And no, the numbers aren't even close. Trump did not want to spend ten trillion dollars for christ sake.
4.6 trillion in mandatory spending alone for FY2020.

The numbers are a lot closer than you think.

And the reconciliation bill was over 10 years, moron.

And trump's spending was what, over one day? Of course these things are projected over multiple years. That still doesn't answer why some spending is better than other spending. The only short-term metrics we have to go by are things like jobs added, average salary, inflation-adjusted cost, amount of flexible money for the middle class. All of these metrics were better under trump.

And they were also worse under both obama and now biden, so the "when my guy is in office and he sucks it's only because the previous administration sucked" argument doesn't hold water.

McConnell recently warned Biden the GOP will block a vote on paying the eight trillion in debt Trump accumulated slashing taxes for his rich friends.

The February-March 2020 crash says otherwise. To the tune of Trillions of dollars. Trump like other republican presidents before him lead to a recession. At one point the DOW was actually lower then Obama left it too Trump.

And before you say it wasn't Trumps fault. It was. It was all of his fault for the terrible way he handled or lack of handling this pandemic. Oh sorry he put the VP in charge and then Jared. :roll eyes

We will have to see if Evergrande and rolling blackouts (lack of resources) lead to the next recession.

Democrat and Republican administrations have ALWAYS both fucked up, and fixed the economy at different moments. It depends on the specific people, and specific policies, and the nature of the world at the time.
Lets just look at the last 30 years then. Facts are facts. Your opinion is not backed up by the data

All this crying about masks and vaccination mandates, CRT and other fake controversies pushed by right wing news to distract you from realizing you are being robbed blind by republican policies leads me to believe that you are all, in fact, the snowflakes you accused others of being.

How long til you realize this? Never?
