 2023 doesn't mean Bidenomics is working. Pairing it with GDP growth, low unemployment, rising wages doesn't offset the fact if Trump was in office he'd just drop the magnets into the water and voila, that's the end of the magnets.

Instead of worrying and being distracted by colorful language ("Grab 'em by the magnets"), look at the real, underlying issue.
In this case, it's the questionable reliability of the Navy's new, expensive, electro-magnetic aircraft launch system:

"we have an economy thats incredible....." - Donald J. Trump.

Guess jp4f has to catch up a bit..... :lol:

Ever recognised that pattern?
Bush left you with a recession - Clinton cleaned up and left a very good economy.
Then W left the big recession - Obama cleaned up and left a very good economy.
Now Trump (who really rode someones coattails, the numbers are clear) botched it - Biden cleans up and the economy is doing very well.

It looks worse than awful for Biden in Michigan ...

The poll, conducted by the Michigan-based Glengariff Group from Jan. 2 to Jan. 6, has the former president beating Biden by 8 points — 47 to 39 percent — among likely voters in the state.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/0 ... r-00134672


... before anyone dismisses this ...

In a hypothetical head-to-head against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Trump’s lead did not hold up. He trailed the 52-year-old Whitmer by 4 percentage points, 45 to 49 percent. The finding underscores the pitfalls for Democrats of fielding an unpopular 81-year-old as their nominee.

Jusplay4fun, if you read and listen to all these economic and financial reports, it's apparent that you do not understand what you are reading/listening to.

The facts are out there with simple googling. Your partisan brain is not letting you understand the facts.

Now you are calling everyone a troll, at least to the posters who are providing simple economic and financial facts to you. You ask for facts and you do not like the facts provided.

Did you say, "successful Presidency"?


The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.

Typical Pack Rat, who cherry-picks a little data and essentially misleads some who read his posts. That is OBFUSCATION.

Most of the negative economic numbers are due to the COVID shut down, especially as they relate to the budget deficit and the unemployment numbers. Some folks have a very short memory. The occurred at the end of Trump's 4 year term.

Let's give his cited source a closer look; from the same source, cited by Pack Rat:

Some of these figures, notably the net job loss and gross domestic product, were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which struck in Trump’s final year in office, becoming a defining issue of his tenure. Scientists quickly developed very effective vaccines, two of which were authorized for emergency use in the U.S. while Trump was still president in December 2020. But by the day Trump left office, 401,000 people had died from the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, and the economic fallout was far from over.

Some data points appeared to weather the economic impact: After-tax corporate profits and crude oil production rose, and the stock market, after taking an initial hit, continued to set records. Other statistics run counter to claims or promises Trump made: For instance, illegal immigration, the trade deficit and the federal debt — measures he vowed to lower — went up instead, rising even before the 2020 global pandemic began.

As we’ve often said, readers may find these statistics to be good, bad or neutral, and opinions differ on how much credit or blame a president should get for what happens while he is in office. We leave those judgments to others.


This seems to be a poor way to measure illegal immigration (again, same source):

Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.


Apprehension is up and THEREFORE immigration increased?? really? seems to be a poor measuring stick.

I have addressed many of these issues in the past few days in various threads. I see no need to repeat those points again.

Pack Rat, not surprisingly, posts more obfuscation and more FAKE NEWS.

And, Poverty declined (1.3 points) under Trump and median household income is up 6%, numbers ignored by many. And home ownership is UP, also. See Pack Rat's cited source. There is good news and bad news in the data, as usual.

As president, Trump saw 100 months of continuous U.S. monthly job gains end in February 2019 as the economy slowed. In 2020, job growth collapsed entirely when COVID-19 went from being a localized problem in Wuhan, China, to a global pandemic.

(...)
And then the novel coronavirus struck. In two months, March and April 2020, the U.S. economy lost a staggering 22.4 million jobs.

The unemployment rate would continue to drop under Trump — until the pandemic. A month before widespread lockdowns would virtually shut down the economy, the unemployment rate stood at 3.5% in February 2020, the lowest since December 1969. During the pandemic, the unemployment rate peaked at 14.8% in April 2020, the highest since BLS began tracking the figure in 1948.

