Americans have been trained like Pavlovian dogs to believe that Republicans “are good on the economy,” despite the fact that it is simply not true. Just factually, empirically, not true. At all.
Right. Democrats are objectively better for the economy than Republicans. I forget the exact number but I believe 11 of the last 12 recessions happened under a Republican president.
No, they weren't. They were saying that Trump was riding on all the progress Obama's policies already did. There wasn't a delay in Obama's policies, they were put into place and caused a significant growth and it just kept growing during Trump first few years until he shit the bed with covid.
I wish I existed in the timeline where the Clinton 90's Booming Economy led into the Gore 2000's with manageable boom and bust cycles...and no Sub Prime garbage and no 9/11, as competent people would be in charge.
Also, Trump got COVID, which sucked but was also the biggest private profitability booster in this century. Bush had the war on terror and the patriot act, which boosted defense spending to ridiculous levels.
Like you can't just say "oh the dot com boom and crash was just Clinton's lucky lady" and act like it covered years of policy decisions
