The United States has surged back!

The facts are the facts.

 

Fact checks are fact checks.

 

And attacking the author is a way to avoid the facts.

 

It's an editorial. Editorials are opinions, and tend to be looked at as facts to some, and non-facts to others, depending on the person's opinion!

 

Some are data-based and some are not. I posted the former.

 

That does not take into account the fact that he served only 4 yrs, while other big spenders like Reagan served 8. Trump spend in 4 yrs about the same as Obama did in 8, and ironically he campaigned on paying off the debt.

I am not voting for either, but unfortunately unless Biden steps down, we will get one or the other

 

This is why I don't care much for the blame game on debt.

 

Yea, both sides are hypocritical about blaming each other for it.

 

There is no "Blame Game". Building debt has been by design, for the Republican Party, since 1974, but mostly a little later, starting with Reagan. It was at that time that they invoked the "Two Santa Claus Theory".

First, when Republicans control the federal government, and particularly the White House, spend money like a drunken sailor and run up the US debt as far and as fast as possible. This produces three results – it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy, it raises the debt dramatically, and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Claus.”

Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” This will force the Democrats in power to cut their own social safety net programs, thus shooting their welfare-of-the-American-people Santa Claus.

 

That sort of partisan bilge is part of the problem, not the solution.

 

And they are fighting the wrong thing. They are fighting private spending when they should be fighting government spending.

 

Still looking good!

Jobs grew at a brisk pace in March, but wage growth was contained, confirming a belief among economists that the U.S. can continue to expand employment without fanning inflation.

U.S. employers added a seasonally adjusted 303,000 jobs in March, the Labor Department reported Friday, significantly more than the 200,000 economists expected. The unemployment rate slipped to 3.8%, versus February’s 3.9%, in line with expectations...

Fed Chair Jerome Powell in recent months has signaled, however, that he no longer regards strong hiring as something to fear. That is because the labor force has been growing steadily, largely due to a strong rebound in immigration. As a result, brisk hiring isn’t stoking concern on Powell’s part that the economy is at significant risk of overheating.

“The economy actually isn’t becoming tighter, which it ordinarily would. It’s actually becoming a little looser, and you’re seeing inflation come down—very unusual situation,” Powell said on Wednesday.

The Biden team has demonstrated that they know how to keep our country on a positive track. When I compare to the mismanaged COVID crisis of 2019 and 2020, the unrest on the streets of the US, and the $8 Trillion in debt incurred under Trump; Biden is a God-send.
