The real question is how we are going to learn that this is really Biden’s fault, because poor little Pumpkinhead was handed the “worst economy ever”, etc…
Even if if was an economy that was the envy of the world.
Trump has been trying to clean up Biden’s mess but he left the economy in shambles. That is what Demonrats do, everytime they get in power they run up the deficit by giving undeserving immigrants hard working American’s paychecks. It takes years to undo this damage and Trump and his crack team are doing everything they can.
Something disconnected and stupid like that.
European here. I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person (aside from Americans) who expressed a sentiment similar to the US economy being “the envy of the world.”
It was a phrase being used in several publications around the time as well as the IMF? I think they got it from data comparing various first-world economies and their economic recovery rates from Covid.
The vibes at the time within the U.S.? You’d think that all economic indicators sucked or something, which was…just not true. I use the phrase to mock the idiotic right wing that acts like the economy was terrible under Biden as well as the reactionary centrists that take their cues from the right wing as well.
I guess the IMF missed the ongoing devastating health care crisis, high violent crime rates, poor social mobility (partially due to incomplete desegregation), few vacation days and barely any parental leave, obesity rates, opioid epidemic, etc. etc.
I don’t know anyone who envies much of anything about the U.S., but it does seem like every time we cause the world economy to shit the bed, our billionaires seem to be ok before your billionaires are.
So, maybe those are the people who envy the U.S.
So much winning! MAGAts bring much goodness to life.
Don’t expect any of them to be able to draw the dots to what PEDOnald has done to cause this.
Meanwhile, none of these mouthbreathers could tell me how Biden was supposedly causing inflation. They kept talking like he had some big dial he was turning up. Also, they could not tell me in any meaningful way how Biden’s economy was so “terrible” or what he was doing wrong, specifically. They’d blather about “Biden’s policies” or about “Biden’s economics” but had exactly zero specific.
It was all vibey bullshit.
100% they will keep supporting this monster because he is just like them: Evil.
They’re fine with suffering, as long as someone they don’t like suffers more
I remember talking to someone right after 2024 election, who was saying the economy was terrible (“because Biden”, lol), etc.
I asked him how it was terrible for him. He was still working, as was I. I said I’ve been doing relatively okay, and things seemed to be back on the right track, etc.
He says something along the lines of “well, maybe people like you shouldn’t be doing well”. Keep in mind this is an in-law. Implying that I should be doing worse. His kids play with my kids.
What in the holy fuck is wrong with these people?
BTW, later on in early 2025 in an extension of this conversation, he thought Elon’s DOGE would be “good” because it might “shake things up” in government. Well, lots of things can “shake things up” when it comes to a complicated system. Just randomly changing things tends to destroy them, not make them better.
But this guy is also barely literate and cannot really do basic math, either, so…shrug?