Labor Force Participation — Republicans frequently blamed then-President Barack Obama for a declining labor force participation rate — which is the percentage of the population age 16 and older that is either employed or looking for work in the previous four weeks. It’s true that the labor force participation rate declined, from 65.7% to 62.8%, during Obama’s two terms — although the downward trend began in 2000 and continued during Obama’s time in office, largely due to demographics, including the retirement of baby boomers.

Under Trump, the rate seemed to stabilize and even ticked upward, reaching a high of 63.4% in January 2020. But, by the time he left office, the rate had dropped to 61.4% — falling another 1.4 percentage points under Trump after going down 2.9 points during the Obama years.

A working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found “the onset of the covid-19 crisis led to a wave of earlier than planned retirements.”

(...)
Economic Growth
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy began slowing down. The real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product went up in Trump’s first two years, peaking at an estimated 2.9% in 2018 — the highest since 2005. But the economy grew only 2.3% in 2019 and the bottom fell out in 2020.


Like his mentors, saxi and others, Pack Rat needs to read beyond the headlines.

Note too that the economy, like most things, will NOT continue to go UP ALL the time.

and on immigration:

The number of apprehensions peaked in mid-2019, and the year ended with the highest number of apprehensions since 2007. In response, Trump issued several policies to reduce immigration flows, including measures to restrict eligibility for asylum and return non-Mexican asylum seekers who cross the Southwest border to Mexico while their claims work their way through immigration courts (the so-called “Remain in Mexico” program). Correspondingly, apprehensions dropped steadily through the second half of 2019 and into 2020.

And then, when the pandemic hit, apprehensions dropped even more dramatically in April and May 2020. As a result of the pandemic, there was an increased restriction on mobility, not just in the U.S. but around the world, Bolter said.

In response to the pandemic, Trump put into place a series of policies aimed at blocking migration to the U.S., including one that allowed border patrol to quickly expel any illegal immigrants they stopped, without access to the appeals system.

and more News on the Economy:

Wages and Inflation
During Trump’s four years in office, wages went up and inflation remained in check.


CPI — The Consumer Price Index rose 7.6% under Trump — continuing a long period of low inflation that appears to be coming to an end under Biden, as supply chain problems and other factors drive up costs.

The CPI rose an average of 1.9% each year of the Trump presidency (measured as the 12-month change ending each January), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That was about the same as the average under Obama (1.8%) and below the average of 2.4% during each of George W. Bush’s years.

Yes jusplay4fun, the pandemic did hurt the economy.

Remember Trump saying that COVID will disappear once the warm weather returns? He did nothing! He did give advice on how to kill the COVID virus.

Trump's biggest accomplishment is creating the most gullible deluded fanbase in history, only comparable to Hitler, Mussolini, and other totalitarian regimes.

In their new rightwing media bubble, they forget how bad it was under this convicted rapist, facing 91 other felony charges, who was a constantly lying conman who never while president even had 50% approval a dismal record.

Meanwhile, Good Guy Joe is going to beat the probably jailed Trump again easily.

I will let the very conservative Max Boot look back on Trump:

The challenge — and the opportunity — for Joe Biden is that he succeeds the worst president in U.S. history.

Donald Trump’s tenure was characterized by colossal incompetence and mind-numbing indifference to the public good. His coronavirus management has resulted in more than 24.1 million cases in the United States and almost 400,000 deaths — projected to exceed 500,000 deaths by May. While overseeing arguably the worst loss of life since the great influenza of 1918, Trump also presided over the worst unemployment since the Great Depression. He is the first president in modern history to see a net loss of jobs during his time in office.

Those bare figures — catastrophic as they are — barely begin to plumb the depths of Trump’s failures, which were moral as much as managerial.

He was the most dishonest president ever: He produced more than 30,000 documented falsehoods.

He was the most corrupt president ever. He used his office to enrich his businesses, interfered in Justice Department investigations, engaged in obstruction of justice, stonewalled Congress, refused to release his tax returns, purged inspectors-general, and pardoned his cronies and co-conspirators.

