    Your concern is politics. Mine is the common good. I don't care what politicians run on.

    Obam/Biden = no panic during the H1N1 pandemic. No economic crash.

    Trump/Pence = panic and economic crash during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Just a plain old historical fact.

    That's fact their policies which were supposed to mitigate the slowdown/recession failed and it was the worst recovery history. And the deficits and debt did explode, going from the last Republican 2007 of just $161B to $1,400B in two years and staying over $1,000B for the nest three and only started receding as the Republicans took back the House and then the Senate and forced sequester and austerity.

    Why would anyone want to go back to those Democrats policies?

    Which if course nothing like COVID and they waited a year to respond

    So the Democrats oppose the business shutdown and Biden will be running on that and you agree?

    What panic? It's been quite measured yet you and the left say they didn't do enough and should have done it sooner and that he has been downplaying it. You're talking about both sides of your mouth.

    You really have no idea how big the deficit exploded between 2008 and 2010?

    Because the Republicans' ones don't work.

    Despite Trump's claims, only 60% of Americans say they are in a better economic situation than in 2016.

    That was before the pandemic... of course.

    I just told you.

    They did during the 2001 recession and recovery.

    That's a solid majority and we were having one of the best if not the best economies on record.

    You of course realize that the deaths per million in the US will go up; is that an acceptable loss of life to you?

    As you know, the deficits and debt exploded due to the Republican caused recession. Thankfully, Obama and the Dems turned that around, cut UE in half, tripled the stock market and had the longest period of economic growth post ww2.

    The economy was in the exact same unchanging trend line from 2010 until Jan 2020. Nothing changed under trump, except we are now headed to another massive recession. And no, I’m not blaming trump do this recession.

    No , but it's going to happen, take it up with China. If nothing else good comes from this, essential manufacturing will return to the U.S. providing millions of blue collar jobs.

    It is pointless to try and have a discussion with you as you will merely claim you have already refuted anything posted, as you demonstrated regularly, and refuse to answer direct questions to you as you recently did again. Your history of obfuscation well documented.
    And of course your claims of white flags, no white flag offered. So don't fallaciously claim one as that seems to be your only goal on this board.

    White flag noted and accepted. You can’t address my posts and the facts contained in them, so you have to post this copy and paste bullshit

    Its not Trump's fault the Democrats voted for impeachment with insufficient evidence to convict.

    The FAKE TRIAL in the Senate was as phony as a $3 bill, and you know it!

    Because the Democrats chose to take their case to trial w/o sufficient evidence to convict.

    Obama's recovery from the Great Bush Recession was stronger than Tramp's "recovery" from Obama's recovery!!!!!

    They had more than sufficient evidence, the GOP simply ignored it.

    Notice how every time the Right repeat their fabrications they keep getting more and more exaggerated!
    They started out with the false claim Obama played golf for 6 months before doing anything, and now it's he did nothing for a year!!!!!

    The Democrats took the Congress a year before the recession began, the ball was in their lap to pass legislation to help mitigate the slowdown and lesson the depth and length of the recession and then, with a Democrat in the WH get us into a full recovery, they failed at both. The Obama stimulus which HE said would limit unemployment to just 8% was a total failure as unemployment soared to 10% and stayed over 8% for the next 3. It was as the Republicans took back the Congress starting in 2012 House and then 2014 the Senate and then 2016 the White House that recovered the economy and we had one of if not the best economies ever.

    Presidents aren't kings everything doesn't hinge on the President the House and the Senate play their equal roles. Whichever party controls 2 of the three has majority power.
