This feels more like The Rockets are up 15 in the 4th, make a dunk, but the officials don't count the dunk and the Rockets end up going to overtime. Biden up in GA, PA, NV and AZ with more Dem votes coming... it's over what are they waiting for?
The economy hasn't done well for the middle class for about 5 decades now. It's been a downward trend in things like homeownership and consumer debt.
It's messy, but it's designed to be that way. The less standard it is, the harder it is for say, the losing side to try to amass a bunch of lawyers to overturn the result. People forget that the Bush-Gore decision drained the GOP of resources significantly - it was a huge effort involving hundreds of lawyers. And that was for one state.
The middle class has been fooled into think that having an ungodly amount of debt is just part of life.
Out of morbid curiosity I took you off ignore for a sec because you are really good at saying a lot of words that don’t seem to mean to much but wtf , even the harshest critics of trump will say his first 3 years in office of handing the economy has been stellar , COVID did him in by virtue of political novice experience ...I just look at myself and others , I got out of debt besides the house, got a new home in 2019 that skyrocketed in value, started a successful business in Tennessee that actually grew during COVID this year ...and I’m half Hispanic so don’t give me the white privilege nonsense , anyways back to ignore you go, you may dead air the the rhetorical progressive anti compromise nonsense at will, just know I’m not gonna see your nonsense
Nope all since 2016 but yes he wasn’t a bad President but also wasn’t a non compromising progressive either, which is my point being effective isn’t about a progressive far left agenda otherwise the voting wouldn’t be as even as it was.. Do we really think having a far left candidate would produce better results than what Biden did ...Biden won because Trump had a very bad 2020 but Biden also had greater political savvy. More experience, didn’t come across as zany or angry in some instances besides gaffes and more than that said he would be a president for ALL states...if this isn’t in line with a willingness to compromise on the severity and scope of ideology I guess then it’s empty words
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u...d-during-the-2008-financial-crisis-2019-06-19 This was in 2019 before COVID. Trump's economy was fueled by consumer debt and stock buybacks. The wealthy definitely did see a boom. But during that time, no debt relief for the actual middle class while wages marginally increased. Trump's economy didn't grow based on improved conditions of the consumer class. It improves based on low fed interest rates, consumers racking up debt and stock buybacks. None of this **** is sustainable and always leads to economic bubbles. Also the media is complicit in this as they have trained the American brain to think the only thing that matters in the economy is gdp growth and the unemployment rate. It's 2020. The median white household still has 1000% of the wealth of a median black household. The vast majority of Americans today are still living paycheck to paycheck. 40 percent of American still either have no health insurance or are underinsured. The economy hasn't done well for most of the middle class for a long time even under Obama. I know I sound like Bernie Sanders but this **** is real.
I meant under Hillary. The trends and job growth trajectory didn't change after Obama to Trump. In reality, it takes years and years before a gov't policy has significant impact on the economy outside of direct stimulus. Trump tax cuts didn't not generate a ton of economic growth based on economic analysis. I am 99% sure that your success, (and congrats to it) had nothing to do with whom was president in 2012 or 2016
