CNN Poll: 7 in 10 who watched say Biden's speech left them feeling optimistic

Let's not forget "infrastructure week," that never came.
you can try and run from liberal results but the reality those results destroy your credibility. California has been a blue state with a Democratic Legislature since the 60's and has the fifth largest economy in the world yet cannot solve the problems of poverty and homelessness as the benefits from those economic results go to the top liberal elites which you don't seem to recognize when talking about the rich. When will liberal results ever reconcile with your rhetoric?
 
Government sucks money out of the economy, and produces nothing. The less money that the government takes from the economy, the better off we are. That is a BS myth that government spending is needed for the economy. The left loves to push that, because it is an excuse for them to grow government, not the economy.
The left wants to ignore that the highest taxes in the nation and highest cost of living exists in Blue states and blue cities where the rich liberal benefit at the expense of those they claim they want to help. The left will always focus on FIT and CIT tax cuts but never the tax revenue coming from high state and local taxes and the purpose of those taxes.
 
More lies and distortions from you as you continue to run from the liberal results

Right, Ukraine has a profound impact on you, your family, and the country, stunning how requesting information to you is a crime but getting actual benefit from Ukraine isn't an issue
...
Whether the former president was engaged in a scheme to threaten the President of the Ukraine to announce a false investigation against the guy would be his political opponent in the 2020 election, who is now the current President of the United States, has not only a profound impact on me, my family, but the country too. That's what leaders of banana republics do -- invent smears against their political opposition. The fact that you can cavalierly ignore its importance and mentally sweep that impact under the carpet says a great deal about your shallow belief in democracy.

Let's look at those high tax-rates.

Taxes under Republicans.webp

Seeking information isn't the same as actually getting paid by Ukraine for selling information and access. So you claim the current President is having an influence on you and your family? As stated how does it feel to get everything you want being paid for by someone else? For four years you spread lies and smeared the President of the United States none of which had any foundation but now all of a sudden it is smearing the current President by posting official results? How typical of people like you who apparently are getting paid to destroy anyone who gets in the way of the liberal narrative. How dare me post liberal results!!
 
Let's look at those liberal results:
So what Biden policies generated those results and what components of GDP generated those results? Do you have any idea what the components are of GDP? Liberal results are whatever you apparently want them to be as context doesn't matter. When the GDP exceeds 22 trillion dollars and there are 7 million NEW jobs created then you can tout liberal success but until then you have nothing but your typical liberal lies, distortions to post
 
Let's try this: California's economy is booming, and that's creating a lot of problems that they are trying to solve.
Economy booming? Not so sure many in CA would agree with you. Newsom is now facing a recall election.

You may be confused. I’m not sure what that has to do with the economy of California. It’s economy is bigger than all the red states, put together.

“The economy of the State of California is the largest in the United States

You keep making that false claim then never explain with that booming economy where the dollars go and why it isn't helping the poor in the state. The answer is simple, the money goes to the rich liberal elites who you want to ignore but instead want to focus solely on rich conservatives. Just think how much money California's leadership could redistribute and solve their own problems. Seems that having among the highest taxes in the nation and the highest minimum wage isn't creating the positive results the left wants to claim and propose for the rest of the nation
 
LOL, yep, you love hearing a President tell you what you want to hear ignoring the actual results generated from that rhetoric and always having someone else pay for your personal responsibility issues

Let's look at those liberal results:
I doubt that indoctrinated liberals like you will take the time to read this however going to post it anyway. Here is what liberalism does and continues to create

 
The CNN poll really didn't mean much. Particularly when they couldn't find people who actually watched Bidens stroke session. The viewership this time was way below Trumps. When it's so low the only people watching are the adoration addicts leftover from the Obama revival meetin' crowd. CNN is right to say the audience went to sleep instead of watching.

Democrats vote. Republicans watch teevee.

Are we indoctrinated because we don’t agree with the GOP senate leader?

Bi-partisanship!

Dollars going to liberal elites? No, just the educated and skilled workers. That's the "liberal elites".

Trump's solution was to make sure no one had any skills or education, and we all continued to live in a 1950s manufacturing style economy where you didn't need any. Does that sound like a good solution to you? If the manufacturing workers and Trump voters of red states want to be liberal elites too, they can take some perosnal responsibility and do that too. But they don't, and tell everyone else to take personal responsibility. Why aren't they taking personal responsibility and upgrading their skills for the 21st century economy? Why do they want to keep the country stuck in the 1950s, or even the 18th century?

