Perhaps the best case Trump can make for improvement since he took office is higher wages and a boost in confidence. The average worker’s pay finally grew more than 3 percent a year under Trump, and there was a drop in the number of Americans on food stamps. Consumer and business confidence also jumped after Trump’s election and remained high after the GOP tax cuts took effect in 2018. As recently as February, many Americans rated this as the best economy since the late 1990s. Now those gains are wiped out.
Aaaahhhh. HOORRRRIIDID!!!!as usual you cherry picked your quote so i fixed that for ya. you left that part out intentionally to make it look like Trump was the reason for that when you know perfectly well he was not.

The pandemic recession triggered more than 22 million job losses, modern-day bread lines and millions of pay cuts. Even before the pandemic hit, the picture was mixed. Manufacturing, business investment and growth were slowing noticeably heading into 2020.
Horrible.

Autocracy is a horrible thing.
The Republicans need the Democrats-- because without them... society will lack a lot of things that make a society worth living in. The tendency to only worry about the $$ takes the life out of living.
Democrats need the Republicans-- because without them... your attempts to coddle the world will result in economic collapse on a cataclysmic level. The tendency to try too hard to take care of a people who should be able to care for themselves creates an entitled nation unable to ultimately defend itself from both outer and inner forces.
