How many people can honestly say that they are better off with the economy being what is now compared to four years ago? And to the best of my knowledge there was far less conflict going on in the world.
The company that I work for and most companies that fall under the DOW or S&P would point at profits now and laugh at the statement that 4 years ago was better. It is slowly making its way to the workers. Those with commission or stock have seen returns this year like they have never seen before. It will likely last a few more years regardless of what stiff is in office, that don’t do anything beyond golf or nap all day.
The economy was in a free fall 4 years ago, due to COVID. That is an undeniable FACT. Most economists thought there would be a minimal chance of a “soft landing”, meaning no major recession. We were bandaged together with government subsidies to keep businesses open.
If you were to say economy now vs pre-COVID, I’d maybe agree. But COVID happened, it was real and it was majorly disruptive. I don’t blame Trump for COVID, I don’t blame the corpse for inflation. COVID is why the economy was in free fall 4 years ago. COVID caused international manufacturing to grind to a halt. COVID caused international shipping to grind to a halt. COVID caused a major shift in consumer patterns that our market is still adjusting to. Those same things that put the economy in a free fall four years ago are the same things that caused inflation. Sure, Trump and the corpse throwing money at it, didn’t help, but was MINIMAL to the core reasons.
The answer to this is downright disingenuous or a joke, if you say it was better 4 years ago. Just as much so to say “before COVID for my candidate, but the other candidate is responsible for the fallout of COVID”. Do any of you “hurrah for my team” politicos even realize you do this? Not saying any of you specifically, but many posts on here for the decades that I have been involved read exactly like that. I am sure many of mine do as well.
Better to focus on the corpse running for reelection. If he stays in, honest economic history doesn’t really matter…. I personally would rather have Trump than that corpse and I am not a fan of nazism.
