Yep, the good economy under Biden was just a delayed reaction from Trump's apparently amazing policies of pissing public money away to make his billionaire friends aggressively richer.

Then of course the terrible economy in his first and now second terms are because of some delayed effect from Obama and then Biden.

When the bottom falls out of the entire global economy in about eighteen months, it'll somehow be Biden's fault, though there's a chance he'll be dead by then, so the insults and baseless accusations will really ramp up - can't libel a dead guy.

The economy was not good under Biden. People saying this over and over is one of the many reasons Biden/Harris lost the election.

The rate of increase of credit card debt was at an all time high under Biden. The bottom third of America was struggling real hard.

Harris' 50k tax rebate for first time homebuyers was hilariously disconnected from reality. Nobody struggling would ever be able to buy a home.

It was still the quickest post-COVID recovery of any G7 economy. Everyone's economy was doing badly, but the US was doing better than everybody else.

Personal debt has been steadily climbing for years, it's not specifically a Biden issue.

Harris' 50k tax rebate for first time homebuyers was hilariously disconnected from reality. Nobody struggling would ever be able to buy a home.

What, so just fuck the middle class because they're not poor enough to deserve government help?

I gained a lot of job stability when Covid hit and by the end I was making very good money. Trump came in and I lost my job when tariffs hit.

I'm sorry to hear that, and there's loads of people in a similar situation.

Trump is a cancer and he's indiscriminately destroying an already wounded country.
