the border rules have changed, for some reason they didn't get that message out.

Quote from: Hobby on Oct 28, 2024, 11:36 AMIt did not matter who the president was in 2017 inflation and unemployment would have hit record low numbers because of Obama not Trump.

When the US was in lock down the government should have been buying and storing oil.

Covid devastated our economy regardless of who the president was in 2021 inflation unemployment and fuel cost would have soared.  The president has little control over our economy but does have full control over our southern border and thats where Biden really blew it.

Good for you. I lost my ass in 2023..

Trumps numbers looked good.

I didn't lose anything in any of those years because I do not invest in the stock market so who is President has almost no bearing on my income or investments.

Trump cutting taxes for all the super wealthy ignited inflation.  Biden finally has reeled it back in and you want to have Trump go at it again?     We cannot afford another Trump presidency.

It should be noted that Trump inherited the Obama economy.

Donald Trump (2017–2021)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 1.9%
The average year-over-year inflation rate under President Donald Trump was 1.9%. Inflation remained low during Trump's presidency.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, bringing a brief but severe recession along with it, the Trump administration declared a state of emergency and passed stimulus measures such as the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in an attempt to provide relief to individuals and businesses.

Joe Biden (2021–)
Average YOY Inflation Rate: 5.2%*
The average year-over-year inflation rate under President Joe Biden so far is 5.2%. Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021, a $1.9 trillion stimulus package to help the country recover from COVID-19. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 caused gas prices to soar, inflation rose to record levels not seen since the 1980s.
Inflation peaked at 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022, the highest increase in 40 years.
The Fed responded by raising interest rates 11 times since March 2022 in an attempt to cool the stubborn inflation. While inflation did come down from its 2022 peak in 2023, it still remains above the Fed's 2% target.In September 2024, the Fed is expected to make its first rate cut in four years.
*The average year-over-year inflation rate for the Biden administration was calculated for the years 2021 to August 2024, since Biden's term is still ongoing.

It was covid and devastation it caused is what caused skyrocket inflation the first two years of Biden administration.  The inflation and high fuel cost would have happened if Trump been reelected.  But sadly most voters blame the sitting incumbent for all of it.  Trump is a master playing the blame game and misdirection of the facts.
