Is this Bidenomics?
Republicans blame every bad thing on current presidents when they are Democrats. And when they are Republicans blame every thing on the previous president.
They are children who can't accept responsibility for anything in their lives.
I'm not actually a Republican, just someone who knows that if Biden ties his name to this economy he's going to lose to Trump, and I don't want that.
I’m not the one who came up with Bidenomics as their fascism-beating campaign slogan
The Biden team came up with it
Biden’s campaign is literally calling it Bidenomics
Hi, I'm OP.
I said "Is this Bidenomics" because the Biden administration is trying to push how great the economy is doing and is frustrated that people don't agree with statistics. And this post is an excellent example of why people don't agree the economy is doing great. It was a criticism of their political strategy and lack of awareness.
Then again, these are the same people who crammed 81 candles onto a six-inch wide cake and then snapped a picture that highlights Biden's advancing age, so I don't think the adults are running the show.
I understand that they're claiming the gains as Bidenomics. My point is that they are not laying claim to the economy itself, but the recent changes that have fixed things.
Again, look to Obamacare. Obamacare is not all insurance just as Bidenomics is not the economy.
You are performing the exact mental retardation that Republicans do when they blame the current president for the entire economy. Even if it's a joke, it's a joke completely and utterly based in ignorance. If you want to make that mental retardation the joke, then you'll have to make that thought the target of the joke and not simply repeat it.
I'm not blaming Biden for the economy. I know the president has zero power over it because we live in a corporate feudal state with a priesthood of economists, politicians, and lawyers.
I'm saying that the gains they're trumpeting are overwhelmed by things like this. If people think the economy is doing poorly the solution is not to "well actually" and throw statistics at them.
Because Biden's trying to push his economic successes and not getting any traction, and maybe this is the reason people don't think the economy is doing good despite statistics.
Except for the FACT that every single republican president throws us into an economic depression by way of insane spending and corporate tax cuts.
After which the next democratic president has to claw us out of to avoid a full on recession, which president Biden has done.
Btw, what is the current real inflation rate in the US? What was it when Biden first took over from the traitor, vs today?
I don't want Trump, either, dude. If the Democrats can't get people thinking things are getting better we get Trump again.
When they crow about Wall Street, this post is the thing they're happy about
No, it’s Reganomics. It’s the same BS for the last 42 years.
Huh, I didn't know Biden was on the board of directors of Huggies. TIL.
/s
Biden pulled the 'diaper price' lever. It's next to the 'gas price' lever in the Oval Office.
Probably Hunter at it again... That rascal is always up to something!
Hunter and his massive schlong are always up to no good!
