    re PaulE 835am – Statistics are never free of bias and politics. Here’s another recounting of Biden’s performance from Karl Rove answering Biden’s long 1jun22 WSJ article on his ‘plan’ to end inflation.

    Paul – “a response to his applauding Trumps economy”
    The “Trump economy” was booming. America was once again energy independent which we had not been in decades. Lowest unemployment ever for black Americans.
    The stats all showed Trump did what Obama said was impossible.
    And we all know what happened.
    All across the country, governors and mayors shut down whatever economy was theirs to control.
    And it was no longer the Trump economy – it was the covid economy.
    Paul knows all of this full well, but continues his stupid, childish game of trying to pin it on Trump.
    The fact that the conservative states did far better than the Dem states is lost to Paul’s hate-filled head. Those Dem states dragged the rest of the nation’s economy into the gutter. All the Dems can think of is flooding the country with printed paper, saddling businesses with inane regulations and deliberately running up the cost of energy. It is going to be a painful slide downhill and we have no dot-com boom to save us this time.

    Thanks for agreeing on the numbers Scott. What you have now diverted to is the reason for the Trump slump and that’s covid according to you. Biden certainly inherited the covid situation and you can add the Ukraine as well. Also you have price gouging on the part of the petro mobsters. the Dems have introduced a bill to deal with that but it has been blocked bu the Repubs. Figures.

    No, punch. The reason for the “Trump slump” was the Democrat hysterics calling for shutting down everything. The Trump economy was chugging along nicely and if that continued, Trump would have won in’20 walking away.

    Paul – “and that’s covid according to you.”
    Yeah – just me, Paul. No one else in the whole country thinks the economy tanked when a vast swath of the workforce hid in their house for months at a time.
    Trump had no control over that, Paul.
    Biden said he was going to end covid with his ‘plan’ and Trump gave him the vaxx the Dems claimed would fix everything. And more people died under Biden with a vaccine available.
    “Price gouging” by the petroleum industry??!!
    Funny how that just started when Biden came into office. Why didn’t they do all of this a long time ago? There is no price gouging, Paul – it’s a con by the Dems to deflect from what the Dems said they were going to do. They openly said they wanted high fuel prices and they set about making sure it would happen.
    Have you actually read the bill?
    “The legislation would give President Joe Biden the power to make it illegal for gasoline to be sold at “unconscionably excessive” prices, and would let the Federal Trade Commission seek penalties if evidence pointed to an unfair uptick in gas prices.”
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/kaliedrago/2022/05/19/house-approves-bill-to-ban-gasoline-price-gouging-but-its-unlikely-to-pass-in-senate/?sh=7358caf79009
    That language is absurdly vague. And issuing fines just because someone claims to have some evidence that “points to” a raise in price? Pass this crap and you’ll end up with NO fuel. Do we want that again? There’s a reason Carter was considered one of the worst POTUS’s ever.

    Trump had the value of a hand grenade thrown into The Swamp. As it turns out, his real value was not so much to steer the ship of state, the War Party would never allow that, but to highlight the illness abroad in the land. The outlines of The Swamp were briefly visible.
    With the status quo back in power (was it ever out?), hope is not a thing I deal in much. ‘Optimism is cowardice’ said one Mr. Spengler, and I’m afraid he’s right.

CA homeschooled and her daddy taught her how to catch fish on the back side of Rollins. A useful gift to give a child….the thrill on bringing them in.
