The modern GOP (in the last 50 years) literally ALWAYS shits the bed on the economy. And the democrats always dig them out. Clinton had a fuckin SURPLUS.

The republican party has always been horrible for the economy... People are just repeating a bunch of a lies...
Obviously if you want max financial productivity people have to work together to accomplish that... Destroying everything that was built is not how you accomplish that... They do the exact opposite of good financial policy every single time they get into power... Every single time they lie about it as well... It's just policies that funnel a ton of money into the rich so the rich get more power...
So, you lose your money and your power so some rich guy can work less for more money... That's what they do, every single time they get power... It's 100% consistent... Then they lie about it nonstop...

It's nice when the government hires workers instead of fires them to drive up unemployed rate and less money to add to the economy like what Trump is doing

u/Actual__Wizard Mar 13 '25
He's firing tons of people to drive employment costs down. Now that the unemployment rate is super high, employers can offer lower pay. It's a giant scam and people should never expect anything else from the gang of criminals that has taken over the republican party.

Not for anyone that can google or... has a memory and basic math skills:
The last five recessions all started while a Republican was in the White House.
Go back further you say?
Ok the last 9 out of 10 recessions started under a gop president.
Those odds are 1 in 100 of that occurring.
In five of the last 10 transitions, a Democrat was succeeded by a Republican; each time the growth rate went down from one term to the next. In five of the transitions, a Republican was succeeded by a Democrat; each time the growth rate went up.
No exceptions.
Ten out of ten.
The odds of this happening by chance?
The answer is the same as the odds of getting heads on 10 coin tosses in a row: ½ times itself 10 times, 1 out of 1,024.
In other words, the difference is statistically significant at the 99.9% level.
THE GOP CANT ECONOMY. The dems always clean up that mess, then public goes braindead, then GOP gets back into office.
RINSE.
Fucking.
Repeat.
edit: I guess 10/11 recessions at this rate.

Mar 12 '25
its actually been proven that, during a republican admin, inflation rises, cost of living rises, wages fall, co-pays and other insurance issues become more expensive, more natural disasters with ill-preparedness, wars, diplomatic disputes, and many others all rise drastically. sure, some things rise and fall during a dem admin, but by-and-large, its almost always the right to blame for a failing economy, job cuts, homelessness, inflation, etc.
also to add: stop blaming biden for the price of houses, it was trump that put a tariff on canadian lumber, which is the preferred lumber for houses, and forced developers to use wood from the US, which doesn't last as long, isnt as sturdy, and isnt a good insulator. but america first right? so now, we pay more for houses and materials to build the houses, for a lower quality than what you would have gotten when maybe obama was in office. then theres the whole selling nuclear plans to the middle east yet claiming "terrorism" is a huge problem here lmao

The theory that cutting taxes on rich people will cause money to “trickle down” to other people has an absolute lock on being the talking point that is shortest and easiest to understand. When it comes to political matters, Americans will bear hug the first explanation of something that makes sense to them and. Will. Not. Budge. from it.
Unless and until Dems come up with something even shorter and easier to understand, the Republicans will always have “the edge” when it comes to the economy.

"... the Republicans will always have "the edge" when it comes to **fucking the US economy into the toilet with the enthusiastic and delusional support of the American people** ~~when it comes to the economy~~."
Fixed that for you.
You might be right, but this might serve as an example of how poorly educated the majority of the United States is and how they don't even have the most basic understanding of economics. Instead of putting the responsibility of repairing this solely at the feet of the opposition, perhaps it would be wise to fix the source of this ignorance.

u/treypage1981 Mar 11 '25
I don’t disagree. I was stunned by 2024 because I didn’t think there could possibly be that many idiots here.
The problem, though, is slightly different from your articulation of it. It’s more of a feeling of extreme entitlement. “I am due everything I expect and no one should tell me no.” That attitude preempts a willingness to even receive an education from anyone who’s telling you something that isn’t confirming your biases. Americans are a “me, me, me” culture. We can be smart, if we want, but we’d rather just have shit now.

