Is the economy good or bad? Are the democrats the reason it is bad?

Big Lots is closing over 100 stores. These are low income stores. We could be in a depression right now.

Bad , yes Democrats

Good

Bad , Republicans

Big Lots is probably closing the stores in Democrat run cities where shoplifting is not a crime. CVS and Wahlgreens is doing it where I live and also Stop and Shop.

I love listening to the people who live in those neighborhoods complain that there is n place for them to get prescriptions and other health needs. If you ask them who they voted for they will tell you Biden. I have no sympathy.

Economy is not really that good because we still have inflation but they think it’s good because they did this to it. I’m seeing many places close and leaving even here

Costs are coming down, the stock market is the highest its ever been (literally click MAX and watch stocks from Apple & DOW Jones & Nvidia), unemployment is a record low, etc.
I went to a museum on the Great Depression and if people saw the high suicide rates, Hoovervilles, stock market’s lowest point in 1929, etc. then there wouldn’t be talks of a depression. Also take a look back at 2008’s recession and it is clearly marginally different than the economic ‘situation’ today. It is nuts to believe this because it isn’t there. It is neither.

You can feel as though the economy is doing poorly though the stats, data, margins, and professionals on the subject say it is indeed fine and we are coming back together.

Also why was unemployment up? Pandemic. The economy was on a stand still because people didn’t want to spread a deadly disease. Masks prevented the disease, there was overwhelming consensus from the President’s own head of CDC. Trump even gave Doctor Fauci a medal of freedom (look it up, there are photos) and even Trump giving Fauci praise.

If you take a look back at gas prices, Canada’s prices were higher than America’s & majority of Europe too. Biden didn’t cause those yet people loved to put the blame on Biden even though there is no correlation.
You can Google it back when people spread that misinformation.

*correction January 19th 2021 Trump gave Fauci a Presidential commendation, not a medal of freedom.

i don't buy much. but i know you will. so until you stop nothing will change.

i actually think we tried that which led to increasing rent and housing. and when that didn't work it led to the pandemic. and they did it until we were broke. that's the democrats idea of a good economy. broke people who believe time and time again in broken promises

[XXblack88]

Yeah the dems are the reason for the high prices
