re: In a disturbing sign (anecdote) of the economy struggling

quote:

---

And Biden sent it into warp speed with the American Rescue Plan

Naw. A better description is that it extended the window of inflation.

Spending from the ARP is supposed to be completed by 2026, so we'll feel it probably into 2028.

quote:

I haven’t seen any of yall criticizing Biden’s spending

Then you had other leftist posting charts, like below, that completely ignored Biden was in office.

You could have just said you gave up and don't have any substantive responses instead of making yourself look worse, my dude.

That's also known as business development for small businesses. Never knew this was a sign of a struggling economy. You're telling me in a good economy work seeks you out instead of you having to seek it out yourself?

By March 2021? Probably close to 100:0. Biden's big spending hadn't even really started by that point I don't believe.

The ARP was signed into law in early March 2021. I doubt any money from that was spent for at least a month or two. Also, spending from that plan did not just dump 100% of the total spending on the economy. I imagine what was spend from March-December 2021 is peanuts compared to Covid spending in 2020.

Today, since that is the point of the thread.

I'm not denying Trump spent, but pretending this is all Trump's fault, and Biden was just managing the ship, is asinine and just your TDS leaking through.

quote:

---

Neither did much.

The Fed under Biden raised raised rates to combat inflation, but that is an independent agency so Biden doesn't get credit.

---

This is a rather stupid and avoidance post.

So, neither did much huh?

Tell me, what happened under Biden's administration regarding the border? Do you think adding 20 million illegals to the country impacts out economy?
What happened to energy prices under Biden? What steps did Biden make to combat them, long term? We all know he released millions of barrels from the strategic reserve at the end of 24, right before the election, but what caused energy prices to skyrocket?
What energy policies did Biden cancel day 1 of his administration?
What happened to the ports under Biden?
What specific economic policies did the Biden administration enact that grew the private economy?

Now, conversely, what has Trump done in the last 9 months to combat inflation?
What has Trump done regarding the border?
What has Trump done to lower energy prices? (approach $2/gallon currently)
What has Trump done to bring jobs back to the United states?

You understand this, slow, but you won't say it because the TDS won't allow you to say it. Both Trump and Biden spent too much. The difference, is that there are actions taken by Trump to grow GDP that is tangible that can be linked back to direct action from his administration. I can't think of 1 single policy by the Biden admin that combatted inflation.

And, if you really want to dig in, we can equally blame Obama for his reckless spending. I think we all remember the "Magic Wand" comment and the "Those jobs just aren't coming back." Then Trump and his magic wand came in and "poof", the jobs came back.

So, be a little intellectually honest here, and stop pretending your too ignorant to udnerstand.

Strawman. Literally nobody argued this is all Trump's fault

You even responded to a post specifically responding to another poster's framing through March 2021, with the post specifically responsive to that framing, explaining how the impact of Biden's spending simply hadn't hit the economy to be able to cause inflation yet.

Was it ALL Trump's fault through March 2021? Pretty much, yes.

And now you pivot to largely unimpactful partisan policies

I understand the bait and switch you just tried to pull off on the back of a strawman, yes.

Well yeah. You still never answered this directly

quote:

How is criticizing Trump for spending like a DEM (more than DEMs, in fact) landing on "the democrat side of policy and debate" exactly?

---

My initial criticisms of Trump were his leftist economic policies.

Now the criticisms have largely shifted focus to retarded talking points and NPC logic, but the economic leftism never ended.

How is criticizing economic leftism somehow supporting DEM policies?

quote:

---

....how?

I will show you, follow me as i go through your responses.

To combat inflation? Not really.

I listed off quite a few things that caused increases in inflation and COGS. You just avoided them.

quote:

---

And now you pivot to largely unimpactful partisan policies

---

See again, avoidance.

So, you are telling me that energy, supply chain, and the private market is not impactful to inflation or the economy? Or are you just arguing this because it makes your post look stupid?

It's not a strawman just because you don't like what it's pointing to. In fact, you love that term but i dont' think you understand what it means.

How do you combat inflation, in a broad sense? You either A) cut spending and/or B) grow the economy.

I gave you examples of Trump growing the economy. I gave you examples of Biden policies that directly crippled the economy. In fact, Trumps policies, that i cited, to grow the economy were in direct response to fix the Biden policies to cripple the economy. And you call this, strawman... That's very telling of you. The wise lawyer, no so wise here.

This isn't hard.

Biden increased spending, and shrank the economy.
Trump increased spending, and is growing the economy.

There is a difference. Pretending Trump isn't better economically than the left is just TDS.

ETA: and stop upvoting your own posts. It's pathetic.

Once automation and AI take them, they're gone.

This is just the beginning. It will get worse quickly and we have no clue how to prepare or deal with it.

We're all going to be unemployed and yet also rich living off of that sweet government UBI.