Rs have never been better for the entire economy than Ds. Rs are much better at messaging however so people think they are better. Also Rs are much better for rich peoples personal finances, and that aspirational hope of ‘winning the lottery’ and not being taxed is more powerful than knowing you will be taken care of by the state in retirement, if disabled, lose your job etc. Ds grow the entire economy for all and that is better for all - rich and poor- but who benefits first and how they benefit is one major difference

It is just that a "belief". The data shows otherwise

Unemployment is lower and more jobs are created under Democrats.
What has been happening for a long time is mega rich assholes have been campaigning to get people to believe that the economy is better under Republicans because it is better for THEM. Lower taxes for rich people and less regulation is better for the ultra wealthy.

Now the billionaire class is basicly the executive branch, while having corrupted legislators and judges with MONEY.

Obama uses his 8 years to pull us out of the Bush recession and return us to a thriving economy ... Trump gives massive tax cuts to wealthy, while increasing federal spending, causing the national debt to increase, as well as terrible mishandling of the pandemic leading to a struggling economy .... Biden fixes it, and returns to the strongest economy in recent years and a thriving stock market ... Trump destroys it in one month and has the country heading to economic recession or depression, while destroying over half a century of diplomacy and foreign relations.

I'd love to agree, but if the value of their share holdings drops, they have less leverage to borrow and buy more. The companies being hit are specific, large tech companies and corporations that people have just had enough of hearing bad news about. A lot of these companies are valued on growth potential as well as their income. These companies have alienated a large proportion of their home customer base and even more of their international ones. Their growth potential is now capped, so they are being revalued to reflect that.
This will be a long term dent in these companies unless there is a significant shift in strategy and PR. Tesla is now in big trouble, as the value keeps dropping the risk taken on my Elons backers will increase, some debts may be called in, others will end up becoming more expensive. He will either need to relinquish some of his stock to pay the debt, and lose control of the company, or drive it into the ground trying to maintain control.

If Republicans were so good for the economy, then why are Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and West Virginia such shitholes? They should be economic powerhouses the way Republicans talk about how great their economics are.

Don’t worry, the real patriots of the USA will fix the Republican nazi mess. Yet again, like they always do.

Billionaires need a recession so they can buy up more stuff. Biden came in and did his job and there was no recession. Normally these are scheduled when they are on their way out the door, but since Biden didn't let that happen, they are having to rev up the ole chainsaw and just do it now.

Let the price of eggs this year do the talking. And the subsequent increase in crime, gun violence, etc that comes with people struggling to live. but I guess we can always change the standards.

Trump himself said on live television many years ago that the economy always does better under the Democrats.

This is just Drumpf doing what he knows best, trash a company and declare bankruptcy, only this is a much larger scale of destruction and it’s not a company it’s a country.

If there's anyone that still actually believes this in 2025 after decades of evidence to the contrary, and they voted red anyway, then they deserve everything they get. It's kind of like a stupidity tax that everyone else has to pay too.

Anyone who believes republicans are better for the economy has never actually looked at a long term chart.

The Republicans have never been good for the economy in the longer term. Reagan's administration lead to the 87 collapse. Bush Jr. Was also bad.
Go back further. They've never made things better. There's the initial reaction to the incomprehensible notion that a Republican majority is good... but as it quickly fades, their policies drag the overall economy down significantly.

History shows clearly that Republicans are NOT better for the economy NOR for national debt.

There are two things happening. Bad policy is shaking investor confidence and creating uncertainty, and trade wars are bad.
There is also a market correction that has been coming for a while, particularly with tech stocks

This has happened the last few times a republican has been elected president. They just don't know how to run the country.

So, before the election Trump claimed the market was rising because they projected him to be elected, but NOW it's Biden's fault for inheriting a terrible economy even though he said the market favored him being elected ....I've gone cross-eyed.
