Oh yes, the economy is humming along so well that Trump and Biden are currently locked in a tight race where it's unclear who is in the lead. This is totally the result you see whenever the man at the helm is managing everything competently and there are no problems!

@Greyparrot
Yeah! Walking, and chewing bubblegum!
You walk backwards with MAGA cult, while chewing { bad mouthing } Biden every chance you get.
Your attempt to placate others, who speak truth, is weak at best.
Biden was politically savvy world wide when Trumpet was learning how to lie to verbally and in business ventures.

However, poverty stricken { not ' churning along ' topical } South America ---ex Argentina--- is voting in Trumpet types.
The gap between rich and poor has been growing since 70's.
..." Over the past 40 years, the gap between rich and poor communities has increased dramatically, and Robert Manduca believes a large measure of the change can be chalked up to rising income inequality.
.....“In 1980, only about 12 percent of the population lived in places that were especially rich or especially poor,” Manduca said. “By 2013, it was over 30 percent. So what we’re seeing is a polarization, where people are increasingly living in places that are either much richer or much poorer than the country overall.”....

They are locked in a tight race because MAGA Morons would still vote for Trump if he raped their sister.

Oh, what's that? Your 40K a year job now has the buying power that a 35K job did two and a half years ago,
What kind of loser makes 40k a year? Didn’t job creators give workers a huge pay increase when Republicans wisely cut their taxes by billions of dollars?
Are you saying the Trump tax cuts didn’t do what he said they would do? Plus abortion has been banned in half the states. Certainly that made things better for the average worker. Thanks Republicans!

People who can live on $40K a year and not go broke or homeless. That's who. Basically, $40K is equivalent to $60K in an area where the cost of living is 50% higher. It's equivalent to $80K in an area where the cost of living is 100% higher. This is a pretty common salary in America, which you would find if you left your Massachusetts bubble.

Didn't workers get a huge pay increase when Biden/Congressional dems started "stimulating" the economy with trillions in debt added? Why not?

Trump added 8 trillion in debt in just 4 years. By far the worst record in American history.

Joke's on you. The President doesn't decide the budget. That's Congress's job.

Because the plebs are morons who watch FOX News and don’t have the ability to exercise critical thinking skills.

I see, when Trump borrows money it’s the Congresses fault.
When Biden borrows money it’s the president’s fault.
And people call you a MAGA Moron

Also, the bulk of spending these past 50 years has essentially come from two sources: defense and social programs. I'll concede that Republicans are responsible for the former...up to a point (it's not like the world isn't filled with dangerous totalitarian threats that need defending against), but they aren't responsible for the latter.
Even where Republicans cut taxes, that wouldn't mean squat if there were no expenditures. It's because of pressure from Dems that said social programs remain intact and run up a deficit, so saying this or that "happened under the GOP's watch" is a fundamentally dishonest perspective. At the end of the day it's still the Dems who make this spending happen.
-->
@IwantRooseveltagain
Congress didn't so much as let Trump build a wall when there was a bicameral GOP majority. How much do you think he unilaterally "borrowed" from them?

Only for uneducated, unproductive MAGA Morons living in poor red states who rely on blue states to take care of them.
-->
@IwantRooseveltagain
And this kind of uninformed bigoted nonsense is exactly why the South will never vote Dem again. Maybe if you import enough illegals, but not otherwise.

Most of the money goes to take care of poor, uneducated whites in their old age. Especially farmers. Nobody gets more welfare in this country than farmers.
Crop insurance, crop subsidies, outright handouts to keep them afloat. Then rural areas need to be subsidized for everything from 911 phone service, to high speed internet, to scheduled air service.

The immigrants are the only people who work hard in the south. The whites are all fat and suffering from diabetes or some other chronic disease that blue state Americans have to pay for.
-->
@IwantRooseveltagain
The US spends about $30 billion a year on farm subsidies, which: (A). is a drop in the bucket compared to social security, medicare, and medicaid; (B). largely goes to a handful of rich farmers; and (C). helps keep grocery prices low for people like you, meaning you're a beneficiary of that money as much as they are.

Yeah no, it's clear you're an uneducated idiot who hates millions of people he's had minimal real-life interaction with. Exactly the kind of person who votes for Biden.

Bullshit. Trump spent more than that on direct aid to farmers.

Did you even read it or did you just see the headline?
The highest number touted in this article was $32.8 billion during Covid and its devastating impact on the farm industry, a figure which was projected to fall in 2021. Try again.
-->
@Swagnarok

Wrong. 32 billion in direct aid, just free money, not related to free crop insurance and the payments that go with it, or the subsidies offered farmers for their crop.
The direct aid began before COVID and was caused by Trumps stupid trade war.
“Direct farm aid has climbed each year of Trump’s presidency, from $11.5 billion in 2017 to more than $32 billion this year — an all-time high, with potentially far more funding still to come in 2020, amounting to about two-thirds of the cost of the entire Department of Housing and Urban Development and more than the Agriculture Department’s $24 billion discretionary budget”

@IwantRooseveltagain
Is American food self-sufficiency a bad thing? Would you rather we imported everything from China and Third World countries which could turn off our food supply if we angered the local tinpot dictator?
Also, it wasn't a "stupid" trade war. The pain was short-term with the goal of long-term gain in mind. And indeed, Trump was making progress. Several new agreements were hammered out with various countries and China even agreed to the "phase one" agreement, which Biden subsequently ignored once he took office.
-->
@Swagnarok
“The spending surge began in mid-2018 when USDA started writing checks to farmers and ranchers to pay for the damage from Trump’s trade war, which brought about higher tariffs that crushed agricultural exports and commodity prices. Farm sales to China plummeted from $19.5 billion in 2017 to just $9 billion the next year; as producers continued to hemorrhage profits in 2019, farm bankruptcies jumped nearly 20 percent last year”
Yeah Republicans. You were so wise to elect Donald Trump. Farmers are welfare queens

@Swagnarok
Farmers need the government to survive. Yet they rail about social programs for “other” people. Translation…not white people.

@Swagnarok

Oh it was stupid. And Trump thinks that China pays import duties when in reality it’s the importer (Americans) who pay the tax on goods coming from China.

I just find it funny when a Democrat complains about paying taxes. Reminds me of an electrical circuit that just wont complete.
