Just a normal Tour of the Capitol
MAGAs keep saying that Joe Biden is "Destroying" America. Just "look around" they say. It's everywhere!
Here’s a perfect example.
“Socialism. Communism. Open borders. Ilegal Aliens. People aren’t working. Stores are closing down because of the violence. Liberal Democrat Judges letting criminals out onto the street. He’s destroying our country. What’s he done to help the American people? [Biden] is so demented he doesn’t even know where he’s at, he’s not running the country. Barack Obama is really in charge.”
But all of that isn’t even remotely true.
Other than higher interest rates (which is under the control of Jerome Powell who was appointed by Trump) and high prices - 54% of which is directly caused by price-gouging corporations (who are protected and coddled by the GOP) that now have sky-high profits - every other economic detector is literally the best it's ever been.
Inflation which had risen to 9% has dropped literally to 0% in the last few months, averaging 3.2% for this year.
US inflation is lower than any other nation in the G7 and ranks at #15 Worldwide.
The Federal Deficit which was increased by $600 Billion by Trump before the Pandemic, then by another $2.5 Trillion *during* the Pandemic has been reduced by a record $1.7 Trillion during Biden's first term. [It has increased again slightly last year, but that was largely because of lower revenues due to Trump’s Tax cuts]
The GDP has jumped as high as 6.9% under Biden while Trump averaged only 1.7% and peaked at 2.9% while losing 2 Million jobs. Biden has (re)created 13 Million jobs so far and counting. Trump had - including Covid - the worst economy since Herbert Hoover while Biden has had unemployment below 4% for the longest in history.
And there’s much more.