He was the most openly racist president in modern times — arguably since Woodrow Wilson. He consistently tried to fire up his White base with bigotry against people of color. His actions too often matched his vile words — most notoriously when he ordered the children of undocumented immigrants separated from their parents.

He was the first president who refused to accept election defeat or propagated bizarre conspiracy theories to undermine confidence in the electoral system.

He became the only president ever impeached twice — once for trying to blackmail Ukraine into helping him politically, the second time for inciting a violent insurrection to try to stay in office.

He leaves office with only 34 percent approval in the Gallup poll after having been the first president never to crack 50 percent support since the advent of Gallup polling.

Because of Trump’s calamitous and costly failures, Biden will take office with hardly anyone present to watch his inauguration in a city that now has more U.S. troops than there are in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Biden will lead a nation where 75 percent of Republicans do not think he was fairly elected because they have bought into the Big Lie spread by Trump and the right-wing propaganda machine, who will continue to undermine and abuse him at every turn.

The new president will face monumental challenges that exceed those of any incoming president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. Not only must Biden stop a pandemic and revive an economy, but he must address global warming, income inequality, racial injustice, restore confidence in government, reinvigorate the rule of law, return ethics to government, decrease divisions in U.S. society and depoliticize government agencies.

It’s a daunting, nearly overwhelming to-do list. But, paradoxically, by taking over at such a low point in our history, Biden is set up for success.

His biggest advantage is that highly effective vaccines for COVID-19 already exist — something that would have been hard to imagine when the pandemic started a year ago. The Trump administration deserves some credit for devoting the resources to developing those vaccines, but it characteristically botched their rollout.

If the Biden administration shows even minimal competence — and there is every reason to expect a high degree of competence from this experienced team — it will be able to ramp up distribution rapidly. Indeed, the situation is already improving. Roughly 800,000 Americans are now being vaccinated a day, up from 350,000 a day in early January. Biden has set a goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days. That is not only achievable— given the current trajectory — but we are likely to exceed it.

It is reasonable to expect that, barring mutant strains that defy vaccination, the coronavirus will be vanquished this year. And, as the pandemic disappears, the economy will revive. Those two major victories should set up Biden for a highly successful first year in office — and buy him time to address long-standing challenges that will not be easily fixed.

Simply by not calling his critics traitors, inciting violence, sending demented tweets, spreading cockamamie conspiracy theories, or branding the media the “enemy of the people,” Biden will start to heal a fractured and traumatized country. He will never win over the Trump die-hards, but he is already gaining the support of the broad middle of the country. His approval rating is higher than Trump’s ever was. In a new CNN poll, two-thirds of Americans approve of the way Biden is handling the transition.

Thanks, President Trump. By being so awful, you have all but guaranteed that Biden will be far more successful by comparison.

Boot maintains that opinion of Trump and Biden.

The prospect of another Trump term is the greatest foreseeable disaster that can befall the United States and the world. Trump is likely to be 10 times more dangerous this time around, because he won’t allow any adults in the White House to act as a check on his worst instincts — no more Jim Mattis as defense secretary, John F. Kelly as chief of staff, or H.R. McMaster as national security adviser. In a second term, Trump is likely to only appoint advisers as unhinged as he is.

[Biden] has managed to pass big, bipartisan bills, including infrastructure legislation that Trump only talked about. He has been even more impressive internationally, assembling a large coalition to oppose Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and another coalition in East Asia to deter China from aggression of its own. The economy — the ultimate barometer of a president’s performance — has been doing much better than expected, with low unemployment, declining inflation, and no recession in sight. That’s a record any president can be proud of. Yet the polls haven’t been giving Biden the credit he is due, possibly because perceptions of the economy still lag the reality.

Quotes from the Biden White House and Max Boots are biased and slanted toward Biden. I give little credence to such opinions. Both are worthless posts for those seeking truthful and unbiased information.

BIDEN TOP ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Frankly, there are FEW real accomplishments, unless you consider the Affirmative Actions hires of the likes of Kamala Harris, Karine Jean-Pierre (White House Press Secretary), and Mayor Pete Pete Buttigieg.
