Democrat Economic Policies Work
Dear Editor,
One of the criticisms Republicans have leveled at Democrats is that they are the party of big spenders creating budget deficits. Facts just don’t bear this out as twice in recent years presidents Clinton and Obama have brought order to the budget and to the economy in general. Under President Clinton we had a balanced budget and President Obama engineered a plan that diverted a deep recession or perhaps even a depression. In contrast the Trump Administration created a large national debt.
So what has President Biden done for us?
- The unemployment rate stands at 3.8 percent which is near a 50-year low.
- Last month 187,000 jobs were added as businesses continue to expand and spend.
- The housing market has rebounded impressively.
- Inflation has dropped from a high of 9.1 percent in June 2022 to 3.2 percent this past July.
- Growth in the GDP (gross domestic product) was a solid 2.1 percent in the second quarter of this year.
And what does the Republican Party have to offer?
- The Republican U.S. House of Representatives has not passed a single piece of legislation to address the many issues facing our country like immigration and climate change and in fact are looking to shut down the government by not paying what the country owes.
- And a likely nominee for president who faces 91 felony charges in four separate court cases, who has encouraged an insurrection and who openly undermines our system of laws and threatens our very democracy itself.

Republicans can’t legislate because they refuse to work with democrats to compromise on certain issues so they can pass a bill will broad support of the American people.

Lol, Republicans can barely even work with each other. All they know to do is to blackmail their own leadership with threat of shutting down the government or defaulting on US debt. They don’t care about America. Just their own power.
Lol, Democrats don’t care about America. Just their own power. As the old saying goes, they’d vote for a dog. . .as long as it was registered as a democrat.
So the party that promotes the Big Lie about election fraud and supports the riot against the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power isn’t more power hungry party? Riiiiiiight.
That’s right–keep on drinking the kool-aid.
The deficit is over $31 trillion. Trump added 8 trillion, 1/2 of that coming in 2020 during Covid. Someone else is responsible for the other 23 trillion.
The unemployment rate in 2019, the year before the pandemic was 3.5 percent…the lowest since 1969
The average monthly gain for jobs in the US in 2019 was 178,000
What did the housing market rebound from. The average American can’t buy a new house due to high interest rates and inflation brought on by the Biden administration. Homelessness is rampant in America, especially in those cities run by the blue party
The fact that inflation was at 9.1% says it all. Have you looked at prices in the grocery store and gas pump and compared them to 2019? Inflation was 1.81% that year.
GDP was 2.29% in 2019
What’s your point? We all suffered during the pandemic and it’s aftermath. Joe Biden has one of the lowest approval ratings concerning the economy in history.
No US House has addressed immigration in 40 years.
The nominees for President from the Republican Party has not been determined yet. The tired old man that was elected king in 2020 can’t put a stream of thought together and has a son that may one day bring indictments his way. The Democrats definition of democracy is one party rule. Look at the mess that is California. No thanks. Checks and balances have worked for a long, long time. The guy with 91 felony charges and no indictments is not President anymore. And won’t be in 2024. Sleep better tonight. And continue to study up on your Democrat playbook.
Facts don’t mean anything to liberals, they’re only interested in power.
At least we KNOW Trump lost in a fair election and the fact is that there is NO evidence if mass fraud that Republicans claims because their dear leader is such a sore loser.
Trump is the front runner in the Republican primaries showing without question that Republicans have not integrity and only care about retaining power.
Trump could have actually reduced the deficit before covid but elected to give permanent tax cuts to his wealthy friends (small temporary tax cuts for everyone else) to the tune of 2 trillion dollars. So yeah, Trump could have done great things given the economy he inherited from Obama. He just chose not to.
Biden admin so far is leading us to a soft landing from the covid economic crisis. So he is chosing to do what is actually good for our Country.
Really, where the h_ _ l you been living lately, under a rock? Just go to food lions unless you’re on foodstamps.
Hey Bob, thanks for the amusement. Just like reading the funny papers. Remember them?
Uh yeah, Newt Gingrich and the Republicans didn’t help Slick Willy with those balanced budgets at all. (Insert massive eye roll.)
(Holding up a blank piece of paper) This is your brain
(Holding up Bob’s letter) This is your brain on (National Socialist) Democrat Party propaganda.
Bob writes a letter with good use of data and facts….and all Alan can do is repeat some childish bulling he likely suffered when a child in school. Hmmmm…who is the adult in this room? Once again, it isn’t the Republican.
Someone needs to get their s^*t together for posting an argument. That includes me.
