In Biden's first year, economic growth reached a 37-year high

There's always an excuse. When the economy shits the bed under Republican rule, that doesn't count for one reason or another, and when the economy grows robustly under Democratic rule, that doesn't count, either.... for "reasons." That's really the nature of the political choice right there. If you want results: vote Democrat. If you want well-crafted explanations for why you should disregard the results, vote Republican.

There you go lying your dumb ass off again. The economy was in FAR better shape under Trump than one year under Biden. Those are just the facts dimwit. Biden isn't done though. He's just beginning.

Howerver, that said, it is my sincere hope that after the massive shellacking Democrats in the House and the Senate will take this fall, Republicans will bring some sanity back.
;)

"Potential conflict in Europe"?! There's a full-scale fucking war in Europe, and it's because Putin decided to invade a neighboring country in the hopes of grabbing some Lebensraum for Russia. The only question is whether we should let him get away with it, the way he'd gotten away with earlier land grabs, in the hopes that appeasement will give us peace in our time. But we know how that story goes. Give Hitler Austria and he'll demand the Sudetenland. Give him that and he'll demand the Gdansk corridor. The only thing submitting to an expansionist's demands gets you is more demands.

There you go lying your dumb ass off again. There is no full scale war in Europe, at least not yet. What nations are involved in this "full scale war?" Only two dimwit. Ukraine and Russia. But keep wishing. With an idiot like Biden in charge, they could go nuke.

Biden never wanted to sit down with the parties and work things out. Arrogant, unintelligent assholes seldom do. Just as he did in Afghanistan, Biden is a total fuck up and will find a way to make things even worse for Ukrainians, Americans and the European continent.

That's an incredibly stupid claim considering that 1st quarter GDP was a negative 1.5%. :palm:

No. It was -1.5% ANNUALIZED. It was around -0.4% if you don't annualize it. Anyway, a single quarter of negative growth isn't uncommon and doesn't always signal recession. We were at -1.4%, annualized, in Q1 2014, then bounced back strongly the next quarter, and there was no recession (and none for years after that, until the Trump Recession hit). We also went negative in Q3 2011, and Q1 2011, with no associated recession. We'll have to see how well we bounce back.

Global Economics Intelligence executive summary, April 2022
May 9, 2022 | Article
Amidst high inflation and the continuing war in Ukraine, strong demand persists; forecasting institutions trim growth estimates.
Inflation accelerated in the United States and Eurozone to 8.5% and 7.5%, respectively, with high energy prices as the principal driver (Exhibit 1). The US economy contracted –0.4% in the first quarter of 2022; economists are citing steep increases in US imports as a cause of the retreat. Developed and emerging economies alike are experiencing continuing supply chain disruptions and productions shortages, challenges magnified by the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
 
Republican economic ideas caused BOTH the major economic crashes in this nation

Lie and very lame. But then, you are a triggered, low IQ mental case on steroids so there is that. :palm:


A Republican was responsible for the 1920s depression

Lie and very lame. Republican policies had NOTHING to do with the great depression. But then, you are a triggered, low IQ mental case on steroids so there is that. :palm:

Bush was responsible for the 2008 economic disaster

The housing crash of 2008 had NOTHING to do with Bush policies. It had EVERYTHING to do with Democrat policies and their unwillingness to heed the warnings expressed by the regulator. Democrats were race hustling morons over mortgages.

The economy does better under Democratic Party ideas

Apparently you've been sleeping the last year and a half. You wouldn't know a fact if it walked up and slapped your thick, empty, mentally challenged skull. :palm:

I get it. You don't want current facts and reality to get in the way of your lie filled partisan hack bloviating. :thumbsup:

Which statement, specifically, are you calling a lie? Please reference the specific statement and the evidence you see that it's untrue. Keep in mind that "lie" doesn't mean "fact that makes me sad."

You know what the lies are. But hey, if flailing, deflecting and bloviating half-truths and lies are what keeps you warm, go for it. The economic realities we are in today are dire and bound to get much worse.

When Democrats engaged in their dumb, thoughtless green energy wonk, when they shut down pipelines, refuse to grant drilling rights and basically attack the oil industry, you will get much higher prices. Deisel prices are at their highest ever. What that means, for undedicated dullards on the left, is that the cost of transportation is skyrocketing. That translates to much higher costs for EVERYTHING.

Wages will not keep up. Thus, we have declining purchasing power which then translates to less buying. Citizens will then move to buying essentials to live and cutting everything else. This is the ugly reality we are facing and it is most likely too late to reverse course, especially when you have a MORON in the White House who blames everyone but his own actions.

I imagine that in the next two quarters, reality might wake you up.

Despite repukes and their media sources of anti-Biden lies, smear tactics and disinformation from the beginning of the sewer element, this deplorable influence cannot get around the facts versus its lies to attempt the manipulate the thinking of society for uncivilized and evil reasons:

Kevin McCarthy argued last year that Joe Biden's policies "have stalled our recovery," adding, "Bidenomics is bad for America." Yeah, about that...

As a presidential candidate in 2016, Donald Trump made bold predictions about the kind of economic growth the United States would see if he were elected. Americans would celebrate, the Republican said, as annual GDP growth reached 4 percent for the first time in decades.

It was among the most jarring of Trump's broken promises. Even before the pandemic, GDP growth in Trump's first three years failed to reach 3 percent."

Bottom line:

But as it turns out, the U.S. economy was able to reach growth rates unseen in a generation, but it happened under President Joe Biden."

More shit from the Ministry of Truth.
 
Yep. What's annoying is the corporate press plays along. They turn the deficit into an existential threat during Democratic presidencies, to the point that they basically cheered us towards debt default in the Obama years because deficits weren't falling even faster, and then they go back to treating the deficit as a total non-issue when Republican presidents are driving up huge deficits to finance upper-class tax cuts and military over-spend.

Academic. The choice is either a debt crash or a cash crash. If you want to argue about the deficit, argue about the DEBT (which is still going up), and the means to repay it (not possible, since the government is broke). Printing money does not solve the problem. It only moves it around.
 
Again, climbing out of a deep hole created by Government mandates and shut downs, you will see growth. But we still haven't caught up to pre-Covid shut down employment and are now seeing the worst inflation, the highest gas prices in forty years. Not to mention a potential conflict in Europe thanks to Biden's refusal to involve the UN and talk with Putin.

Try to be less gullible and dumb.
:palm:

Biden is STILL trying to take credit for what DeSantis did.

DEMOCRATS shut down the economy, dumbass. We've been in an economic depression since then.
