MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is joined by Yale Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld to discuss the latest evidence of the successes of Biden's economic policies. Sonnenfeld says Biden is having the strongest positive effect on the economy of any president since FDR.
Things are improving for someone, but I make less and pay more thanka to economic effects and it is hurting my balance book.
Well don’t forget who’s at fault.
The oil companies, grocery stores, medicals, utilities, property owners, etc all have record profits this year and last
If Biden wants to take credit for the economy, he can share in the blame of how it got there and the effects that are being felt by the people. In inflation was 15% and profits are up by 15%, it doesn’t take a genius to think that there might be some price gouging that needs to be investigated… but that would hurt those economic numbers and he couldn’t brag about it during the upcoming election.
@bob_wiley @Saneless Why would Biden take credit for Trump trashing the economy, destroying jobs, and overall wrecking the nation?
He’s taking credit for people saying the economy is doing great. Republicans came up with the term “Bidenomics” early on in his presidency to make fun of him, and he’s now using it as a positive term as the election talks start up. If he is going to run on the back of “Bidenomics” being good for Americans, then he is taking credit for the current state of things and trying to paint it as a good thing. And if that’s the case, people should be upset.
So you acknowledge the republicans used the economy (which wasn’t his fault) against Biden, but you’re bothered that he said it’s now a strong point so he’s using it back at them to undo their bullshit early on?
Ok
You’re ignoring the context and the point of my comment. It’s only “strong” for Wall Street, while people are still hurting financially. If he’s using the economy as the backbone of his campaign, it seems like a bad plan. Claiming victory while people are having trouble affording food due to inflation is not going to be received well.
This is all politics man. Happens every election
