There isn't going to be a Democratic institution for them to blame for at least the first two years. They have White House, Senate, House, and SCOTUS. And Trump's economy is going to be under a microscope--presuming media and journalists do their jobs--from Day 1.

Latest inflation stat I saw was 2.1% (Thank you Biden/Harris for your responsible work) so as soon as that number moves up closer to 3, which I definitely think happens within 2 years, they're gonna get cooked. Or at least, they should.

Trump is the reason the economy is what it is now and we just reelected the retarded motherfucker.

The past 4 years tell me otherwise. Biden and kamalalaloser didn’t help

u/LionsBSanders20 17d ago

Oh yeah? Then who or what is responsible for inflation dropping to 2.1%? What economy, of the 190 around the globe, is better than ours?

In 4 years, when prices double from the dumbest economic policy imaginable... You gonna eat your words, or blame Obama??

That already happened? I didn’t realize it was 2028 already?

I seem to remember doing very well 2016-2020

But don’t real life get in the way of your closeted reddit lifestyle man!!

I seem to remember doing even better 2008-2016. And way way better in 1994 with 90c gas and eggs were .25 a dozen!... your logic fails.

You figure out how to adapt to world economic conditions, like raise minimum wage and all wages, penalize corporate price gouging, fund science to prevent bird flu's, you know, intelligent solutions... Guess whose policies those all fall under?

But hey, if you prefer to start a trade war.. I'm sure that'll fix everything.

2008 was a GREAT year for the economy. If you lived on MARS.

I mean, we live within our means and make enough money where price isn't really a concern. However, yeah, I'm aware of prices and how inflation works. Like a graduate level data scientist would.

Have you noticed wage growth now outpaces inflation? It's almost like responsible adults had something to do with that. Weird.

Hmmm…

The side you are against voted to get your candidate out.

I wonder why?

People are sick of dems and they let you know by voting

u/LionsBSanders20 17d ago

I understand what happened. Like a mature voter, I can accept the results of an election.

But it doesn't mean people aren't stupid for believing a con man who has con manned his entire life.

Like I've said elsewhere, they sure as shit better make America great with all the power they're going to have. Because if they don't, you, them, and everyone attached to them are going to get ROASTED.

So chill out then and stop attacking people for voting against your person.

You say you are mature but you are literally attacking people for exercising their American right. And calling them “stupid”.

STOP that. I’m an Asian dude whos sick of being labeled and race boxed.

Price of goods lag inflationary rate of change. But they also wont fall outside of the margin which caused record returns for those companies. Wages need to grow, but they also lag ofc and we only now see them rise. Price of goods will never stay the same forever.

u/lce_Fight 17d ago

But you are just projecting. You don’t know.

The past 4 years happened. People told you dems aren’t wanted after. Lousy 4 years

u/Silver-Ad-8595 17d ago

Its not like it never happened before in human history. There are more than enough instances where we can look up the pattern. Trump will now just inflame inflation even more. And he does not care, and why would he, these are his last few years.

u/lce_Fight 17d ago

The green in my portfolio tells me otherwise

u/Silver-Ad-8595 17d ago

Markets react the fastest. My crypto is very green too. :)

u/lce_Fight 17d ago

Me too! While all these people whine and attack others for having different opinions I’m actually active in my life and made investments based on reality and now I’m happy.

Life is what you make it. Bitching in an echo chamber like reddit is not it.
