Trump printed $4T in a year, Biden printed $1.5T in 3 years. 80mph vs 10mph.
The 80mph is what got us to inflation town. If someone looks at 80mph and 10mph and says "I'll elect the 80mph guy because 10mph is irresponsible" then yeah, I'm pretty comfortable characterizing that as pure economic ignorance.
- indigo0086 2y agoGlad someone understands inflation. This is true and all we can hope is that someone close to him understands this.
- nightski 2y agoTrump didn't print $4T, the bi-partisan effort in Congress for COVID relief did. I think the problem in voters eyes is that Biden did not stop after this. He pushed through multiple trillion dollar bills on top of it. I'm not saying I agree with that stance, but calling the $4T Trump's doing is a really misleading. It was not part of his economic agenda at all.
- mobilefriendly 2y agoYeah Trumps spending was bipartisan but Biden unilaterally poured fuel on the fire after Covid.
- michaelmrose 2y agoInflation is down prices aren't going to come down if we spend less.
- NobleLie 2y agoYep. It was probably the singular reason (of a few) he lost 2020.
- nomat 2y ago> It was not part of his economic agenda at all. Then why did he make the IRS reprint COVID relief checks so he could add his name to them? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/inside-the-disaster-trumps-signature-heaped-on-the-irs_n_6723e3b8e4b01f6919d9803d https://www.huffpost.com/entry/inside-the-disaster-trumps-si...
- nightski 2y agoI mean that is obvious right? It was self-promotion, one of the few things Trump is really good at. That doesn't mean it was in his economic agenda to pass trillions in debt funded covid relief or that he was even responsible for it.