NO, state and local taxes go to state and local programs and California economic dollars generated are available as well, why aren't they solving California problems? You keep blaming Trump while ignoring California's problems and poor results coming from that strong economic activity, among the highest taxes, cost of living, and minimum wage in the country. Liberalism is making a fool out of you
 
You better watch it with all of that "data". All that has gotten most of us is closer to broke. It's time to relive the good old days when the rich didn't take half the money.

50 Richest Americans Almost Have More Money Than Half the Country — and COVID-19 Played a Role​

Plus: The richest of the rich hold 30.4% of all household wealth in the U.S., while the bottom 50% hold just 1.9%

Want to tell us what Party these richest individuals support?

You are a scream -- anything to denigrate Democrats and falsely elevate your fallen messiah.

How did Biden do it? Glad that you asked. Biden got passed the Covid relief package that put money into American's hands. He also put in place a plan to accelerate Covid vaccinations, that the former guy abdicated to the states. Biden's goal was to vaccinate 100 million people in his first 100 days. His results doubled that goal -- 100 million totally vaccinated (two doses) in 100 days. That got people back to work and into stores.

Trump didn't create 7 million new jobs. He was a net loser of jobs (see below). You have been educated about this many, many times but your ingrained ideological blinders won't let you accept this fact.

Does this really surprise anyone? Antifa and BLM are being supported by big business - the WEF - and are destroying small businesses, creating unsafe streets in order that people now shop on line. Jeff Bezos, and others on the WEF website have become the richest people in the world, thanks to the ignorant leftists. Covid, imported from China, certainly helped the process along.

If leftists genuinely want to increase the numbers in the middle class, stop destroying their property and supporting politicians who get their financing from Wall Street and Big Tech. Pay some ****ing attention to what's going on before complaining.

Small businesses are destroyed by capitalism.

They support the Democrats. I can't speak for Bezos but Gates is on record of wanting the richest Americans, like himself, to pay higher taxes. Warren Buffett also wants higher taxes on the rich.

The difference between rich Democrats and rich Republicans is that rich Democrats don't mind paying higher taxes for the good of the country. Rich Republicans, like you, it's all about me, me, me.

California has made the transition from an industrial economy to a 21st century knowledge based economy. It's booming economy is proof. The problems it is facing are the same ones facing growing industrial economies of the 19th century. Those who didn't make the transition, stagnated. The powerhouses of the 20th century were the countries who did go through the pain and make the transition. The pain did not mean they were on the wrong track.

But of course I understand you will never be convinced. You want to keep manufacturing industrial jobs still in the US, and fight any attempts by government to provide the education and training for the American work force to to make the transition. You want to keep America in the 1950s, with big factories operating on coal and fossil fuel. If you are sure that's what you want for America and think that's what's best for its future and will make it great again, keep voting for the Trump types. I guess there is nothing else to say.

I just would find it surprising that you have really thought through what the consequences of such American stagnation would be. You are just too focused on obsolete 20th century issues like communism and 20th century measures of success in terms of manufacturing output to really see how the world is changing. And more importantly, you are too focused on just being contrary and "owning the libs". But I would want you to consider that these may not be in your own long term best interests, or those of your children or grandchildren, if you have any. Staying in the 20th century will keep the US great- by 20th century standards. The rest of the world will have passed you by.

I am so sorry that actual results denigrate Democrats not my rhetoric

It is quite stunning that I got my first Covid 19 show on January 6 so should I thank Biden?

As for Biden's covid 19 package when was it passed and how did it impact first quarter GDP? You are looking for anything to make Biden look good and making a fool of yourself

As for Trump's job creation, better tell BLS.gov that there data is wrong because by February 2020 Trump had created almost 7 million NEW jobs but as usual you supported the economic shutdown due to the pandemic to stop the spread of the virus when the reality is you only wanted negative numbers to blame on Trump. It is stunning how loyal you are to liberalism. You going to tell me how workers benefit from economic packages with economic shutdowns managed by the governors and mayors?

It is you that is the scream, someone so totally biased and partisan that you cannot honestly debate any issue

I am still wondering why you seem to conflate state government with "personal responsibility".

That is the point, they do support Democrats so why do people like you demonize the rich as if they were Republicans? Do you have an explanation as to why these rich liberals just aren't paying more in taxes since that is what they support? What is preventing them from doing that? You focus on rhetoric but not logic, common sense, and facts.
