"Vote R for Recession" needs to become a catchphrase.

We can screech about this from the top of our lungs and it will still fall on deaf ears. Republicans have always been hopelessly stupid.

Throw the 90 million nonvoters too. Just as stupid.

Especially the ones who did it "to teach the Dems a lesson".

They got taught a lesson alright, that those voters rather step side and allow a fascist to rise to power if they don't get their demands met unrealistically rapidly.

it's super easy. how do you grow an economy?  investment

why would you invest in an economy? answer; if there's a stable market  available

investment level has very little to do with the availability of funding. it's all predicated on the prospect of being able to sell what you've started to produce AKA a market

should have been clearer. giving money to the super wealthy has no effect on the level of investment. if it's worth investing, the money appears kind of by magic but mostly from Banks, other institutions etc

Rejection of progress based in fear and insecurity. Bad for business, good for votes.

The economy took a pretty big hit due to COVID. Numbers don't lie.

u/Schlonzig 1d ago

And who used every opportunity to make the pandemic worse?

What year did COVID-19 famously start in? What year did it cause a recession in the US?

What year did Biden take office?

That guy probably wonders why Obama wasn't in the oval office during 9/11

We are on the internet, you can literally see for yourself.

In 2021 the real GDP grew by 5.9%, the fastest rate in 37 years. In jan 2021 unemployment was 6.3% and by dec 20204 it was 3.4, 3.4%!!!! That is the lowest in 50 years. Wages and net worth also grew substantially under him. So no the economy did not get worse.
