Sorry, you don't get to cherry-pick your data.

The 3rd quarter GDP for 2020 was 38% , after the covid virus devistated the economy the first 2 quarters.  Go ahead and cherry pick your numbers - the ones I posted are available to confirm on the internet. Why don't you try posting the true numbers for where the economy was pre covid and after the first 2 quarters of 2020, during the economic shutdown caused by the virus. You never post the true, complete numbers - you only post the numbers during the worst of covid and it's total effect for 2020. Dispute that.


Do you even understand that "GDP" means Gross Domestic Product? 4% of what? Are you saying that the GDP shrank by 96% under Trump? While he fucked things up royally, it wasn't that bad!

 

Likewise, "The 3rd quarter GDP for 2020 was 38%"? 38 percent of what?

 

You bleat about this stuff and you don't even comprehend the basic terminology. It's like complaining about the 450-degree weather outside or the 700 feet of rain that fell last night.

I know you have trouble with comprehension - find a 2nd or 3rd grader to explain to you what I posted.

Bye, David.


I figured it out, everyone! The reason behind the hike in gas prices, from the front page of my Saturday Wall Street Journal:

 

"Big oil companies are generating their strongest cash flow in years and heeding investor calls to return it to shareholders instead of using it to drill."

 

Hooray for the free market! But I guess that must be Biden's fault too.

Isn't it hilarious how conservitards continue to think, despite all evidence to the contrary, that if we funnel as much money as possible to our benevolent corporate masters, they will use it to CREATE JOBZ! and shower the nation with prosperity? What they do instead, of course, is fatten themselves (and their Republican servants) up.

 

Remember the justification for Trump's bigly tax cuts? Corporations were supposed to take this largesse and invest it in job growth and all of AMURRICA would benefit. There would be unicorns jumping over rainbows and the price of everything would be three cents. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. The big corporations stuffed that money in their pockets with stock buybacks. The "little guy" didn't get shit. But the fat cats were purring!

 

We're never going to be a functional country as long as big corporations and the rich are our actual government.
