Oh really. We are still in the "Trump economy". Are you effing kidding me. The economy is effected by the oil pipeline shutdowns and the jobs lost because of that. Also effected by the pandemic shutdowns that Trump was against. Effected by a doddering dolt of a President that is tearing this nation apart by being weak and letting other world leaders run roughshod while we run with our tails between our legs. There is ABSOLUTELY no respect for the office of the President coming from this veteran and if you like the price at the fuel pumps, make sure that when they come down, you pay for the next person in line at the pump so you can get that "feel good" feeling. Why don't you go down to the border and help hand out new cell phones and food stamps and living vouchers to the new US citizens that ass wipe is letting cross the border. Another feel good feeling that should make your day. Those new higher taxes that we are paying to support the additional medical coverage and all the freebies and social security disability funds should also get you all fluttery inside.
There is an 18 to 24 month lag between an administration change and economic change due to policy changes. It has historically been like this since the 1840's, when we were finally getting a robust economy that wasn't dependent on foreign currency. Like pieces of 8. (Spanish Rial) Yes, there have been exceptions. Hoover got hammered because of the stock market crash of 1929 and resulting depression. Roosevelt got a boost from Defense spending in the late 30's leading up to ad then the prosecution of the Second World War.
Don't be fooled by what you hear. It's often people who are profiting by keeping you riled up. Rush Limbaugh was honest about it. He once said in an interview that "He said what he said so he could charge Usurious advertising rates."
Do not assume I'm Liberal. I am not. I'm an old time Conservative. Not a Neo-Conservative that goes for profit only and could be considered Facist. I regret ever thinking of voting for Trump, much less actually actually voting for and working to elect a draft dodger who detested the military. He called John McLean a loser because he served in the military, was shot down and injured and was a POW for years. When Green Berets were killed in a fire fight, as Commander In Chief he told their widows "They knew what they were getting into".
I passed off him not releasing his taxes like every candidate in the last 100+ years. He said he would release them after the audit was done. It's been nearly 9 years since he said that. What's he hiding?
