You wrote: "The economy was booming and setting record highs. Unemployment was at a record low" and "Democratic Pork"? How come Trump's Tax Cuts, which cost American taxpayers $2.3T, cost taxpayers more the $1.9T of the Dem Bill? More GOP PORK?? As you'll see, Tax Cuts were an abysmal FAILURE. When did this start? The US economy was heading DOWNWARD in the late 2019's which was PRIOR to Covid 19. Maybe you don't remember all the department stores going out of business and all the empty former stores? KMart, Gymboree, Payless and Sears were just about out of business at that point. There were 23 retail bankruptcies in 2019, compared with 17 in 2018, according to a tracking by CB Insights. You are either blind with Trump's man-juice or you're lying. Trump's VERY BEST year saw US GDP get to 2.9%, far below the "4, 5 or 6%, or higher" that Trump promised that we'd see IF his 2017 Tax Cuts passed. They DID pass, amirite? Never even got close. 2019 US GDP = 2.3%. I forget, is 2.3% higher or lower than 2.9%? In 2017, he only reached 2.4% GDP. Trump failed by his own measurement. So are you saying either 2.4%, 2.9% or 2.3% is, as you claim, "booming"? IF so you and I have VASTLY different understandings of the word "booming". The major problem is Trumpers seem to honestly believe that the Stock Market means the economy. The Stock Market is full of international companies that have no bearing whatsoever on Trump's failed policies. Things got much worse in Trump's 4th year during Covid 19. Now you might expect me to say, well, that wasn't Trump's fault but you'd be wrong. Trump was told by US intelligence in the FALL of 2019 about a rapidly moving virus out of Wuhan. And he said nothing and he did nothing to protect even one American life. He even refused to admit it was here when people came down sick with it, then he claimed/lied "it's only 2 and will be gone soon" or "gone by Easter in April" as he was continuously praising President Xi and China 4 times. So spare me with the happy talk about how effective Trump was. He was handed a growing economy and drove it, like many of his businesses, right into a ditch full of lies and excuses. And btw, Obama had 4 separate quarters of over 4% GDP and one quarter over 5% GDP. Trump looks quite pathetic as if they were measuring their manhood against each other with that little toadstool Stormy spoke about. A real minute-man (but not from Concord).
