I suppose though I should feel sorry for you, as you lack any sense of self-worth. But - nah, I don't.
    Thanks for the red rep. Your views are currently far from normal, reality seems to consistently elude your grasp. Seriously, you appear to be becoming more unhinged, if you are not on medication perhaps you should be?

    Your pen portrait above is correct as far as the couch sitting goes. I'll plead guilty to spending excessive time on my arse. The balance of it though is about as accurate as the rest of the nonsense you post.

    There's a swamp or two that still need to be drained, and there's nothing happening here. All of the ideals on offer are designed to be well within publicly acceptable limits still. The U.S. swamp has been getting a little bit of light though, and in response many are "waking up" to the potential that the game is slightly more rigged than they know. Not sure WTF it would take to raise the same kind of awareness here.

    Out of a population of 330 million, so about 0.09 percent of the population, which in NZ numbers would be about 4500.... surprise surprise we have similar numbers. No data there’s but I’d hazard a guess that many bankruptcy at personal level would related to a non acc injury or illness that leave some one unable to work and pay mortgage etc....

    Over 300 miles of proper border wall have been completed. The fake news media however will only credit Trump where there was no existing barrier. Eg contractirs could have built the new spec wall replacing 19 miles of existing barbed wire cattle dance but media would not count that etc....

    Except it didn't massively accelerate , from mid 2009 right through to late 2019 there was a linear progression, same with the decreases in unemployment

    Looks like it's time to start an ignore list. Or stop reading this thread as Trump was a more interesting president.

    Yes, there was linear progression, and then it doubled.

    Doubling (at least for an Economy) is a massive acceleration.

    Economic Growth

    I'd be interested to see the data (and source) that you're referring to. Assume that you're referring to GDP data.

    After the downturn in the US real economy (arising from business shutdown due to Covid), a "doubling of economic growth" (in % terms) over a short period might not be as large (significant) as first thought.

    It would also be interesting to know what proportion of the US real economy (given how much is service based) actually recovered to its initial position prior to Covid.

    From here

    Obama goes from ~10,000 - ~20,000 in 8 years, Trump goes from ~20,000 - ~30,000 in less than 4 - and although there's a big downspike from Covid, it does seem to have bounced back strong.

    Thanks.

    I thought people were talking about the real economy - and not the US stock market.

    That's one metric, GDP shows a similar trend that there was steady progress under Obama but under Trump there was a significant increase of Progress. The unemployment rate (before Covid) was also extremely good.

    Yeah, Trump's focus on the stock market got him a lot of votes from people who didn't much care what else he did, so long as their 401K pension plan was on the up and up.

    Trump didn't know much about economics but he understood that the share market perorming well was good for votes. He has had the US Treasury pumping trillions into the share market to keep it artificially inflated. Some investors will be holding their breath while they wait to see what Biden does. If he stops boosting the market it could crash. If the US stock market crashes ours will likely follow suit. Interesting.

    You make it sound like ensuring retirees and Pensioners can live comfortably in their old age is a bad thing. Surely it is better that their 401K does brilliantly so they don't require government assistance?

    What he did was deregulation and cutting red-tape. The current Left has abandoned it's libertarian ideas and loves centralisation and Bureaucracy. Cutting the cost of Compliance meant that Companies could focus on doing business rather than compliance. This lead to low unemployment, Economic growth etc. etc.

    As for Biden - he's already killed 70,000 jobs and the Sword of Damacles is hanging over New Mexico's oil and gas industry. There's been some rather hilarious posts by people who publicly supported Biden and have now found themselves on the chopping block crying 'No one told us he would do this' - and people like me going 'Yeah, we did - you called us names - and now you get what you fucking deserve'
