the economy goes thru a cycle just like the weather. no one person earns the credit\blame for its performance

@1490wayb Absolutely. Many factors, positive and negative, weigh upon economic performance. Some may be attributed to government policy, others to global trends beyond national politicians. But a good start is to agree the basis of measurement.

@SunshineGirl You should give that BC!

This lovely post is a little too complicated for me to understand but I am a proud Bernie Sandars and AOC supporter who are the most left wing politicians in America! 😇😇😇 My husband sadly says it is extremely unlikely those two would ever become president though! 😭😭😭 Bernie Sandars and AOC both want Universal healthcare instead of Obamacare but most Democrats prefer to expand Obamacare instead which is not as good as Universal healthcare but definitely better than no help at all! 💖💖💖

Don’t worry, they will all say Trump was handed a good economy and he did nothing. I know for a fact, 2 weeks age at Costco I got 5 dozen eggs for 10.99, yesterday that 5 dozen was 13.99. Absolutely crazy! Biden and Harris screwed the economy so bad last 4 years

@Hello4me The cost of living crisis is real and serious. But when we look at the statistics and see near full employment and a rate of growth triple that of the average in the rest of the G7, what is the obvious conclusion? That economic fruits are not being distributed widely enough.

The unemployment numbers are fake.
By the way the interest rates are now at 1.5.
There's work yet to be done.

@justanothername Indeed, which is why it's important to establish facts from the outset 🙂

@SunshineGirl On the ground we see what is going on. America is not stupid.

@SunshineGirl Facts are irrelevant to the far right unfortunately.
