Americans, you're wrong to worry about your country's economic performance, don't you agree?

I share this text written by an American, which is very accurate.


" FYI , the U. S. was economically outperforming Canada and the UK and Japan and France and Germany and Italy under Trump and has continued to outperform ALL G7 countries under Biden. Our inflation adjusted growth is better. Our GDP per capita is higher. Our stock markets have gained more. Our unemployment is lower.

I realize Uber partisan people think that the 🇺🇸 economy was amazing / perfect / glorious under their preferred politician and then awful / impoverished / horrendous under the guy they don’t like … but the data actually makes it quite clear that we’ve been kicking the entire G7’s ass under both trump and Biden.

There are many differences between Biden/Trump and Trump/Harris but 🇺🇸 economic dominance relative to the rest of the 1st world isn’t really one of them. That’s been a near constant under both of them.

So please feel free to yell at each other about other policy topics and issues. But probably best to just accept that 🇺🇸 has been economically outperforming the G7 in a bipartisan way.

I hate to be doom and gloom, but I believe we need to be concerned.
- Saudi Arabia has refused to renew their contract to only trade their oil in US Dollars; we are losing the petro dollar
- The transfer of wealth is only becoming greater; COVID and COVID policies exacerbated this further
- We are continuing to produce less and less and importing more and more.
- We are hemorrhaging money to the rest of the world; both in cold hard cash and in assets to support our allies
- Our debt is compounding, and the rest of the world owns it; we default, global repercussions

In short, EVERYONE should be worried about our country's economic performance; if we fail, the world will feel it.

Well, no; but then, if I did, I wouldn't think that, and so wouldn't be wrong, would I?

But the truth is that I'm not really worried about our economic standing relative to the rest of the world; I'm worried about whether I'm going to be able to afford to both eat and keep a roof over my head. I have been homeless. I've awoken to find bugs crawling over my hands and wept for joy, because I realized that this meant that if I could find a way to trap them, I'd have not only free calories, but free protein. However disgusting you think cockroaches taste, I'm telling you now they taste worst than that.

I don't want to go back to that. If Canadians, Germans and Italians are starving faster than I am, I don't see that as a plus.

We have a Laissez-faire free market. The whole point is the government is hands off. The only time it does is when the economy needs a bail out.

Privatize the profit to the top 1% and socialize the risk and losses.

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY has lost. Now we can start working on repairing the thing that the Democrats have damaged and destroyed over the last almost 4 years, and reclaim our place among nations that are laughing and disrespecting us because of weak ineffective leadership of this country giving aid and comfort to our sworn enemies

On paper it seemed good under biden but to all the people who suddenly found thier groceries costing 2 to 3 times more, thier gas getting so expensive it made driving damn near cost prohibited. The biden economy was not good. And no amount of trying to tell people to ignore thier lying eyes is going to work. The fact is bidens economy fucked over a lot of people and that's why althea 2024 election turned out like it did. Trump landslide so hard they couldn't even cheat thier was to victory.

Well, it would seem that trying to convince Americans not to worry about the state of the economy was NOT a winning strategy for an election. Moreover, it seems a colossal waste raising (and pissing away) $1 BILLION to try to convince people not to care about the economy!

America is an industrial giant, beyond other countries so can't compare.

Only comapre to itself.

[Julie4]

No, China outstrips the USA in terms of industrial capacity

[NathanDavis]

I'm not worried about it... not even during the pandemia

I just got to work, as one should...

[FunkyMonkee]

Not anymore!! Now, we KNOW it's gonna be great, again and, chances are, yours will, too because of us!! Better get used to the idea!!

[RedInnocent69]

Yeah, ‘worried’ is overstated. But perception is not objective reality, especially when you’re buying groceries

[seeyounexttuesday]

Just because other countries suck more doesn't mean our inflation isn't out of control.

Worry about your own country

[DerekC321]

Yes, but facts are meaningless here.
