Bipartisan Senate report describes 2016 Trump campaign eager to accept help from foreign power

Why do you continue to use 2008 as your starting point and then 2016 as your end point? Barack Obama became president Jan 21, 2009. Fiscal years, which is the standard used by the BEA begin on October 1st.

Then for some reason you are ignoring 2020 data:

Personal income dropped but personal spending went up - not a good indicator for future well-being.

Very simple, that is when the recession started and that is the target Obama was hired to hit, not the numbers the Democratic Congress generated for him and still didn't make him look good.

How do you explain 146 million employed when the recession started and 9 years later 152 million employed calling that a success? A returning job isn't a new taxpayer and it is taxpayers that the gov't needs for revenue

Do you know what Congress does? Democrats controlled the entire Congress from January 2007 to January 2011 and they gave Obama NO 2009 budget, TARP, and a stimulus program almost day one after taking office. That 842 billion dollar stimulus program saw employment drop from 142 billion in January 2009, to 138 billion January 2010, 139 million in January 2011 never getting back to 146 million until Mid 2014

Why do you keep focused on the Pandemic results and not the economic policies per pandemic? What exactly did you expect to happen with a shutdown economy to slow the spread of the virus? Isn't that what you radicals are wanting, the virus to stop spreading? Not surprising that all you really want is bad economic news to blame Trump.
 
“Just judge the president on the facts. Five million Americans infected by COVID-19. More than 170,000 Americans have died. By far, the worst performance of any nation on earth,” Biden said on Thursday night. “More than 50 million people have filed for unemployment this year. More than 10 million people are going to lose their health insurance this year. Nearly 1 in 6 businesses have closed this year.”

So many lies exposed about the current administration.

So let me know the last time you saw the President in your hometown or state enforcing CDC recommendations? I asked you to point me in the direction of you proving me wrong and what you have offered is partisan liberal talking points. Are you telling me you didn't support shutting down the economy to stop the spread of the virus? what did you expect the unemployment and GDP to be with a shutdown economy? Why can't you just simply admit you wanted something to blame Trump for?

You believe Biden rhetoric? Why? Simple isn't, because that is what you want to believe as you totally ignore context. Biden is going to give you exactly what you want and if he doesn't do it, Harris will, the nanny state and removal of personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, due process included. I hope you are able to survive the next 4 years of Trump, hatred is a terrible thing to have as it blinds you to the reality of who Biden/Harris really are

Context? :lamo Personal freedoms? :lamo

What the president has given us is a collapsing economy, massive unemployment, the loss of health insurance for millions in the coming months and over 172,000 dead citizens. Thanks Trump.

I have already demonstrated that the economy has been successfully restarted in countries, and even states in this country that do not follow the book of Trump on pandemic control. What this administration has done is to murder citizens and still manage to crush the economy. lose lose.

Don't post at me about liberal talking points till you have examined conservative (fake conservatives) doing points.

So many lies exposed.

No, the pandemic gave us the economic results not Trump but noticed you refused to answer the direct question as usual. this is a debate forum and you aren't very good at it.

Aren't you supporting the shutdown of businesses to stop the spread of the virus? What did you expect the economic results to be with a shutdown economy

No, you haven't proven that other countries economy has started and is doing better than ours. You focus solely on liberal talking points and allow the left to use you as a political pawn

Looks like the economy is recovering to me as over 10 million jobs have returned since March and the best is yet to come. The only one lying here are leftists who want to divert from their own failures

You need to stop falling for conservatives game. Every thread he tries to make it about the economy in order to veer the op off course.
 
Right love the Obama trajectory which of course the electorate saw as well giving the House to Republicans in 10-12-14-16 and the Senate to Republicans in 14 and 16 along with the WH in 16. Seems you have a real disconnect with reality
LOL. So did trump give us a dem house in 18 and 20 and a dem president in 20?

You're making an unsubstantiated assumption, my friend, that a conservative post has any correlation between assertion and reality, much less causation. Logic has no bearing; partisan spin is all that is relevant.
