What hasn’t gone to hell since Biden was elected?

Drone strikes have basically stopped, so that’s a pretty big deal imo.

7.9 million new jobs – record growth for a president's first 14 months – and a drop in the unemployment rate from 6.4% when he took office to 3.6% in March

The deficit dropped $350 billion last year and is on track to drop by $1.3 trillion this year.

Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years.

The US is the only G7 country back to its pre-pandemic GDP

Thank you for the effort. At least you tried.

First lets talk about the deficit.

"The Treasury Department reported Wednesday that the federal government posted a deficit of $165 billion last month. That was 42% lower than the same month last year when it rang up a record October deficit of $284.1 billion as revenues declined while spending to deal with the impact of the coronavirus soared."
"This October, the first month on the government’s calendar for fiscal 2022, spending fell 14% from last year to $449 billion, while revenues rose 19% to an October record of $284 billion.

Treasury officials said Wednesday that the lower October deficit this year was attributable to more tax revenue from millions more people back working, and booming corporate profits as the economy reopened. Last October, there were still no vaccines and many businesses suffered as people remained holed up at home."


A year ago businesses were shut down due to covid. Now that they are open they are paying taxes and corporations were showing a profit. As per the OP corporations are now reporting lower profit if not losses thus the dow plunge.


Next lets talk new jobs claim. No not new jobs just old jobs coming back after shutdown ended and covid is seen as fading away. Economy is opening up.

Now the 5.7 gdp thing. Same as above. Covid has run its course and economy is coming back.


All your claims of Biden accomplishments are covid related and are nothing more than the natural order of things as the the pandemic ends.

Now lets look at things Biden has actually accomplished.

Record high gas prices
Rećord high inflation
Record high government spending
Record high illegal immigration
The Afghanistan exit debacle
Dow falling like a rock due to poor corporate earnings
Begging opec for oil instead of us being energy independent as we were under Trump.
War in Europe due to Biden's weak response when Putin massed troops along Ukraine border and Russia making nuclear threats against us.

This is Biden's record and these are things he touched as per OP that went to hell.
 
Look on the bright side, we could be Florida and you could be gay.

There have been a few strikes since then, but it’s a massive decrease since Biden took office. One of the few things I am really happy about when it comes to the Biden admin.
What we know for sure, though, is that "there have been zero local or official reports of US drone or other strikes in Somalia, Libya, Yemen, or Pakistan so far under Biden," Chris Woods, director of the monitoring group Airwars.org, told Insider.

There have been no reported drone strikes since Joe Biden took office

The apparent lull — punctured by one US airstrike targeting ISIS in Iraq — is unusual for a new presidency.

The combination of the two should make for an interesting explanation. I see them as being very contradictory.

Russia has destroyed its military and diplomatic power in Ukraine.

China has destroyed its domestic image and economic output with its failed zero-covid policy.

Meanwhile the US and its allies are more united than anytime since...probably right after 9/11.

I can't help to wonder what has replaced drone strikes, good and/or bad.

I don't think they are. Clean energy is good for American power, because it means less reliance on hostile regimes like Russia. I think the war in Ukraine is going to accelerate that, because Europe seems ready to take steps to wean itself off Russian natural gas. And that will be good for climate change too, because it will unleash a lot of technological improvements in renewable energy and battery tech, which bring the cost down for everyone.

Difference is dow drop in Trump term was due to a pandemic beginning not Trump policies. Now the dow is dropping as the pandemic is ending and Biden policies are the cause.
Think before you post.

Europe chose Russian NG because it's green energy plan was failing and not providing enough power.

The stock market isn't even a good indicator of the economy's overall health. It's basically millions of traders, investors, and their computer algorithms making bets on future economic growth.

How do you explain this part of your #8 comment?

"2. ... it's becoming increasingly clear that the worst-case scenarios of climate change will definitely not happen."

So somehow in your mind Russia invading Ukraine has made us stronger and is actually a good thing. Okay LOL

Dow dropped yesterday due to present day corporate earnings. Not a good economic bit of news and it scares investors.
