No, Biden had great public sector job creation. 

 

Trump is the guy placing more taxes on the economy, by far. Not even close. 

 

Trump never learned you can't tax your way to prosperity. We are paying for that ignorance 

Public sector job creation is not a good way to expand an economy because most of the time govt jobs are net negatives on an economy, just ask the USSR or any competent economist. The fact you are running with the "tariffs are a disaster" while there is no evidence of that is hilarious when Biden policies cause so much inflation.

For those looking for work, the story couldn’t be worse. Indeed, as of June, the average period of unemployment was 23 weeks, according to the latest US government data, while nearly one quarter of people have been looking in vain for a job for six months. It’s one of the longest waiting periods since the pandemic. “The patience for some is being tested,” says Ron Seifert, a Korn Ferry senior client partner and leader of the firm’s North America Workforce Reward and Benefits group.

Such waits are causing mounting frustration for legions of qualified workers who have found themselves filling out dozens, if not hundreds of applications without hearing a word back. Meanwhile, amid a sea of résumés, many corporate leaders say—ironically enough—that they can’t find workers with the right skill sets. Their firms continue to fret about everything from inflation to tariffs, which is delaying a lot of hires.

 

 

For nearly everyone, the length of unemployment has been climbing steadily before reaching its new, three-year high. But it’s gotten particularly prolonged for certain groups. For men between the ages of 45 and 64, the average time being unemployed is at least 33 weeks, or more than eight months. At the other end of the spectrum, many recent college grads—traditionally some of the most affordable and trainable potential workers—are also finding it tough to get a job fast. The average length of unemployment for a 20- to 24-year-old with a bachelor’s degree is 20 weeks.

Biden had great private sector job creation, unlike Trump whose taxes are killing hiring, the economy and American companies

I didn't believe your numbers so I just looked up NYC poverty rate, which is 25%. Then I recognized that all the states you list you have pockets of blue that make the majority of those percents. Lastly the quality of life list is hilarious because state 1 and 2 keep growing so much because people want to live there, maybe your problem is more along the lines of perception sucks

COVID was absolutely self inflicted, so that is a stupid reply, and the inflation was all under Biden, just ask the Dems Twitter account. 

I know a large part of Covid was self inflicted. DT had 14 months to do something about it besides telling people to drink Clorox.  
 

You can blah about 46 all you want but what DT is doing right now is sheer idiocy…absolute cowardice saying US won’t compete on the world stage …so he’ll just tax people like you…to saw that off….sounds like a great plan huh?

I cannot understand how any rational person would think that raising the average weighted tariff on imported goods by approximately 10x would not have an impact on prices and growth.

 

But that's the power of the cult.

 

I knew Trumpism had largely extinguished Reaganism in the newer and dumber Republican Party. But I guess I hadn't realized that it completely extinguished any logical economic thinking.

Oh, you're right.

Why do you always assume that when someone points out something is warped in modern Republican thinking that they believe modern Democratic thinking is just fine?

I really do hope Elon Musk forms his 3rd party and that it gets a little traction just like Ross Perot did in the 1990s. That helped push Bill Clinton's Democrats to the middle.

I don’t necessarily assume that. When it’s someone disingenuous doing the posting, someone that has described himself as fiercely independent but who reliably takes the democrat position, I think it’s ok to play devils advocate.

Is the Reagan position the "Democrat position" here? I don't think so.

I agree but on the grand list of policy blunders greater than tariffs l'm still waiting to hear any admission from the left that inviting in 12 million generally unvetted illegals dependent on public assistance funds at the state and federal level, sucking up finite resources and producing next to nothing, not to even mention crime generally against legal immigrants, wasn't just as dumb if not dumber. 

So it's hard to buy into the puzzlement of why won't rational people admit tariffs are dumb when Liberals and Democrats, except for Maher and Carville, won't dare to never ever admit to any policy errors of even the slightest significance.

My life was back to normal in the fall of 2020, so DT did right by me. Not sure where you are getting the " won't compete" unless you think our goods being the only ones having tariffs is fair competition. As for taxing me, I already buy as much as possible from the US so I have not have any products go up really and the inflation has finally stopped.

Does not matter, the city is incredibly wealthy overall. Unlike red state Arkansas which is poor all through and through 

Arkansas has the Walton's so you are wrong twice over.
