The U.S Economy is about to hit the fed's target for inflation without a recession for the first time since Bill Clinton was first in office.

Republicans can't do that. Every time in the last 20 years there has been a Republican president the economic woes just became worse, never better.
In a comparative report done in the first year of Trump's term it was indeed highlighted that the health of the economy is very sensitive to who sits in the Oval Office.

But wait, Trump keeps telling me the economy is terrible. Are you suggesting he's not being honest?

@LordShadowfire Trump, not honest? How DARE you....speak the truth....

@LordShadowfire Tell my pocketbook the economy is better!

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@SW-User Oh, that. Well, you see, due to President Trump deregulating businesses, as he promises to do again if elected, grocery stores, fast food places, and other consumer driven businesses are able to name their own price, and there's nobody prosecuting them for price gouging.

Glad I could clear that up for you. *pats you on the head*

@LordShadowfire Nice deflection but not even close. Inflation and prices happened because of Bidens policy. But keep drinking the kool aid they are giving out.

But I get why you blindly parrot the lying talking points of the Heritage Foundation, since you're clearly a fan of Project 2025.

Facts are facts buddy. I know you liberals don’t like truth. Inflation and interest rates were down under Trump. Houses was affordable. We were energy independent and paying a lot less at the pump. Maybe the vaccine and boosters has effected your memory.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@SW-User Yeah, well, I'm waiting for your documented evidence. I showed you mine.

Now give me a laughing emoji if you've got nothing to back up your claims but insults.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@SW-User Very good. I own you. You do what I say.

Now laugh again.
