Seeker Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Right. You should really read these articles before you post them. The headline says Biden's a hero but the body of the article says it really has nothing to do with him. From the article: In Biden’s case, it’s especially difficult to gauge whether the market was reacting to him specifically or simply continuing to ride the steam locomotive that began in late March 2020 and has shown only sporadic signs of slowing down since. “Anyone that became president this year was going to have a pretty significant tailwind,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. No president, in fact, had a tailwind comparable to what Biden was handed in January. Congress already had appropriated more than $3 trillion in stimulus and the Federal Reserve had relaxed policy to the loosest point in the central bank’s history. All told, more than $5.3 trillion has been spent on Covid-related relief efforts, and the Fed’s bond purchases have nearly doubled its balance sheet to just shy of $8 trillion.

It's been an all-out effort to maintain the house-of-cards that the US financial system has become. I have been watching lots of commentary suggesting we are in for a bigger crash than 2008.

That's like comparing a push from a weak grandmother with a push from a four-man Olympic bobsled team - I'd say those apples are not comparable. That's like comparing the wind from blowing out a birthday candle with hurricane Juan. That's like comparing an electric scooter with a top-fuel dragster. That's like......well, you get the idea.

What has he made better? The border situation? Haha, anyway, this story isn't over yet. He's thrown a jerrycan of gasoline on the fire and you're saying, "wow, look at those flames!" The market is juiced on stimulus cheques and truckloads of fake money sloshing around. Let's wait to see where those chickens end up roosting before we celebrate the sage management of the great Democratic Party and their puppet.

There simply isn't enough data points to reach a reliable conclusion. From the article: Since the Depression was an outlier to this dataset, it makes sense to remove both FDR's and Hoover's results. Not counting the Depression, Democrats gained 3.6% on average while Republicans gained 2.8%. So, a "fair" comparison (one that excludes the Depression) gives the Dems a 0.8% advantage but this still leaves in the numbers for Johnson, Carter and Clinton (all Dem) who were Presidents during times with no recessions. The article doesn't give any comparison that allows for this lucky circumstance but I would bet that, if it did, the numbers would favour the Republicans.

Seeker Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 That is completely partisan. The report you linked to is not a government report - it was produced by a Senate sub-committee of Democrats! Big surprise - everything Democrat is better. If a person went looking they could invariably find a Republican report that says the exact opposite. Let's find a MacDonald's restaurant owner and ask his opinion about which is better; a Big Mac or a Whopper. Any guesses which he'll pick?

Give me political agnostics that vote based on policy. People need to see (and experience) how little they actually want what they seem to be asking for. Other parts of the world illustrate that this stuff can go real bad real quick... most astonishing to me is the appetite for it. I find myself screaming WHY DO YOU WANT THIS at the computer screen. Gobsmacked no longer seems to cover it and mandatory military service with mandatory foreign deployments now seems like an existential requirement. Global warming is far from achieving the same threat threshold as partisan madness manipulated by agenda driven fools. .

Sure, here you go: https://capitalistcreations.com/why-america-desperately-needs-a-republican-president/ It's just as biased as the ones you posted and just as useless. The point, which you seem to have missed, is that if you make a slight adjustment to the comparison (this is from the article you posted) the Dems are ahead by a mere 0.8% and if you make it as fair as possible by filtering out both abnormally good and bad times on a worldwide economic standard it favours the Reps.

Interesting article. However, it rails on about inflation and taxes yet doesn't touch on GDP or any real indicators of economic growth. Only about growing wealth for the richest. Apples and oranges. Edited to add: It's about growing the economy. Your article talks about the taxes under Roosevelt, however, it was the largest growth the U.S. had economically. https://www.thebalance.com/gdp-growth-by-president-highs-lows-averages-4801102 Edited April 28, 2021 by deicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
