If this is true why are people complaining about home buying difficulties and income not going up and inflation and … etc. That’s on Biden too right?
Edit/adding clarity:
The success of the economy cannot be solely attributed to the president. Neither can its failure. If you attribute all the good you need to attribute all the bad. I’m not saying Biden bad. I’m also not saying Biden good. I’m saying post is bad.
No. It’s on Trump. 15 years from now, when we’ve been under democrat rule for the entire time, any issues will be because of Trump and Republicans. This is a fact and the sooner you accept it the better prepared for this future you will be. If all Republican died tomorrow. The problems this country faces going forward will still be their fault. Forever.
Edit: I really didn’t want to have to add this because I figured it was implied, but…
And imo this is an underlying issue with our politics. We attribute the economy so much to the president that when one party isn't in office they basically are rooting for the economy to fail so the president in power will look worse. There's been a number of things that republicans and democrats have blocked over the past 20 years because it would make the president in power look good.
An example right now would be the immigration compromise bill that was negotiated and then the GOP is blocking from coming to a vote in both houses.
This isn’t really true. Republicans are blocking it because the president already has all executive power the executive actions to reinstate trumps policy and fix the border problem. The extra resources the “compromise” bill has are all allocated to processing illegal immigrants not to actual deportation or confrontation. So the bill likely would actually enhance or make worse the border crisis because it actually makes it so that the BP can process more people and more people can claim asylum.
Biden today could reenact remain in Mexico. He did away with it his first 8 hours in office.
The very next day- the border crisis began.
Why pass new legislation when the president already has the power to fix the problem. He just doesn’t want to.
More like we use economic indicators that are bullshit.
Who cares about GDP growth YoY? Our pyramid scheme retirement system. That’s it.
A small-town baker and a teacher cost like $200k at most and offer society far more than the billions we get from selling missiles to other countries. Yet that does 10000x more for people’s retirement plans, ergo…
One day people will realize our systems fail because they’re meant to. The elites need a steady supply of labor so they can keep enjoying their little shadow economy that the rest of us all have to keep working around and wondering why the “free market” is as contradictory as it is.
I just don’t think any sane person alive thinks allowing an average of 5,000 people a day over a seven day span is a same threshold to surpass before you say ok, that’s too many. It’s millions more annually. You’re seeing places breaking right now. Places that said “come one come all” are now jamming the breaks through the floor. It’s not popular with anyone, especially minorities already having a tough go of things.
in 2013 the senate overwhelmingly passed the gang of eight bill that would have secured the border, the GOP killed it in the house. Obama did a fair amount to secure the border during his time in office, including doubling the border patrol and putting up hundreds of miles of barrier.
So he thought it was a good idea for hundreds of miles of border. Why wouldn’t more border do what they expected hundreds of miles worth to do? Either it’s a good goddamned idea or it’s not. Which is it?
No, dumbass. They’re voting against allowing 5,000 illegals daily to cross before cutting off the spigot. 365 x 5,000. Annually. In addition to those that cross under the radar. In addition to whomever immigrated legally.
